| | Clean Install of Vista Home Premium I'm having problems with some 3rd party software and have gone as far as reinstalling Vista Home Premium. I did a clean install and have a question: Does a clean install completely replace the registry? If so does anything linger from the old registry lingers into the new one? Thanks much, James |
