Yup, I reluctantly came to the same conclusion before I left her, but would have avoided this if possible, hence my enquiry here. System restore would prob. have to go back two months, and that just ain't available: I checked. Too much b***ering about has been done before I arrived on scene. So it looks as tho' reinstall may be the only option left.
Only thing is, 'tis a preloaded 'academic' version of XP with no backup CD; while I do have XP pro I wonder if a reinstall would accept a non-academic product key. Hmmm
Thanks, anyway.
