Perhaps try the manual System Restore once more, making sure you follow every instruction to the letter. If you had a full-fledged Windows XP installation CD, I'd recommend a Repair Install, but since you don't have one, you might need to start anew like you said at the beginning of the thread. Sorry I couldn't help you, shoutman. |
