I'm really hoping someone here can help because this has been vexing me for quite some time now.
I've got a fully licensed version of Windows XP SP3 on my box. A few months ago, my wife accidentally downloaded a nasty virus which managed to mess up our computer (no anti virus software could remove it - it just kept replicating in the registry). I re-formatted the drive and re-installed the OS based on the downloaded SP2 files and created a new boot disk. I choose to set up two accounts during the install and since the install I haven't been able to save some personal settings (like custom sounds, for example. If I pick a custom sound for login, it plays when my wife logins in, too. If I set the speakers to 'No Speakers', it changes it back to 7.1 Home Theatre Speakers although I've never selected that myself).
I did see this thread (Unable to save any settings on Windows XP) and deleted all instances of the NoSaveSetting from my registry, but no luck. I did buy Norton Utilities after the nasty virus incident but I've also tried turning off the Registry Monitor but still no luck.
Can anyone help?
