bellgamin, If the Acer has 2GB of RAM (or more), it's not worth the hassle of replacing it with XP. I would leave Vista on it (just be sure to...
Brian, I know that many of us here can do that, but I believe you (and Pete) missed the point I was making about the necessity of ease-of-backup...
Specialized programs are almost always the best choice, except for a novice PC user, as Wendi appears to be (Wendi, hope that doesn't hurt your...
Pete, I was speaking in terms of a PC novice who typically accepts the program's default locations, without actually knowing where they are....
While the 'real-time' backup solutions like AJC Active Backup and Second Copy are a sweet idea, I found they lacked a wizard to identify the files...
Well I was just about to buy the new drive at my local BestBuy, when I noticed it for $30 less on amazon.com!...
Although I've never performed a cloning operation, it certainly seems to be a better method (than image/restore) for this particular purpose....
It's got a 48" x 24" top surface. He has a monitor, printer, keyboard, mousepad, speakers, and a small bookshelf on the desk. Given some working...
Thanks lodore... Even though I'm a Drive Snapshot user I've got to admit that cloning (with Paragon) seems like a more straight-forward approach...
Your point is well taken. Hmm, that being a possibilty perhaps lodore's cloning suggestion does have other advantages (besides not having to...

Hi Brian, I was planning on using Drive Snapshot and yes, his PC does have hidden Dell diagnostic and recovery partitions (they are small in...
That's pretty much what I had in mind, except that I was planning to create and restore an image (rather than clone the drive). Would cloning...
Thanks for the suggestion Len, but the thing is that all of his personal files may not be inside My Documents. For example, not being an itunes...
Yesterday, my son told me that his 60GB C-drive (the only hard drive on his Dell Desktop running WinXP) is full. After asking him if he can...

ip, why is .NetFramework2.0 necessary? :-\
I tried installing this twice and it failed each time - resulting in the same error: The referenced links were of no help (and I do have SP1...
Thanks for the help Ron - reinstalling ESS solved the problem of the missing antispam toolbar. ;)
Yes it is - actually I did this by accident with an older build that didn't warn me that I was about to overwrite the existing sna file. That's...
No I haven't. How is that done?
Thanks Ron, I'll check that out. Btw, if the issue requires me to reinstall ESS, is it ok to reinstall over my existing installation or should I...
