I lost the data I had on the computer, which was very little because I had everything on Google or Flickr, and had to reload all the software, but I did not have to replace the computer. Consensus among IT acquaintances was that it was caused by some kind of worm or malware.

They come with a system restore button which is really handy.<br /><br />Wish I could just come over and fix yours for you. (Or tell you it's a hardware error and help you find a good, inexpensive new one.)<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />SCirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-71439579077392588222009-09-04T06:10:54.562-05:002009-09-04T06:10:54.562-05:00We all offer our sympathy and there's a mass m...We all offer our sympathy and there's a mass meditation going on tp produce some sort of good outcome to all this.jim reedhttp://www.reedwrites.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-40789972296262283992009-09-04T02:16:35.121-05:002009-09-04T02:16:35.121-05:00Sorry, I can't offer much advice that hasn'...Sorry, I can't offer much advice that hasn't been offered already, just my sympathies.

It's pretty long winded but ultimately worth it (especially given my own lackadaisical approach to backups).<br /><br />http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545Steve Jefferyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03287835351401045468noreply@blogger.com
