Re: XP versus 95

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If he was any good he would have recommended a backup solution the first
time he repaired your computer. It sounds like you have a bad hard drive.

My Windows xp just died for the 3rd time ... so for the 3rd time
I've taken it to the repair guy ...who says he'll have to reload
xp, that my data can be recovered piecemeal, but that my software
is gone. This never happened to me with 95 .... so .... I'm
thinking.... why not put 95 on the computer? What is the
downside? I'm a home user doing primarily music, photos, and text
processing.

TIA

Find a different repair guy, not one at BIGSTORE USA. This one is
taking the easy way out instead of finding out what's wrong. Can
you boot into Windows at all?
