about 10 months (my windows folder is dated 6/8/02)
I am getting ready for a reload in the next month though. my XP has been acting kinda odd lately.:flame:
This weekend just gone... I screwed up royally (note to self: don't copy the user profile into the C:\Documents and Settings root when you really meant to copy them to a server share - the joy of playing around with a PC at 4am when the cats get you up) :rolleyes:
I convinced myself it needed doing though, it had been about 6 months since the last trashing so I didn't feel too bad about it.
my wife insisted she install incredimail and webshots . . . . . . so I figure any day now :D
just reloaded my work lappie 2 weeks ago.
I setup Windows XP on March 13th - of last year. No reason to reinstall it yet.
Not sure if I am weird, ( Okay, but everyone else is sure! ) but I reload my operating system on all my machines once a month just to keep in practice, even my work station. Ghost would just be cheating...:rolleyes:
Last time I reloaded was 5 months ago when I got my new machine. Now I keep a backup (2nd) hard drive just in case.
It certainly make things alot easier, now rather than reload the entire program I just copy and paste!:D
It's funny you should mention that. I used to do that back when I actually knew what I was doing. Then, ever since installing Windows XP, I never have a need to. So now it's been so long that I've done anything to a PC (years), I pretty much forgot everything. That goes for hardware and software. I do still remember how to check my email and browse the web, but that's about it. And I still remember how to post at Windrivers too. :(Quote:

about 3-4 weeks ago, needed to sue to a motherboard/cpu/ram upgrade. Almost a year before that one though. It's not something i enjoy doing, to many little apps need to get installed.
I've been going bonkers lately reconfiguring my hardware. Just been loading 2000 over and over as HDD's move from machine to machine. I should have the perfect configurations soon (all the best poop goes in one machine).
wow!
who was the "over 2 years" person?
are you using an archimedes or something?
perhaps a calculator?
I reload after every trip to the range...
Ooops, sorry, wrong topic:D
Last time I did a full reload was about a year back.
Using Win98SE, haven't reloaded in about two and a half years. But I mostly use my system for playing games and downloading music, so I don't really do anything to it to mess it up.
Does a flavor of linux count? Cuase I could put a year ago (when I actually installed it) and also the same for uptime. :D :D :D
As for xp I just reinstalled because I was dual booting linux but decided to not use it on the laptop.
