Rossco when I first learned computers , I would delete a file then wonder why things didn&#39;t work. My mentor called me the Bonzi kid . No fear &#33;

There is no need to go overboard with xp lite.

In regard to the indexing service I would just disable it rather than remove it completely. I never liked the built in search with xp and it never seemed any faster with indexing enabled.

ooohkay now i remember -
goto add remove progrms - then - addremove windows components-unmark indexing
yes i removed it long time ago - no problems after some months
i did it because of some speed up tweak from one of sharedholders sites.

I know it is unneeded, but recently i started to replace all mirosoft crap (apart from teh OS and explorer) so i thought i&#39;d also remove the old stuff. I had problems after uninstalling windows media player, so had to put it back on

indexing is gone, computer works, im happy.

never works for me that way, i&#39;ve tried it way back, and tried it again today, doesn&#39;t work. Always asks me for a disc called "Messenger"...i can&#39;t figure out what disc it wants, i&#39;ve tried my XP discs, tried my security update cd.

Oh well, don&#39;t bother answering, i don&#39;t need it anymore.

Why even use the crap if you have to butcher it up before it&#39;s ready for "good" use? Get a good distro of Linux and it will probably work well right out the box.
