Well it was time. I reformatted and re installed windows, worse than root canal therapy. Anyway what a difference. I do this yearly and have to load those programs and files I use. I forget how responsive it is at the start. I know in a year I would have loaded this and that and it will be a clunker. I use XP Home nothing special but after I trim the fat it sings like a bird. Downside is all the updates to come. I have decided to load all my favorite programs and do a drive image to make life easier next time. The XML one I did must have been faulty. Oh! well no worries.
My insertion list
Register Windows
Get on internet
Get Email working
Oh! Pain install programs
I always do this just before Christmas so I have a good start to the year
So all I have to do now is find my program discs. Disks! Disks! Where for art thou Disks.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Hey there!
I'm Mike and new to your program- but bought a lot already so I guess I'm impressed- good job!
Marketing suggestion-- just took a link from an email sale reminder and got a nice pop-up when I tried to login as a member. I assume it was done with either form builder or access manager and you might want to put a little text on the pop-up telling me -designer/developer, how it was made.
Exp. "made with Form Builder". Maybe a link to buy and a quick description of what option to use once you've created the form.
Don't you love when people try to "help" you run your biz? Haha! I'm really enjoying the innovation and WYSIWYG so far, thanks!

Prism every now and again , i open a new user account, import the stuff from the old one, and close down the old account.

Speeds my system up no end without taking much time at all, then a quick increase of the virtual memory, (paging file size) good as new, shame it doesn't work on us humans :D

Try it in 6 months see if it does the trick

I have Viv but there is nothing like a re format and re install. I use a drive image every 3 months to get email records saved etc.

By the way Slickarts The form builder will do what you want and so much more check it out
