Should have done a backup before installing systemworks I've frequently had to re-install it ( when you do the remove - leave system doctor running until the uninstall complains If you are lucky it will not remove the setup, and your re-install will use the not-deleted monitoring setup)
And - don't forget - the Nprotect is only 1500 files per partition, and the swapping of the 1501th entry for the 1st entry, etc. can take a lot (relatively) of time especially if you are (re)moving several thousand files and - if you want to recover a file, it's bound to have been over 1500 files ago! Also - I seem to (vaguely) remember there is a registry patch to keep a longer history of good boot registry copies but I thought you said that whatever got you had already deleted the associated 'user profile' directories. Gonna do a defrag/drive - re-org after the backup? if so - remove hiber.sys, create a permanent pagefile and get it near the drive start, Create a set of 'top's files (perhaps in co:\space) and have the defrag process them put after the win and system32 files Then, delete them and clear out protected files whenever you install something that you want faster access to re-create similar files afterwards to re-acquire the space JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Gundersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 12, 2005 8:25 PM Subject: Re: SOFT: HELP!!!! switched on Sunday AM to fin...

Obviously the bloody nastie wiped the registry and I lost all the registry setting for everything so a reinstall of 70% was necessary. Still got to get modem up & running and video editing progs although still there no reg values. Had to change Hdd letters to install stuff as DVD RW drive was relabeled R instead of M Took the opportunity to install Norton Systemworks 2005 now only need to install Winfax, password manager and a couple of other things and then do a backu and test it. Sir Hugh of Bognor Intelligence is not knowing the answer but knowing where and how to find it!
