to deal with this problem, I have a program called image for dos and
image for windows which I use to back up my machine. The last time I
reinstalled windows was well over a year ago.

be really careful about messing around in system registry. I've
crippled a fair few operating systems in my time without realizing
what I was doing. Had to have my dad come over and reinstall the
whole OS, which of course usually takes hours. At least it did on my
old Gateway, but that only had about 64 meg of ram so that's
probably hardly surprising. Games sure didn't run very well on that thing.

Hi,
Lol! Paranoia is right. I wouldn't reformat my system every month,
but I do reformat every six months or so to make sure my system
runs at peak performance if and when possible. Windows is notorious
for running great when it is installed fresh, but the more you use
it the system performance goes way down after a while. The registry
gets clogged up with junk, your temp directories fill up with junk,
and sooner or later the operating system sort of just
self-destructs from so much use. It has pretty poor resource
management all and all. I just ran a registry scan a couple of days
ago and it found over 2000 registry errors, all created with in the
space of a months time, and corrected them. Doesn't that say how
easy Windows can go to Hades in a handbag?
