    Well - I had to restore my computer today because SOMEBODY (the one who set the password...((Not me)) ) forgot the password xD.

    My question is - why is it stuck on Nero 6.3 (2004 edition) installation for so long? 20 minutes for a 30 MB average program? That ain't normal IMO.

    In the standby bar (yellow), I hardly see any flickers either. -__-

    Help me D:

    You're question is confusing.

    you didnt really have to restore xp...all you really had to do was reboot in safe mode, log in as the admin and go to the users and delete the password of the user who forgot his password
    =D, i have had to do this myself a couple of times
