Hope I'm posting this, to right spot; if not, move me accordingly.
Our PC seems to lose/misplace" file associations (I think it would be) now and then; currently, the PC will play music CDs, but seems not to function if I want to install a program, from a CD. Ideas for a fix, on this?
Other, thornier problem perhaps having to do w/RAM as was the case once before, is this: now and then the PC gets stuck in a loop of checking/restoring the Reg., and goes on and on like that, til I go to safe mode Cmd line prompt, and manually copy backup files (system.dat, user.dat, etc.), to the WIN dir. to give it a "boot in the" hard drive. Works then, but I find that annoying to go through, and I wondered if anyone has thoughts on why that loop happens, and how to preferably prevent it, to begin with(?)
Ideas vastly appreciated, as always.
Cheers, SG1 (Pat)
