No, do you think I should?
Yes I would try it. First I would make sure I had a current image of the
drive. I use Acronis True Image Home version 10 to make compressed images
of the drive to an external hard drive. I make sure I have a current image
before making any significant changes.
If you don't employ a drive imaging system, then you have to decide if you
want to try it. Personally I would. Normally if a restore doesn't help you
can undo the restore.
But as for years now, as I said earlier, I don't make major changes without
having a current image.
By the way, as a tip, you need to quote at least a portion of the message to
which you reply to keep the context. Many people use a newsreader and only
download the current messages (as I do) so they might not see the old
messages in a thread. That's why it's standard protocol in a Usenet
newsgroup to quote. This is not a forum, despite the fact that MS provides
a web interface (which is I think truly awful way to access newsgroups).
