Hi. Well, in te end things worked out alright. with the help of my software engineer friend, I was able to do as I thought, and create a new admin account then delete the corrupted one.
It's saved me a lot of hastle, ---- but there are some very strange things. For instance, some (though not all), of my program shortcuts have vanished. The programs are stil there, ---- and in the cases where they had a deffinite exe file they're not installed, but I'm having to go and physically recreate program groups for them. then, while Hal is working, the orphius synthesiser isn't! it's stil installed, but the program shortcuts have utterly vanished, and it's not appearing in the compatible synths list for Hal whatsoever. I'm having to use Realspeak daniel at the moment. I'm going to contact dolphin and see if I can either redownload orphius, or if I need to reinstall Hal to get it back. All very weerd! Of couse, though outlook express reappeared with my new account, my mail addresses haven't. I've been able to resetup my Dark address, --- but sinse my private mail address has a password set by bt, I'll need to ring them and give them a good yelling at to fix it, ---- and don't get me started on what I'll need to do with the university It service to restore my student address. while it's a pain, I'm just glad i'm not having to completely reinstall everything! Thanks for everyone's help. Beware the grue! Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
