Watch you language! It's almost always a good idea to start fresh with a new INSTAL OF WINDOWS when possible. The WINDOWS REGISTRY inevitably get messed up as you use a system for day-to-day work. When you upgrade WINDOWS in place, some portion of these things will simply pack up and move along with the new VERSION OF WINDOWS. Doing a fresh install cleans everything up. Such extraordinaty precautions are usually not necessary when upgrading Linux or Mac OS X. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
