Vista - RE: Changes not kept after restart with a TWIST!

01-06-2008

Well, msconfig was no help. It did not matter what I did (except boot in
safe mode/networking) I had the same problems. Even starting in just
diagnostic mode with everything disabled didn't work. I cannot figure out
what is not allowing them to work or what is making it not work whichever,
lol.

Unfortunately, restore points won't work, they don't go back far enough to
affect either Flash or the other files. I haven't tried the other repair
option yet, that is my next step. Wish me luck!

Thanks for trying to help, I really appreciate it.
