Okay, maybe one more time. It's a piece of sh!te that crashes every hour and takes up a ton of hard drive space, but I wouldn't trade the System Restore option for anything. I had a problem with my ADSL (basically it just stopped working) and the helpdesk techo was walking me through uninstalling all my network protocols (TCP/IP, Ethernet etc) when the line went dead, just after I'd uninstalled all this and was about to go about reinstalling. D'oh!!!! But after about ten minutes of panicking I remembered this feature (which, coincidentally, is using up 12% of my 20Gb HD) and used it to restore myself to the way my computer was last Monday. And all my recent emails, files etc are all still here! Yaaay!! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Hey cool that it works for you Memnoch!!!

Hmm, so you say it worth trying once again perhaps??

maybe I should try it on my new (soon to hopefully come) computer here at work.

Please, feel free to give us more input. OS is a troublesome question and all good and bad info is good to have. It´s after all a question to choose the least eveil, erhm, least buggy one! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

NOTHING with Win ME is so good it weghts up all the bad things! Win 95 4ever!

Memsy,

You can get other applications that do the same thing as your 'system restore' that work with a decent OS! I use GoBack with my Win98. I've had to restore my hd any number of times and wouldn't be without some form of this program ever again!

I *will* be moving to Windows XP though, despite the security issues with raw socket functionality, because it's more stable than Windows ME and I got a free upgrade coupon with my Dell.

This is the 3rd time I've had to use System Restore, by the way. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/noncgi/smiles/eek.gif

I'll just stick to my dual-boot Win2000/Win98 setup thank you very much http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
from what I've heard about WinME I probably wouldn't allow it's setup CD anywhere near my computer. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

XP? Noooooooo!!!! You still have your whole life i front of you :O:O:O

Use the current version of W2000 if you value your life :O
