You may also just want to save and re-use the folder c:\ado (unless 
perhaps it has gotten corrupted).  I periodically copy c:\ado from 
one machine to another so that Stata has the same programs on 
different machines.  You just have to be careful that any 
personalized settings in profile.do will work ok on different 
machines, e.g. if you are assigning drivel letters and paths to Stata 
directories.
