| | Double vista Hello. I had a problem with a virus. My anti-virus deleted a file named "wininet.dll". The only way i could solve the problem was instaling again te vista. But now i have two versions of it. With the second version i repaired the first one and i want to keep it because i have all the software installed on it. How can i uninstall te second version? Sorry abou my english, and thanks for helping me. Eduardo |

| | Re: Double vista Hi, You don't "uninstall" the extra installation. You boot into the one you want to keep and delete the system folders for the one you don't want. You can then remove any extra boot entries by running msconfig from the start/search line and checking the boot tab. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Eduardo" <Eduardo@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7F5CEC7B-EE50-40AF-9BC7-126B288F2AF1@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello. > > I had a problem with a virus.
