Gosh darn it! I take my desktop in to be fixed, for what I think is a small registry problem.... and what do I get - the dreaded "do you have all your original software" question. ARRRRRGGGGHHHH! Okay, I guess my stupid desktop is pissed at all the loving attention I've been paying to my laptop - but I've been surfing at home on the desktop!
It decided that it HATED being disconnected for the fire evacuation and stuck in my car for a almost a week. When hooked back up, not only did the monitor flake out, but I got an error message and funky not working icons. AOL worked, and I could get to other things with a bit of fiddling, but I couldn't do much and finally took it in.
Now, the repair guy wants to wipe the drive and re-install everything. Which means digging out the original disks... from 4 years ago. Oy viey. I have NO idea where they are. Yea, I have them.... somewhere.... :::sigh:::
