Keldyn Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 once a month for my main workstation. Heh i just love that "fresh" install feel. :D Watching the progress bar is very therapeutic. :cheeky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahodes1 Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 About once a week, but not because I want to.. experimenting preparing for MCP Win2k Server exam... my other PC's well every couple months usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrZoidberg Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Usually about once a month, when it gets clogged up with crap and stuff I don't need any more. Just re-installed this Thursday gone :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dfx Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 When the crap is too much, about once a month :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dclanz Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Since I've gotten XP I reinstall less and less. I usually d/l new programs to check em out and so I clean install at least once a month for that fresh feeling.:ditsy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 With Windows Me is usually stops working after a month. That's why I'm gonna get WinXP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake_old Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 ? Usually once every one or two weeks depending how quickly I mess things up with xp pro.:DD Thankfully I keep a recent ghost of c drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palom Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Usually every other month, if not sooner when I get a new piece of hardware. I've formatted my hard drive so many times, I can generally get my system back up to 100% working order in about 2 hours. I can definitely see stability issues when I let things go for too long.

vf- Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 format when i need to trying to run XP Professional as long as possible so far this install since October 24th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I don't reinstall anymore... I have Norton Ghost 2002, and the first time I installed XP Pro OEM, I made an image right after I activated Windows. Now all I have to do is: 1. Wait for my backup program to backup all files 2. After backup is complete, I put in my Ghost Floppy 3. I then restore "image to disk" I then have 1 clean/perfect/new install of XP in about 3 minutes. :D w00t! Ghost is God! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 i make images every week cause i always find somethin to fiddle around with that makes my system better the image after a fresh install is a good idea cept for when you get a new computer ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
