Ok, I looked up the Combo Fix for Vista. I will try it.....but I am afraid I could screw something up by deleting something I am not supposed to. I will run it and then do a search on what it comes up with and suggests to delete.

For Vista - I would not think twice - backup all data and verify access to the apps (Use Belarc Advisor for M$ serial numbers). Tripple check backup and wipe and reload. A clean Vista install, patched with SP2, and then install the apps will work much better than trying to fix. Still not as good as XP or 7, but better.

This is completely agree with! Vista = Windows ME = Windows 8

just like 98 se = XP = 7 = ?

damn i will even toss NT4 6 pack = 98 se = XP = 7 = ?

a fresh vista install is always better, then a fixed one, just like windows ME it was never the same. however there is a chance to save it, just slightly slimmer then me.


John that Vundo software i was reffering to is here, but there is one more and its driving me insane.
