Thanks, I kinda of figured it was something like that but did not just delete restore points as I use Winsafe XP to back up my system files.I also had read to leave the hidden system volume area alone as it could have dratic problems if you just jumped in and started deleting stuff.I guess I should go and introduce myself.I have been looking for a forum that offers the help that you provide.I build my own rigs and have alot of fun doing it.I hope that perhaps I can be of help to someone out there.I have built AMD and Intel machines.I am partial to AMD.Thanks again I hope to be a regular.harry754
