Sorry about the lack of updates. I had so much stuff I wanted to upload over the weekend but my f*cking computer decided to not work anymore. I don't know when I'll be back online. But I hope very soon.... (at least I can go online at the office!)

Poor girl! That's bad. Hope you'll be able to fix it soon! I would be completely lost since I'm not very fond of computers. At least I can handle it somehow...

Sweet to say that, Jenny. But this really sucks. I cannot do anything about it - this is what annoys me most. I gave it to my boss who will be so kind to hopefully fix it...

That's bad news. What happened to it? Is it a hardware or software thing?

What happened to it? Is it a hardware or software thing? If I would only know. I deinstalled an old version of Norton System works because the virus updates were not longer available. I downloaded AntiVir Personal addition (cause it's free and said to be good programme). The programme scanned my computer, said it had to restart the systems to really erase all of the 19 infected files. This worked fine. I switched the computer off and went to bed. Next afternoon I switched this thing on and ....NOTHING! I cannot even go into safe modus because it won't let me. there's now a black screen, the curser blinks and that's about it. Ah, and some letters that appear all over the screen. Really weired and scary. My boss got nearly the same system as me. So he's trying all components on his own computer and hopefully finds the thing that prevents my beloved computer from working.... On the other hand: You have time without our computer. I actually read one whole book that weekend!

Uh, that sounds really bad! I do have AntiVir as well on my computer and it works properly for years now. And pressing F8 when the system is booting doesn't work either?

No, that doesn't work as well. I hit that buttom so often during the last couple of days - I lost count! So no way to save all the files at the moment. God bless my boss who did an image with Ghost when he installed my new hard drive last month. So it's not that much that gets lost if you put it back to that state. *sigh* What was the saying? "never change a running system!"

Awww Brigitte (huggles)
I know what it's like to live without your computer and it does kinda feel like your missing a limb or something doesn't it? (It did for me coz I spend a lot of time on it before anybody critises me for saying that lol). I know what you mean though never change something that works how true..................

Thanks to you all. But still it's not running. But it's in good hands and I am very optimistic that everything will work out fine !

Um, that answered my question in the general section. At least you can go online at work. Btw wich book were you reading when the computer resigned?

You say it! I could scream all the time. It's my hard disc but I should be online again tomorrow evening (if the Ghost image will work). I still lost a lot of files because that image is about 2 months old. The hard disc is only 2 months old. What a shame! And I have sooooo much to upload to the site that I will probably spend the whole Saturday being up-to-date again....
