See, you guys know a lot more than me. I got it back ok as someone in another thread did me a walkthrough, which happily I managed to figure out. I was thinking maybe I should get Acronis, any opinion? BB

I may have to have your babies. That'll be ok, won't it? Big Bill :-)

I duped this from the end of another thread - working on a new and unfamiliar machine, so apologies. My old machine - hoo boy! Problems! Since this seems to be the home for the sesp21a maybe you guys can help. I installed this over my functioning 98se setup and I can't get back into it now. I boot, avg boot scanner runs, thats ok, then the windows screen appears, as it should then eventually it goes into the registry checker screen and starts backing up system files, this is without any prompting at all, then restores them, it says from a previous backup as there was an error in the system files, as you'd expect, then says to restart, and when I do I just cycle through the whole thing again. I can get into safe mode only by pressing F5 during boot, everything looks ok when I'm in there but I can't see anything to fix! It looks ok, no glaring errors or anything. So I'm at a bit of a loss now. there's no sign of the sp in control panel so I can't unistall it, what to do, mes amis? I can only think to sfc everything but that seems laborious! I'm managing to send this via my new and unfamiliar XP machine, so I'm a little hamfisted! BB
