        Hello Jeff, we were saying ! 

 JG> We're only "stuck" if we stay with Windows.  Voting with our dollars

        Remember, I get most of my SW free, through an association
  with the builder. My vote does not count.

 JG> Yeah, I suppose an upgrade attempt to Office XP could be worth a try. 
 JG> Dunno if I'd expect success, however...
 
        I gree that it could be useless if the files missing are in
        the XP\windows\system32.

 JG> I've only used this feature once or twice so I'm no expert.  I believe

 JG> out.  I'm out of my league here.

        Is there not a Restore function if one boots from a bootable
  XP CD, this would be offered as an option instead of Repair or in
  the repair mode ? If there is, I did not see it or did not look for
  it. Serves me well. But the system is back up after a few
  frustrating hours, except for Office 2000. Baffling.  I remember
  reading of this Restore option in a Langa letter. Would it use the
  restore points ? Useless then as they were all erased.
