How did you do the reinstall? If this was a repair install it should have left applications intact. But I'm guessing you installed XP as a parallel install, or to one partition while the applications were in another partition? In that case the applications will have to be reinstalled from original media. You might just want to start all over doing a clean install, formatting the drive. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html -- Rock [MVP - User/Shell] |

Gotta reinstall everything. Thank Microsoft and Windows software developers for introducing and adopting the "registry" concept instead of going with tried-and-true text file method for storing configuration data. |
