I finally decided I will install and try all the sharewares and
freewares I downloaded recently. I am worrying that some of the
installations will do damage to my OS. I used a shareware a couple of
years ago that let me retore the system state. All you need to do is
run the program, install any software you like, change any setting to
your OS or even format all your harddisk. To restore the system,
simply reboot your machine and your system is restored.

Windows xp, ghost, trueimage isn't the solution I am looking for, they
take too much time and disk space to do the job. Any suggestion?

Set a System Restore point.
Try out your piece of software. If you keep it OK.
If you don`t keep it, do a Sys Restore back.
It`s easy.

Thank you OJ. I have used setting Sytem Restore Point and enabled all
harddisk for it before. Then I installed Apache, MYSQL, PHP and tons
of different bulletin board pack like phpnuke, gallery2, phpbb,
vbulletin........ I screw up and make a system restore. After reboot I
found out that Apache, MySQL service is still running, those bulletin
board configuration files, directories is still on the harddisk. Do I
did something incorrectly or is system restore only restore system
files that microsoft think is important?
 
Thank you Dud, I tried to download it free from the site. But how do I
get pass the last screen that ask for credit card information with a
balance of $0.00. I finally choose call me and be able to download the
software. Thanks.

No, you didn't do anything wrong. That is how system restore works. It
does NOT restore your computer back to its previous state, it merely
restores the system registry and some monitored system files. It is NOT
the solution you are looking for.

I checked "Call Me" or something like that (after putting in a bogus address
and ph #), and it let me download. You need to use a real e-mail address to
get the activation code.
