I think I’ve finally cracked the various PC issues I’ve been having - last night I reinstalled XP on my laptop (again). I’d done a reinstall last week, but I’d neglected to format the HDD first; the upshot of which was my hard disk was almost completely full of folders XP wouldn’t let me delete.
Now I have a lovely clean install of the OS and the system seems to be running a treat, I slowly installing all my software and running Windows update many many times - I should be totally back to normal soon. All that really remains to be done is a restore of all my important data from back up.
