    If I reinstall XP will it completely blitz my current install of XP? i imagine I'll have to reservice -pack it... it's just that it bluescreens whenever I try to logoff or switch user, the system restore point has disappeared, I've uninstalled Roxio direct-cd-shite, so that leaves the display drivers as a possible suspect..... B.

      Just be sure to save the activation files so you can restore them after the OS has been reinstalled and avoid a call to the Microsoft Activation Police. (You can find a description of how to do this on the web, I'm sure.) --Mike-- Just released - 1ClickPicGrabber - Grab & organize pictures from your favorite web pages, with 1 click!
