Just wanted to share my new experience. If your system denies to run due to an error corresponding to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Simply boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Launch "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot Regards, Carl Hi Folks!

Yes I did, and I actually had no problems with the forums I frequent, although yes I'm not a huge forum user so I may not have tried it with as many as you. It worked fine for me though. @Roman. Yes that's very true, i dont think they will either. However in my experience lifting up a year old forum topic, (even a month old) isnt usually too popular. @Matt.

In my opinion it tries to do what RSS already does better. But since I am the "making-own-software-cause-avaible-sucks-for-my-needs" stage of RSS fondness - other people might like subject more.

Web Forum Reader's homepage does not display the differences between the two versions they propose, or they hide it well. They've lost my concern, I intend no more to spend 20 minutes searching for information which should be obvious and immediately accessible.

However, it didn't work consistently with all forums and in some cases, was complex to get an exact view of the forum reliably displayed. Updating was also sometimes sporadic. Perhaps it is working better now. I thought this was a great idea when I tried an earlier release months ago.
