heffus2..... Perhaps you should tell us what you mean by "if i do a system recovery " ?
Then you were asked which operating system you are using ......... Windows 95 ,Windows 98 , Windows 98SE , Windows ME , Windows 2000 , Windows XP .
Which one do you have installed on your computer?
Find the cds that came with your pc ........ list them here for us to see .
Providing the brand name and model would be help also.
