hhhmmmmmmm, I smell geek...
j/k:cool:

WOW!:D :D :D :

Thank you all for your help...if I read computer lingo I just might know what it all means! I suppose it's fairly obvious that I SHOULD pay someone to fix it for me...we decided that we'll take it to Future Shop to be repaired when I tried to read my BF the posts you all left for me. We were both sitting here, looking stunned and totally confused!:confused:

>Mudsliptones...you are such a dear! Thanks so much for taking the time to go into such detail for me. Now if I only understood what "partition" and the rest of that jargon meant! I really appreciate your time doing that.

Anyhow...thanks everyone. Some things are better left alone when you're as computer-illiterate as I am.:rolleyes:

First you insert you're operatins system cd or boot disk. Then restart in dos mode or just restart.

When prompted make it look like this

A:/format C:

All data on all non removable disk will be removed
y/n.

Put y

it will go over it

next step

A: D:

D: setup

It will walk you through the rest. Then you reinstall your video/sound/Ethernet drivers.

Then congrats. But chances are you will fuck up and wreck something. Sinse you probably look at alot of "pr0n"

I suggest just fixing it.

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp you will be prompted with a screen click "yes"

Then check mark everything and click scan.

I then suggest getting spybot.

Install this then click scan now. Update it to congrats fixed

:rolleyes:

Where were all you helpful guys 3 months ago?
I guess you all were out there but I couldn't get to you.
Three months ago I couldn't turn on the computer in the library--someone gave me one with a dead hard drive--somehow by reading the instructions, I managed to install a new, larger hard drive, install a modem, install more memory, and download drivers for a scanner and several other things.
If you've ever looked at my profile you notice that I am an electrician--That has nothing to do with electronics--and that I am old--I even managed to upload a photograph.
This may seem to have nothing to do with HORROR, but it did when I was doing it.
Thanks, guys, for being here.
Juan.

Always the condescening little shit, aren't we, theory?

Sorry?
 

Sorry, but wasn't that a bit vitrolic?
