"Your Registry is corrupted, please visit this website
this is the clue that you became infected with whatever...........and as
answered in your previous post it only takes a little bit of security to
stop this trash from infecting your system.You also seemed to be unaware
that SP2 was added to XP for security reasons to prevent exactly what you
had.Both SP1 and SP2 are add ons to the original XP.What your post is
telling me is that you had XP SP1 you then updated to SP2..........then you
had some problems and needed to reinstall XP....SP1 because thats what your
system came with...and bang!! you became infected because you had neither
Anti-virus...not anti adware....nor Firewall and you went on the Internet.
The term clueless come to mind at this point....I mean it has been mentioned
in a multitude of media that XP needs all of the security mentioned to be
active and working before connecting to the net to upgrade to
SP2............
Yes I understand its a machine and as such needs to be "told" what to
do....but do you understand that??
its just another appliance.......and as such it needs maintenance once in
awhile!!!
If you wiped your machine by installing XP...wether it be SP1 or SP2 ..you
would need to load the drivers for the various pieces of hardware that are
in your machine.The same goes for software...a wipe is just what it says it
is...........it wipes your hard drive clean everything gone!!! In computer
talk its called a format.If you used one of those terrible pieces of
software that some manufacturers include with the purchase called a
"recovery CD" or worse just a "recovery Partition" and you were foolish
enough NOT to make a BACK UP of your files and settings.........hey what can
I say ??..........tough ***
This newsgroup and just about every newsgroup that I have ever looked at has
almost religiously sermonized on the virtues of having a proper backup and
has even listed the multitude of programs that let you do that.
So dont come here and whine about "upgrading"
be a man and owe up to the fact that you screwed up!!

I know people who upgraded to Windows XP or Vista, but they never really
seem
to notice, why doesn't my computer work as good as it did before I
upgraded?

Here is what I think are the problems:

1. HARDWARE - As you see in my last post, I had accidently installed XP
SP1
when I wanted SP2. Now, I need to reinstall most of my hardware!

2. SOFTWARE - This is no different then as with hardware! You need to
reinstall ALL.

3. OLD USER CONFIGURATION
By this, I don't mean that this is your fault. Installing a new version
of Windows might cause settings to be overridden therefore, possibly
damaging
hardware and software.

Now, I'm not saying that it WILL happen, I just thought I should let
Windows
users know that upgrading may cause system faults.

But whether you want to upgrade or not, it is entirely up to you!
(Microsoft, take heart!)

If you can prove me wrong, let me know!
