I may be using the wrong term. The term in the instructions is "in-place
upgrade". The reason i started this was to get the system restore console
on. Form the tech notes i found, because i didn't have it tunred on when
i
did the SP2 update, i had to an integration of my original XP CD(pre SP2)
and
the SP2 installation package, and then do the "in place upgrade". I've
had
lots of trouble since:
Window's installer would not load - fixed this
Now add remove tool won't open and some programs woun't run.
I'm about to through in an old disk, format it, and start from scratch.
But
i think i'll loose some programs in the process.
Sure would like to find some way to check/fix the integrity of the system.
I've run SFC but it didn't fix things. Maybe because of the "in place
upgrade" from the integrated builds.
btw, sorry that i posted in a new thread. I think i've been working on
this
too much
