Just to let all of AQ and the letterboxing world know...

My computer had a major meltdown yesterday!!
Nothing worked. Nothing had files or programs associated with them. Windows would not finish a repair because the only form of the professional service pack 1 need to finish was not on a CD but on a floppy...and...well, long story....long aweful story!!

anyway, my computer is still not working properly but I can get online briefly. I plan to work for the next couple of days moving pics and documents onto disks for storage. Then, I honestly think I am gonna have to wipe windows out and start fresh. Right now there are 2 seperate instances of windows on the computer. That was the only way to get on an d retrieve my priceless photos etc.

please say a little computer prayer for me :0) If I loose my pictures I am gonna flip my lid !!

well, anyway...I have LB obligations so if my computer fails to let me online I will do all i can to make trips to the university library to keep up and keep in touch.

ps. to those brainy computer people out there...

any ideas about how to fix my dilemna of 2 OS etc??
everytime i boot i get a screen with a choice of which OS to use...both choices are of Windows XP Professional but one is the old one that lost all it's file associations etc. and one is the new one that looks fresh and new but looks can be deceiving i think. I think it is not running properly and of course files are getting mixed up...not too mention there is almost no free space compared to what it should be.
YUCK!!
