Now I understand what you meant by "selectively"
... I'm never selective in
restoring; I just go to the last point I think will work and
start from
there. If necessary, I'll work my way back, back to the day
I bought the
computer if necessary (whch is not far from the truth if I
have to do a
complete system recovery). Maybe Hugh's link has the
asnwer; seems to be a
good page to hold on to. Congratulations on your new Compaq
Presario
SR1910NX, Mine is a year old, a Compaq Presario SR1520NX,
and I'm happy with
it. We can compare notes offline. --- Harold
