Look I know I am a NOVICE but I already stated in my first post that I
formatted my pc then put xp on, that's all I did, no I did not just overwrite
as that would of being pointless I did it fix problems and actually got more
in the long run. One of the other problems i also get the same error message
for internet explorer as I do for msn and media player. Now as I said I might
be a novice but my problems look like they're are all microsoft related.

Do u still suggest I do a clean install if I did and that's where my
problems started?

Hi I really hope some1 can help me...please!! I recently formatted my pc
and
put a fresh copy of xp on and ever since doing that I have had more
problems
then ever. It says my profile is corrupted that was the first thing i
noticed, now every time I turn on pc its like its been turned on for the
first time, whenever i open a program its like im installing it for the
very
first time, plus anything in my documents or my music or my pics eg.
dissappears when I restart the pc. Then there was my msn problem first
because of the previous problem it didnt remember my email, it doesnt
start
up on restart and when it loads up it comes up there is a problem with a
error report asking if I want to send or not send, I have uninstalled it
then
re-installed but this did not fix the problem.
This is really fustrating me so I hope someone can help!!!


A clean install is a clean install.
I'm curious how did you install XP the last time?
Did you format or just overwrite?
I've loaded my pc's too many times and I always wipe the drive and start
fresh, and have zero problems. So I'm curious again how you did yours.
