I would advise a monthly or quarterly image backup in addition to your current strategy. That would reduce your time for re-installation significantly (you wouldn't have to re-install all of your programs again).

I have to laugh... Sorry, Carl. You're right, of course. But I didn't mean it like that. My backups are in excellent order and if my hard drive were to fail or some other catastrophe occur I would have them all neatly lined up and ready to go. In an emergency I can cope. It's the time for reinstallation that I don't have right now; I was hoping not to have to risk precipitating an emergency voluntarily since I'm committed to getting a new computer in December. Oh, well. Maybe I'll bite the bullet now that I've been exposed to all as a coward. But a well backed up coward! -- E At 01:59 PM 10/22/2005, you wrote: >Computers can stop working for many reasons other than installing SP2.
