Alan, You can repair your XP install and thus retain all files and settings whilst putting a fresh copy of XP on your machine.
Just boot from your XP install CD and select the repair option rather than a normal install, this will retain all your files and settings. XP is drivel but this feature actually works pretty well. I've used it on several occasions, especially when I hacked my login screen in a somewhat carefree manner with bizarre conseqeunces! cheers, Sol. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 7:58 AM Subject: FLUXLIST: aaarrrghh! help!!! teknicall assistance required.... > > sorry about the non fluxlist context > > > > whilst setting up my new midi controller keyboard and installing some software i have managed to send my computer into an infinite boot loop. > > > > i fear i may have have to reinstall the OS and thereby lose a large portion of the FFFO!
