Thanks for the suggestions. The hibernation system I never thought
of. The system restore I'm not so keen on as it is not really geared
towards that type of activity. Also system restore IIRC, is slow and
not bulletproof. I am still wondering if there is a hibernation like
utilty that is not dependent on windows and also would work on a full
shutdown/restart of the system. Perhaps Norton/Symantec you are
listening to this? Maybe a utility money making opportunity is here
for you.

Hardly.

I've read literally thousands of threads here since XP was first
released. Yours is the first to ask for this.

So there is a utility out there (other than the windows hibernate) or
there isn't? I would
think that if such a utility existed, people would pay money for it.

If it were Symantec, it would be simple, all it would have to do is
every time you boot up Windows, load three windows:
1) Live update
2) "Running out of space on drive C:"
3) "Out Of Memory"

Since that's all PC's with Symantec software can do before grinding to
a halt, they won't actually have to use code anything new!

You said that already.

And by inference, I called you a moron.

LOL! I think that Symantec's software quality has gone downhill in a
hurry.
Norton Ghost versions 10 and 12 have created several corrupt recovery
points
for me. I only hope I can somehow fix these recovery points.

Not just recently, either. For *years*.
Although (I'll admit) Partition Magic works fine for me, but that's about
all I would let on my system these days (from Symantec/Norton).

And almost since the DOS days, for anyone in here old enough to remember.

Norton Utilities (for DOS) was pretty good. Then Norton starting going
downhill, and really fast after the Win95 era, give or take. By the time
of the Win98, or the Win98SE era, Norton's products were already getting a
bit "iffy". And as I recall, that's about when when Semantec came in, and
the rest .... is (a sad) history, as they say.....
