Hello Everyobe, I'm Bobbi, nice to finally have something to post here
thought it's not a fun topic!
I can't believe I have not seen anything about all of the people having
serious trouble with their XP machines on other news sites yet?! My computer
an HP Pavillion Slimline s7600n was crushed yesterday and I have now been up
for 36 hours + trying to get my data out. I encounted almost every problem
mentioend here by others, freezing, crashing, issues with connection but I
liked the computer and it really wasn't that bad until a few days ago. Within
a 1/5 day time frame my PC went from fully funtional to just about useless.
The officeal "crash" happened with I was running diagnostic tools to try to
figure out where the problem was. I have multile AV and Spyware programs and
I did not have a virus cause this. bugsdI am in the process of trying to get
my data out before we try a system recovery to see if any issues will remain.
The problem is that the crash wiped out ALL of my plug n play devices and
much more so I can't even get it to burn a CD or use a jumpdrive. I am
experiements with a couple of things tonight and will post results when I get
them but any suggesstiions you can make are great.
Thois is really terrible that so many are affected! The idiots I get on the
phone at HP
call center keep asking me to do the same stupid defrags and things over and
over which is stupid because half of my files appear to be gone already! I
was actailly running the "check for errors" scan (scandisk is what it used
to be called?) and when it cycled through its reboot that was it and things
were off to wonderful start in 07 for me! My 2 monthd old PC is junk on the
first day of the year. I think I may be doomed! I am going to try to
restore but I believe I would be happier and have more peice of mind with a
new unit.
What do all of you think about how many folks are dealing with this?? Is is
the updates, is it MS Defender in particlar, or is a major virus with a majpr
path of destruction?
