    If you format and delete, you lose all information & programs that was on the pc.
    Now you are starting from scratch, Brand new windows install for you, dont forget to get updates from Microsoft.

    I did get your PM's, I didnt respond, I have reading your various thread's trying to figure out your problem.
    Your best bet is to post your problem on the forum, then you can get help from everyone.
    No need to make multiple threads.
    I dont mind helping people here at MG, but I dont phone them with answers to thier problems.

    Good Luck!

    Since you are doing a fresh install of XP, it's the best time to get SP2 for it. Most problems with people installing SP2 stem from already having a bunch of spyware & other crap on the computer, along with forgetting to uninstall firewalls & virus products before installing SP2. Do it before there's anything else on your computer & you should be fine.
