I know this is off the VFP subject, but I searched the MS Knowledgebase and didn't find the answer I was looking for.

Someone called me almost in tears.

They loaded Windows 3.1 over the top of Windows 95 in error. I found this out after troubleshooting their Windows 95 problem over the phone for about an hour.

They told me when they called that they had only loaded Word for Windows in error. They forgot to mention that they had installed Windows 3.1 also. Yikes!!!

I told them to copy their personal documents to floppies and then reinstall Windows 95. Does anybody know an easier solution? Of course, I will have to show them how to copy files in DOS mode and change directories and all that good stuff.

And of course they have no backup. Backup? Did someone say backup? What's that? LOL!
