I just got done reading the posts regarding SR and I felt like I'D already
been there and was reading what I wrote before I wrote it!!! I'm not a
"Computer Geek", but I am a college graduate and I even have a bit of common
sense when the directions don't work "just" the way a company says they will
as far as figuring it out myself, but XP Pro is XP Pro, and as much as I try-
it makes NO sense to put this false sense of security in the minds of the
people that spend their hard earned dollars into any of it! XP isn't based on
DOS like the previous Windows programs are, even though they say the
operating system for XP is NT which "IS" Dos based
I'm so frustrated at the run around since even stepping away from 98 (years
ago). Nothing about any of it has been less than a hassel, and the bottom
line still remains-- WHAT IS?& WHY DOES "SYSTEM RESTORE" or the much touted
concept of it even exist if it is redundant in reality? The big selling point
with XP was the security and the fact that as long as you set restore points
(in response to the person that said that it was a persons fault for not
doing so)System restore is a Windows XP version of backing up ie: if you set
a restore point before doing any changes to your computer, and you make a
mistake, whether it is your fault or the fault of whoever made the program
you down loaded-you are under the false sense of security that System Restore
will put your computer back the way it was before the mistake was made,
without you loosing any of your original information!That was the BIG SELLING
POINT! So why doesn't it work!!! For SR to tell me that there has been NO
CHANGES MADE TO MY COMPUTER at the same time I'm looking on the screen at the
changes that I HAVE MADE, is UNACCEPTABLE!!! Not to mention unethical for
alot of people that have sttod by and tried to be lyal to this company! I'M
DONE!!!
