I run style XP.

Although if I remember correctly, it stops working with SP2. There is a post SP2 version.

Yea do install SP2. http://www.geekgirls.com/windowsxp_slipstream.htm seems to tell you the same way I did it (nice url...) but I think theirs a utility to automate the process somewhere.

You need to take ownership of the old 'My Documents' folder.

Right click the folder > Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner

Select your current user from the list of users in the dialog box. They click 'apply'. Can take a few minutes to overwrite the security, but afterwords you'll have full access again.
Only if he's on Pro. that can't be done on home to my knowledge.

On Home you need to be in safe mode for it to work iirc.

Edit: Fuck. Note to self - read entire thread then reply.

I'm a sysadmin and know so. Installed SP2 on about 50+ existing installs without so much as a hiccup.

His crash is because of something that has modified the OS, no bones about it.

We can agree on this one. I've gota a friend who has rolled it out to his 2,000+ PC network over the last month with no issues at all. I've rolled it out to both my networks via Software Update Services and haven't had a single issue either. Nobody I know other than people online have experienced issues with it.

Bizzare apps installed or dodgy drivers are the two things which will bork an upgrade. Saying that a reinstall is required is unfounded and isn't close to what 75% of admins in N.America are saying.

Bullshit. You're claiming to have been an IT pro since you were 10 years old if that was the case since you're 22 now. At least make your lies believable man :icon19: .

People install all kinds of warez and shit on their systems, and then they cry when a patch breaks something. lol

Thats not what you implied. You've worked on computers and repaired yours (or your parents) when it broke for twelve years. Thats a very different thing than fixing, building, of maintaining PCs professionally for that long.

I know more than a few desktop or network techs who work in this field (some recently having gotten into it) who would strongly disagree. A professional fix requires customer service, speed, accuracy and the ability to leave the customer feeling as if their money has been well-spent. A home fix lets you take however long you want, fuck up and not have anybody know it, and not near the requirement for service. Some of the concepts are the same but the task itself is quite different.

As for length of time in this field that doesn't necessarily mean a lot. Last month I canned a "dekstop tech" who has supposedly been in this field "fixing" computers for over 20 years. The problem was he didn't know a damned thing about troubleshooting, the technical underpinnings of an OS, or getting a task done on time. I've since hired a replacement with 2 years experience who runs circles around his predecessor simply because hes worked hard to learn every single thing that he can in that shorter time.
