COMPUTER LOCKS UP

[Tim Steeves]

I installed Windows Xp 3 months ago and it has been
nothing but problems. The NVidia GForce 4 Video reboot 3-
4 times when logging on. My windows 98 games lock up.
MediaPlayer plays garbled sound. I want to rebuild and
reinstall a working OS. How can I backup user
information. When I try copying Windows says the files
are in use.

Hi Tina,

Use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to backup user settings and such,
then do a clean installation. If you place the fastwiz backup file on the
same partition, just make sure you do not format during the new
installation. See this page for details on using fastwiz:
