After three years on the same HD I am reformatting. I have grown tired of the slow reactions each and everytime I click to load a PROG. Mostly Im sick of slow loads and freeze ups with FS2004.So tonight I have copied all my keys,installers and other files to CDs. I am only go to load what I have used the last six months on the new install....Time to be sure I have rid my system of hidden spyware and viruses as well as reset it bac to a time I remember FS9 ran much smoother...I tell you how it went....

If it doesn't go well, you wont. :)Good luck, it can feel quite daunting, but with a slipstreamed Windows XPSP2 installation, patched to recent date, it doesn't take long if the Operating System is installed to a separate partition. Allcott
