CA>Hello Tom -

CA>You don't need to 'start over'.

CA>AZ>>>> You can get TweakUI from:

CA>AZ>>>> http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xp
CA>AZ>>>>  oys.mspx

CA>AZ>>>> It's a modest 224 kb download.

CA>To begin with Alan jumped to recommend the wrong version for
CA>your hardware. I doubt you have an 'Itanium'?

That is corect.


CA>The version for the rest of us without Itaniums is:

CA>------------------------

CA>Tweak UI

CA>Download TweakUI.exe

CA>147 KB 1 min @ 28.8 Kbps

CA>------------------------


Rhat is the one I downloaded previously and forgot about.  :-(  :-(


CA>If you downloaded the "modest 224 kb download" you had the wrong
CA>version for your hardware. The 147 KB is more likely the right
CA>one.

It is.

CA>Also: "Tweak UI Version 2.10 requires Windows XP Service Pack 1
CA>or above / Windows Server 2003. If you have a Windows XP system
CA>without any Service Packs installed, download Version 2.00"

I have the XP Home SP2 version.


CA>TW>> I tried that one Yesterday on my XP Home machine and it
CA>TW>> would not install. I had top revert to an earlier Tweek UI
CA>TW>> I downloaded a couple of months ago that was only 147K

CA>JE> Tom, if that XP TweakUI wouldn't install ion your XP system
CA>JE> you definitely need to wipe the drive and start all over.
CA>JE> It has installed on numerous XP (Pro and Home) systems for
CA>JE> me.

CA>Jay made an assumption here without a complete understanding
CA>of the circumstance regarding TweakUI (as did Alan
CA>apparently?). His advice to wipe the drive and start all over
CA>is what I like to refer to as "BAD ADVICE".


I rejected it as such without any Hesitation.  :-)  :-)
