Computer = evil!

After several hours of talking with Tech Support people, I finally had to wipe and restore my computer.

I am not terribly happy about that, but since the errors were interferring in the job hunt, I had to do it.

Now I get to spend several days getting back my bookmarks, reinstalling my programs, and generally futzing around and screaming at the monitor.

What fun...

I just sent my laptop for repair. Even with overnight mail, and warranty, it will be 2 weeks before I see it again. I want to cry. *sob*

It wasn't fun, but what's really annoying is that Tech Support sends you trying twelve different things before they tell you to wipe the hard drive. I could have done that to start with... :P

Mine, I knew it was a hardware program. I could hear the noise, but still spent a few hours trying this and that. Blah.

ugh... I'm sorry. I had that happen to me and it was utter nightmare. I hope it doesn't drive you too crazy. HUGS

Well, maybe this time round my digital camera software will install correctly.
