i think ive destroyed XP

[Duff beer]

Thanks Mercenary,
the repair didnt work so re-installed XP, unfortunately lost all the data though.

Bit miffed about losing the pictures, never mind.

New problem now though is how do i get the apperance back to what it was. ie small, sharp windows and icons, rather than the large blocky ones.

Ive been through all the options in the display folder in control panel with no success.

any deas????

thanks
