TSGL: More Vista SP1 Issues??

[Lee Bunyard]

Don, you're exactly right.  Hadn't thought about System Restore but I 
just checked to see how many System Restore points I currently have and 
ALL points prior to 3/19 (the date I did the SP1 installation and 
uninstallation) are gone;  i.e.,  I have System Restore points ONLY from 
3/19 forward.   I remember I checked System Restore a week or so ago for 
some reason or the other and I know I had System Restore points going 
back several months.  I'm sure that this probably accounts for much if 
not most of the additional HDD free space I suddenly have.  I'm still 
concerned about the Nvidia drivers issue I raised in a prior email I 
posted earlier this a.m.  I need to find out how I can determine whether 
the Nvidia drivers have really been deleted.  Any ideas on that??  
Thanks for your input, this makes me feel lots better.  I guess the only 
thing I have to be a tad concerned about is to hope that I don't have a 
system problem in the next few weeks that needs a System Restore point 
prior to 3/19.  I always have my Acronis True Image backup if needed.
