[amibroker] Re: Attention Report Extractor users

This warning came too late for me, and the problems I am 
experiencing may not have to do with the errors caused by the Rx 
special viewer...but then again they probably do.

When I received the error (because I tried the new backtest system 
without disabling or reinstalling the original HtmlView.exe), I also 
caused some hidden and related (but unknown) file problems.  Such 
that the following are my current problems:

My email message editor (Word) hangs up.
My two Graphics programs from JASC (Paint Shop Pro and Paint Shop 
Photo Album) both hang when their Splash screens come up.  I have to 
unplug the computer to restart as the Task Manager has no effect on 
stopping the hung programs).
My PhotoShop 7 hangs upon startup.
Various other programs are very slow in start up.
But IE6 runs and I can use Outlook to read messages just not reply 
to them.

I have restored (WinXP Pro) to yesterdays automatically saved 
settings but that did not help the problem.

I suspect I am facing a reinstall of all of the programs that are 
not working....but hope to hear some words of advice if anyone has 
them.

I suspect that some program that helps certain programs to startup 
was wiped out when the error occurred with the Htmlview.exe problem.

This damn thing (the computer) is so complex--like automobiles today-
--a problem like this pops up and it is not at all easy to recover 
from it.

Sigh.....

PS:  writing this message from the yahoo group as my email editor 
does not work.

PSS: backed up entire drive as of three days ago so that is my 
fallback position....
