Re: Reiinstalling XP Pro

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Sorry about the three times. Only the last post showed up until i clicked
show all post which I didn;t even know about.
I didn't stay in the OP {old post?} because everyone said i had 98 on the
machine. Win 98 was on the machine at one time but I have been running XP
for a few years. I assume there are some files left over from 98 after the
installation of XP. I thought the easiest thing for me to do was to see if i
could reinstal XP with out to much trouble. I wasn't even sure that thread
was still being followed. I do appreciate your time and knowledge. Sorry for
any inconvience....Tom
