Computer Problems

[Richard]

I’m finally back online. I don’t really know what happened to my old computer. Everything was fine when I turned it off Tuesday. When I turned it on Wednesday it started up and then flashed some kind of warning. It was so fast that I couldn’t read it. It then restarted is disk check mode and started deleting tons of files. When it was done it tried to finishing loading but it never did. I tired restarting it a few times but it would never finish. I tried all kinds’ fixes and recoveries but nothing worked. It wouldn't even let me reinstall Windows. I ran an antivirus check and found nothing. No spyware either. icon_confused

I figured some components must be failing because I had to replace the hardrive a couple of months ago. So I decided the computer probably wasn’t worth fooling around with anymore and I decided to replace it. I was planning on getting a new one when the new Windows came out because I knew my old computer wouldn’t run it but this forced me to do it earlier. I found out this is a bad time to try and buy a computer because back-to-school students wiped out all the stores around here. After tons of running around I found a one that should do well for the next few years. :pray:

Now I have the headaches of reinstalling all my software from the old computer. It’s a double sized headache because I just went through this a couple of months ago when my old hardrive failed. icon_doh

It does seem coincidental that Karen, Monica, Weng and I have all had major computer problems recently. :think:

Anyway I’m glad to back online. :dance:

Lol I'm on myspace everyday and I'd be a little bothered if my parents checked mine out while at the same time it would be nice if they knew who I am and what I did and how I projected myself to the world. I live with them and I don't think they know much about me. They'd be surprised to read my posts on these forums. I wouldn't ever want them to read my journals though..certain ones...!!!

To those of you with the myspace pages, pm me your links if ya want!

Speaking of computer problems: Yes I also had some late last night/today. Somethings wrong with our AOL program(goodness grief? !! llol) as well as AIM(oh no its the end of my internet social world! jk). Its okay because at least I can use Internet Explorer..but still we'd need to check into whats going on.

Glad to hear you're back though and you've managed to resolve the program.

I’m not surprised that you’ve had trouble with AOL’s software. I’ve heard that it has a ton of spyware in it. The spyware removers have a committee that approves software and AOL’s software failed to be approved.
