Tune up in the olden days "housetrained" <housetrained[ at ]hotmail.com> 24.06.2007 07:08:52 If I remember correctly, before Vista we could download a tune-up called one care and it was free. Furthermore, at the end of the tune up the report would show registry errors and you could click to correct them. This paid for tune up does not mention anything about registry. Comments? -- John the West Ham fan housetrained[ at ]hotmail.com <><
