He did say "or Win XP". I'll have to go back to find your original post to see if I can help. Well, from your subject, maybe you can use a System Restore point? --------------------------- If you need a stable, secure OS, get Ubuntu. If you need a stable, secure OS, and need new hardware, get a Mac. (Guaranteed OSX Ultimate Capable)
From: Stephan G <stephan-g@viewpage.net> Dear Alan: Thank you for your suggestion on wiping the disk and reloading the OS, which I imagine you might be suggesting because of your political feelings to Microsoft... which I don't think are wrong. However, this would not be a practical solution for me in any way, and this installer claims on the PHP site to be Vista compatible, so I am hoping there is a much less destructive way of dealing with this issue. Anyone else? Many thanks. -stephan Alan Milnes wrote:
