Ok, this last weekend I spent 20+ hours formatting and reinstalling XP, installing updated apps, drivers, work programs, games, etc... and creating a new set of images for my DT1 machine. Basically a bare-metal reset.
So I have one question. Does it break anything :) TL |

TL, "Mark" your machine - create a restore point and restart - create another restore point and reboot again. Then install WMP 11. Follow this pattern for any install. If any install tanks your system, simply use the first of the two points to restore your machine. I have never seen a system fail - no matter how jacked an install went, that was managed by a user in this way.
Also, if your machine ever does become so unstable that you cannot fix it, go into the recovery console and "IF" necessary, perform a parallel install - and even in cases where your system is so hosed that it cannot find a suitable location, or it cannot read files from say an optical drive, hit a Shift+F10 and a command console will open durning the install process and allow you to specify where to read from. Again, I have never seen a Windows system that was hosed logically, that could not be recovered. Once done with a repair, or parallel install, perform all your updates and remove old the version(s) from the boot.ini file and you'll be all set. It can save you many painful and frustrating hours. So far, WMP 11 has been just fine - though many are howling over DRM - in general |

| TL: After a clean install like yours one should clone or image the drive. Test away! I expect Windows to break. One can be ready again in less than an hour with the backup image or clone, which of couse shoudl be cloned back to the main drive. Or, be happy that nothing broke after testing. |

Funny thing, I did a "clean" reinstall of XP as well on my main home machine recently as well.
The WMP 11 "upgrade" seems to have gone fine as well. |

Bob, as indicated in my original post, i did create images. I actually create 3 separate sets at strategic points along the way.
1. Green Board - All drivers installed, all updates installed, Device Manager Clear. 2. Apps installed. 3. Games installed. Image comes after each phase. I use Acronis, and also set up SecureZones. TL |
