| | | Haha I think i have found the culprit of the majority of
| | my problems turns out my compuiter has contracted a
| | virus. I didnt find it till a little while ago when my
| | nortan systemworks 2k would not open so i reinstalled it
| | and the first thing it found with the new virus
| | definition files was a virus... It must have infected my
| | nortan beace i update my virus defs every morning.
| | Unfortunatly i think this virus has been corrupting and
| | destroying files since close to day 1 of my xp install. I
| | think i may just end up reformatting again ( dear god!)
| | but that would be better than something getting damaged.
| | im gonna search around for some cleaning instructions. I
| | cant remember the name off the top of my head something
| | parite something not sure.
| |
| | Well off to fight viruses hope to write again if not,
| | assume my computer overheated and melted down causing a
| | thermonuclear explosion that wiped out my city!!
| |
| | PEACE OUT :|
