I recently had to re-install my xp-pro due to a problem
which system restore couldnt fix. After a succesful re
install Im trying to reload all my software but every
install fails, even the printer drivers.
what do i try now?
help anyone??
 
I did not do a clean install, I wanted to save several
folders that were not backed up, I also was told by a
friend to switch file type at this time to NTFP from
nfat32 format. I have saved the folders now to disk, do
you think doing a clean install is something needed?
thanks for the responce very much
Chris
 
Well, if you have the files backed up, a clean install
would be a good thing. Only thing is though, if you were
running with an FAT file system before, and you install
with an NTFS file system, there is a possibility that some
of the backed up files, if they are programs, may not work
correctly after they are installed, but really it would
only affect very old programs primarily.
 
Dear Chris,

Did you ever get an answer to this question? I have the same problem. I
just removed a bunch of viruses, but now I can't download any of the patches
or install any new anti-virus software.

Thank for any help.
