If your system denies to run due to an error corresponding to lost HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can fix this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then launch "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Run "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot Regards, Carl Hello Everybody

On smaller sites, such as this one, I do not have CAPTCHA - Wordpress's Akismet spam filter catches about 99% of the spam that people submit, and I just delete the rest manually. As a site becomes popular, you get more and more spammers and that 1% can be a significant number. CAPTCH algorithms can be set to also use audio, for those who are blind.

The images are not easy for their braille readers to interpret. I have made great success against the spammers by modifying my forums using php. I have added logging and reject users based on IP and other criteria I have found to be common to spammers. I would always think twice about using CAPTCHA.
