techrecoveryI'm trying to uninstall tons of stuff on my computer, but some of it says things like "cannot find uinstall.whatever" and I just want to remove it all from my cpu so I can upgrade to Windows XP (im using my windows xp now while im trying to get my other computer to work, heh.) anyway, its becoming annoying and the computer place around here kinda overprices so i dont wanna take it in. my cousin works with computers but i see him in july and i dont wanna wait that long to upgrade, and he might not becoming to my house, we may go to his. (and ill feel kinda stupid bringing my computer there ;) anyway, maybe you guys know what to do?
ahh, helllllp. i neeed xp!
pretty much is there a program out there that deletes a whole bunch of stuff? when i put the reboot cd in (to clear the WHOLE computer) it freezes. so urghhhh. help.
