Barry, Just ran across a Microsoft Article that says after you do a Vista Re-install you can manually put back the Windows.old folder to restore a windows previous installation. My question is suppose the reason for the Reinstall was that you had a Virus or Missing System files or something like that, doesn't this just put back the problem that you had????
