Hi Sorry to hijack this post but i have been advised to re-install my o/s and am concerned about losing some important stuff on my laptop.My main concerns are photos that i have also my IE favourites and also my settings and drivers for my wireless printer which was a real pain to set up in the first place.Any advice on how i can easily back these up would helpful bearing in mind i'm not very techy and would need guiding through the process. Many Thanks WW.

No probs, just make a new thread next time, even if theres one with a similar problem. A mod might split this into a new thread actually.
Photos can be put on any removable storage like CDs, flash drives, DVDs or transferred to another computer.
This page explains how to back up favourites in IE. Once you have your folder out it can be put in the same place as the photos.
As far as I am aware, theres not much that can be done about the drivers and settings for the wireless printer. You'll likely have to set it up again afterwards.
Before you do anything though, please post the make and model of your laptop, as well as the wireless printer as well as any more concerns you might have.
