My MSN Explorer suddenly decided not to work even after a system restore so
I decided to repair it. I highlighted it and clicked next. I don't know
what it did but immediately the machine was screwed up and I had to
reinstall windows after formatting.
Is there something I should know about "repairing" that way?
Another question. I tried first to an sfc /scannow and inserted my
slipstreamed XP SP1/SP2 disc and it stuck permanently at "Installing
Network". So had to start from the beginning.
It has been said that you can't slipstream an OEM XP SP1 with SP2 but I have
successfully formatted and done a fresh install that way.
So why would it stick at that stage of the "update" installation?
I'm the only user but connect to cable via LAN (Intel Pro/100 VE adapter)
