Please can someone advise me on how to fix my boyfriends computer that I inadvertently screwed over the weekend.....
He has XP Pro on it but on SP1 - Broadband so I installed Lavasoft Ad-aware to find it had over 200 objects and nasty data miners.... During the clean up I kicked off the Norton/symantec live updates which then froze the puter and I had to crash out of it. On rebooting the puter up again I found that none of the .exe files can be found and none of the programs will open......
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated......
Cheers

I was just under the impression that you was unsure about what Portage entailed that was all, some members of the forum might be unsure on what the hell we are talking about.
Don't take it personally or anything

Disk "image". I would say google it, but you already knew that, didn't you? :O)
The best thing to do for Windows is to install it and set it up with it configured the way you want, and the main programs installed, then run Norton Ghost or whatever. That's what I've got. 3 DVDs with the image on, so I can have a fully working system in a couple of hours.
I tried Norton Ghost, it takes forever cloning a 40GB partition. Acronis TrueImage restored it in under an hour, and is just more hassle free than Ghost. You don't even need to reboot.
The problem with imaging for me is that the last time I reinstalled was probably over a year ago, so if I'd taken a 'perfect' snapshot then it would have out-of-date programs on it now; and I've found numerous programs that I can't live without since then, plus even more that I'd be better off without.
