I guess I should not have "restored" my computer.

Reading about the memory hogs Trend and McAfee, I decided to get rid of what I could not being much of a computer guy. So, on an HP running XP, I elected to "restore." I saw that my user info and data would be backed up but I'd have to install the software I had installed along the line. No problem, all I need is Office and a a printer. Lo and behold, I lost my templates, all my music and I haven't even looked for pics yet.

The thing is, I was using a transferred over version of Office and to install, I got a product key from MS over the phone. I can't find that, so I'm screwed there. JoeA sent me some keys, but they don't work. No biggie, but damn, that was a lot of music in iTunes. that is gone. My iPod has some of it, but not all.

So, what would have been a better way to get the speed up. BTW, it's way up.
