When was the last time you reinstalled windows?

[Shawn]

If you don't know you can find out by opening command prompt and entering "systeminfo".

For me:

Original Install Date: 6/15/2005, 2:40:49 AM

Not even a year and my install is already getting pretty slow. And no I don't have any spyware, adware, malware, viruses, or trogans. I do have around 80 programs listed in my start menu alone though. It's a shame window's registry gets cluttered up so easily. I was going to format but I decided to wait until Vista came out. But now that it's not comming out until 2007 I don't know if this install can wait that long.

WTF I don't remember messing with it on Christmas.

I reinstall at least every two weeks. Sometimes a few times a week. Depending if there is a Windows Vista beta drop.

I re ghosted from an image I made on June 4th of 05, if that counts.

Nor on my Windows XP Home system. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?

I try to do it every month, i'm just late this time.

I have a cd i just pop in and it isntalls everything with every program i use, and my UI settings.
