Hi All


Just wondering if there is a way of deleting the sytem reg for software and hardware as my hardware wizard doesnt recognise or allow me to install my new graphics card, also it says Norton AV is installed but it has never been installed and i want to install it but it wont allow me.

any ideas

Cheers

Steve

Just wondering, is this your new 2K installation from a couple of weeks ago, or an unrelated problem?

You were going to do a fresh install?

sysprep - either find it on your windows CD or the Microsoft site. It's designed to prepare for imaging, so that on next boot it redetects all hardware (and changes SIDs and other stuff irrelevant to this).

Should do the job.
