I don't know what registry cleaner gave you a problem, but I can almost guarantee it wasn't CC. I have used it since it came out over many systems and platforms, and never once has it damaged a system or program file. Even it did it performs a backup, so just put the file back. With their...

Thanks Drew. I thought I had already done that, but there must have been two entries and I missed one. This time when I uninstalled Office, it took my mail program with it, so I must have been using an Office program. Anyway, I downloaded Windows Live Mail and installed it.

Thanks for the info. I have a couple of old computers [the oldest being my first build-a P-Pro 200], but I doubt that they would care for my 28" LCD monitor. It sounds like this whole idea is more trouble than it's worth. BTW, in regards to the question in your sig, I have a CBR600, a Boxster...

32-bit vs. 64-bit Comparison Reply to Thread PCPete, I found your post very informative, and not a bit too long. I'm computer literate on the hardware side, but not so much with software including OS's. I was interested in your mention of virtual XP mode and MS Virtual PC 2007. I just bought...
