Re: Restore Question....

I apologize if this seems to be taking me a while, somehow over the years my
husband and children have come to expect me to feed and clean up after
them...the nerve! LOL *just a wee bit of sarcasim* I have been printing off
instructions and getting the files/programs I need to complete all the
repairs. In your first set of instructions you wrote:

- Manually remove and then reinstall the .NET Framework 1.1 (See the 824643
Article)
For the articles below, follow the "IT professionals" link and find the
download for your OS.
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867460/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886903/
- Download/Install http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928366/

The first link does not lead to any downloadable files and does not have an
"IT Professionals" link. It lists all the bugs that the .NET Framework 1.1
service pack 1 fixes. Will I be missing something vital if I can't get
anywhere with this one?

it was in the green every time (did find out my hard disk temp.

still get the error messages when I try to repair or uninstall .NET
Framework
2.0 & 3.0....1.0 only has Remove...not Change/Remove....haven't
tried it yet though.

Remove is fine - but the .NET instructions (web sites I posted) have a
manual method you may have to follow.

I am about to move on with the rest of your
instructions, You asked me to Download/Install Windows Update v.3
and mentioned I will need to install it using the command line
switch "/wuforce" right after the reboot, immediately after logging
in.... I'm not clear on this...do you mean click on the start menu,
click on run and type that into the location box?

You should save the Windows Update executable in the root of C:. Then you
should open a command prompt window (start button --> run --> cmd --> OK)
and in that window, change to the root of c... (type in "CD\" (sans the
quotes) and press <enter>) and type in the name of the windows update
executable file followed by a space and the /wuforce and then press enter.

Oh yeah, here is what I found out after using Belarc:
Processor Speed: 2.65 GHz
Amount of Memory: 512 MB
Hard Disk space: Capacity: 40 Gigabytes, Free Space: 22.46
Gigabytes

Cool. Not a horrible machine.

You mentioned to get rid of my Norton Anti-Virus...should I go back
to using my Grisoft AVG Free, or is there a better/more reliable
one availible? (I will have to uninstall all my rogers services for
my internet and then reinstall with out selecting the Norton
Products, it was part of the set-up disk I received and so far I
haven't been able to find any uninstall for just the Norton and it
is not listed in add/remove programs (my Rogers services is in
there, so I'm assuming that it is all tied in together) I was
planning to figure out a way to get rid of Norton anyway, I keep
getting script errors when I try to open the Firewall, I have
switched to using the Windows Firewall.

AVG is a good AV solution. Should work fine.
You mayh be able to get rid of the Norton products using this:
