I've just spent bits and pieces of last week and nearly all of yesterday trying to get my computer going again.
Last week I downloaded a whole bunch of updates for Windows, and when I restarted after installing, Windows wouldn't start up again.
So after trying to solve the problem for a few nights (printing possible solution sheets from work and taking them home), I gave up, and decided to format the drive that Windows was on. First I had to back up as much as possible onto a friend's drive, having to pick through what was important, and what wasn't, as I couldn't back up everything.
Now Windows has been reinstalled, I am going through the process of installing all of the programs that I need again, which also means I've had to chase down some of the programs from the web.
Fun! Fun!
Anyone else had some home PC adventures like this recently?
