Oh come on...he was using Ghost on a computer running WinXP....where
does one start...believe it is a Ghost problem first or ask a question
here where a number of willing WinXP experts will answer your question
and provide direction. At least one can expect to sort out wether it's
Ghost or WinXp that is the problem....but without insulting remarks
about the quality of the question, which BTW most replies found easy
enough to do.
NewUser could be "new" to computing not just new to WinXP...heck I find
things happening in WinXP that just make me shake my head...like the way
you remove programs from startup ...why the heck did MS decide that
using Msconfig (like in Win98)was too simple and make removing a program
from startup a PITA.
