I searched the internet and found one program called 'Hotfix backup
remover" from Doug Knox. However it didn't work (didn't show complete
backup files). I wonder whether that is because it doesn't support x64
or it is unregistered.

When I try to use automatic updates with my internet explorer it tells me I
must be running IE 32-bit. However, I AM running IE 32 bit. What's going on?
Is there a way to fix this? How do I install the updates?

I had " previous version" , and "Windows" (X86)  for boot options.
After I installed x64 I had :
1."Previous version"  (legacy boot)
2."Windows"            (which was x64)

After I cleaned up my computer of uneccesary files and did a defrag my
computer is running terrible and I no longer have any restore points back to
before I made that mistake. Why can't I undo what I did or go back to the
prior month for a restore point?

I am unable to click on any drop down menus arrow without everything closing
and shutting down how can I fix it?

I have 2 questions. I currently have windows XP installed on my desktop
computer. If I install windows vista beta 2 will I lose all of my files
from XP or will they go over to vista. Also question # 2... How easy is
it to go back to windows XP from Vista if I do not like this. ...
