Clean install saves the old system folder and installs a new system folder. Once you restart you can drag your old preferences etc into the new system folder. You can try copying the extension from another machine it should/might work.

By the way some of your older apps like Explorer might have to be upgraded, especially the ones that insist on the opentransportlib file. Sorry if its not the right name, its been a while since I played with 9.

yes, that's what i was thinking too...

two questions:

- can i burn the extension from another computer (running 9.2, i'm running 9.1) onto a disk and use that?

- if i do a clean install, will that wipe all my files, preferences etc. off the computer?
