Re: tried to do a vista repair install - lost user settings, installed programs etc.
Hi TaZz,
Since you installed your programs on E: instead of C: , that would be why you lost all associations to them during the upgrade reinstall.
You may still be able to copy from within the C:\Windows.old folder the contents of the old C:\Users\(user name) folder to your new one, from the upgrade install, to gain back some or most of your settings.
However, like Dragor posted, you may need to reinstall the programs again for them to run properly again. You may get lucky and be able to simply just have to create new shortcuts to the exe files for some of them.
Hope this helps,
