At the risk of being annoying and incarcerated, I have
another question. I have been brought to the brink of
insanity trying to find out what is causing my CPU to
idle at 50% load. I've tried evrything, and though my
computer is now a bit faster and more efficient, it still
mocks me at 50%.
A couple of you have suggested re-booting, and "wiping everything off", also
saying that this would be an "easy"
solution.
I haven't done this in years, and the last time, I remember re-loading software
for two days solid. That leads me to believe
that there is some way to re-boot, while indicating which
programs you want to stay; a "soft" or "partial" re-boot.
Is this right, or am I facing re-loading every friggin' plug-in,
program, etc.?
Help!

Using GHOST 2003 is the only way I have kept what little sanity I have.
I make images like this.
Winxp1.gho raw xp install
Winxp2.gho with Paris installed
Winxp3.gho with Paris and 20 fav apps
Restoring an image takes 3 minutes typically, so I can play all I want
and always get back to a milestone.
