How It Worked

Registry tweaks - one click worked, but not underline only on mouseover

No Disk Manager in Computer Management

I mistakenly left "erase the page file" checked, so shutdown is slow

I can install iTunes, but there's no QuickTime

Error when installing video drive: "Setup cannot proceed because the path is more than 88 characters"

Themes is broken

next time:

Applications: all good, no possibility of problems Drivers: all good, no possibility of problems Keyboards: all good, no possibility of problems Languages: all good, no possibility of problems Directories: all good, no possibility of problems

The damage is done in:

Hardware Support (put back) ATM Support Logical Disk Manager (why did I delete it?) Secure Digital Host Controller Sony Memory Stick Toshiba PCI IDE Controller Multimedia put back OpenGL Support Network Operating System Options Certificate Management Services Network Provisioning
