Sure, there's always a way... it's called backup your data and reformat...

Seriously, it sounds like EE damaged the registry. A System Restore is in order.

Re: evidence elinator screwed up my comp...help

find the disks that came with your computer that say something about a "QuickRestore" or "system recovery" then you should just be able to pop that disk in and restart your comp.

It should give you instructions from there. (there may be multiple disks in your quick recovery set.)

Re: evidence elinator screwed up my comp...help

not if you have a habit om backing up your system but by default everytime you start up the OS and shutdwn window2000 & XP due take a snapshoot so if in any case you should beable to go back to previse setting before you had installed EE and if you install other software at the same time they will be gone also..I hope you have done this..?

Best of luck...later matrix1
