Hi,

I have had a lot of trouble with my installation of XP lately, tried all
sorts of "fixes" and I am finally going to bite the bullet and put women and
children in boats and sink the ship and rebuild. I have most of my stuff
backed up, but I have a question about a URL that I have made available
offline. To be exact, it is a Hallmark card that someone sent me and I
synched it so I could look at it after the 90 days expired. I have it saved
in my favourites and the link still works after 5 months. My question is,
where is that information stored? If I just back up my favourites will this
link work when I do a clean reinstall or is the offline information stored
somewhere else. I don't want to lose it but I am not sure how this works.
Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks
Wendie
 
What is the specific problem for reinstalling? What a lot of wasted
effort if you discover it was all to no purpose because the problem is
still there!

Well, there are a lot of things. I get the memory cannot be read every time
I close IE6. The system keeps hanging and the event viewer has the following
error all the time "Cleaning up corrupt content index metadata on c:\system
volume information\catalog.wci. Index will be automatically restored by
refiltering all documents." Outlook 2003 hangs every time I close it and I
have repaired it several times and reinstalled it. In fact the whole office
suite hangs. I have all the latest service packs, I switched to Firefox
because IE6 was so painfully slow it was like dial up. That was fine for
awhile but now it too is going like molasses. I have another hard drive
piggy backed in the machine and I have most of my stuff on that, I just
wasn't sure about where the information for this card is stored because I
don't want to lose it. I don't have any spyware, malware, hijackware or
viruses, I have checked it all thoroughly. The system isn't right and I am
tired of putting out brushfires all the time. Probably best to wipe it and
start again. However, I am open to suggestions!

Thanks Gerry

How large is each hard drive and how much free space?

How much RAM memory? Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up Task Manager and
select the Performance Tab. What is the Commit Charge? What was the
Peak?

Try Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore to remove all but
the latest Restore Point? Then run Disk Defragmenter on your C drive in
Safe Mode

Some copies of Error Reports from Event Viewer. From the System and
Application sections. Limit the copies to those where the Event Type is
Error.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.
When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event
ID, Source
and Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the
error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two
pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your
message
(email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the
info from the
Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make
sure this is
the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer.

If you're viewing the card offline, its location is probably noted in the IE
address bar. There is most likely more than one file involved in it in a
subfolder.

Open IE, open the card. Select save as in IE. Note the location you saved
it to, should be in a folder with nothing in it. Create such folder if none
such is available or easy to find. Move the entire contents to removable
media including the folder. After installing XP, copy the folder,
subfolder, and its files back to your PC. Double click the file in the
folder, IE should open and open the entire htm related items. Save as a
favorite again after you install XP again.

To save your current IE favorites, open IE, go to import/export. Save
favorites here using export. Move the bookmark.htm file to your removable
media if you didn't save it there. Use the vice-versa for restoring, import
favorites.

Yes, I like wiping the XP partition every year just to get the trash out of
registry. Not saying or implying this is the problem in your case.

That's silly. No need for it if you properly maintain the system.
