Due to a corruped registry, I was recently forced to reinstall
windows (without uninstalling first). I reinstalled moray after,
but when I try to start moray I get an error about OLE
initialiation failed. Several other application are also giving this error.

Does anyone know how I can fix this, or should I totally uinstall
and reinstall windows

Thanks
Gail

If you have the time, the patience and the original installation
disks/CDs/files for all of your software, this is indeed what I would
recommend.
A clean install will always save you a lot of trouble down the road,
compared to such patchy one-version-over-the-other installs.
And don't just delete the files on your disk - format it!  (but then of
course you need to backup all your userfiles :-)

That's exactly what I have planned for this weekend, I was just
in a hurry to get things working again.

... And remember your bookmarks & Adress book ! (I always forget those
when reformating !)

Good luck!
