I wanted to thank the Forum for all the help the members and the staff have given me over the past 7 months. But, after having to reinstall WIN XP for the fifth time in that many months due to corrupted profiles/registry(hive), I decided to go back to WIN 2000 Professional.

I somehow remember it being kinder/gentler than WIN XP. I like WIN XP, but the installs are killing me. I amy reinstall after the SP1 is released but not before visiting this board for some worthy intel.

Again thanks!

8) It's been this long and an XP fanatic hasn't shown up yet to argue your facts? 8)

XP works great, but Win2k does a fine job also, so I see no reason to criticize that. XP=Win2k for home users.

It didn't occur to me to point out that my 27 work installations have been running just fine on their first installs ranging from old beaters to the new dual Xeon boxes I got for our engineers. Do you think that would have helped?
