Re: Corrupted registry I have backup copy, please help??!!!

Thansk Galen for your help. But you know what, I remebered I had an old
PCMCIA adapter for CF cards, I insterted it in the PCMCIA slot and then I
insterted a CF card, and surprise: I had a fully usable new removable storage
device, PCMCIA works!!!!! So now I have the tough trouble of having to
download my 11 GB of personal info to another computer through a 256 MB
CFcard which is the only uno I have.

After that I plan to format my HD and Fully reinstall Windows XP.

Any advice?

Thanks!
