WAIT! I'm not through whining :-(
My life was on that computer.
I have some stuff backed up, but not all.

Evo said:I've copied a lot on CD's, and have an online backup. But there is still a lot I know I didn't backup. Yeah, I'm going to get the Nerd Herd to fix it.
Just copy it from yours to hers - but make sure you know if you deleted yours!wolram said:Never mind Evo, i will send you a bottle of life.

I know, all my <cough> pictures. Can you tell the Nerds not to look at the pictures when they restore the files? I mean, that is, if I had any such pictures, which <cough> of course I don't.Tom Mattson said:Evo, this is why I have been telling you to post all of your photos on the internet. But you would never listen to me. You just kept calling me names. Well, who's the "pervert" now Evo, huh?

Ok, and now I have The Evo Child's computer and her Norton had just expired so I renewed it. It killed my computer. It boots, the icons are on the desktop for a fraction of a second, just long enough for me to hit the IE icon before they vanish, then the destop is completely blank, not even a start button, no tool bar at the bottom, nada, zip, zilch, squat.
I have been on the phone with Norton for an hour and now they just told me that they have no idea how to fix it. They told me to call Microsoft. Well, Microsoft is going to tell me that Norton's software is hosed up and there's nothing that they can do.
I AM CURSED!
I have a headache.
I NEED SOME LOVE PEOPLE!
I can't get into safe mode, but it might be that my F8 key isn't working.Moonbear said:You should be able to start up in safe mode to get rid of Norton. But you'll have to ask one of the nerds or geeks how to do that because I can't remember which button you press while it's starting.

I guess I am just going to call the Nerd Herd tomorrow.
I tried escape, I tried F1, I tried F10, couldn't get to safe mode on any of those.binzing said:To reboot and change boot order, as well as a Safe Mode start, you can usually press Esc or f12. Try them out, and look in the manual.
I told the Evo child "bring me your keyboard". I've got some barbecued pork in those keys.Moonbear said:Well, if you hadn't spewed your coffee on it so many times, your keyboard might still work. I'm sure the Nerd Herd is going to open up your computer and immediately point at all the dried up coffee in it as the cause of all your problems.
No, this is the NEW computer, Norton killed it.binzing said:So, your doing this from the bad computer? WTF mate (End of Ze World-youtube it, its great)
Evo said:No, this is the NEW computer, Norton killed it.
The desktop is completely blank, notthing in the bar at the bottom, no "start" button, can't access anything.Moonbear said:If Norton killed it, how exactly are you posting from it?
*cuts Evo off from the Nyquil*
I gave them to my daughter, and she probably lost them.B. Elliott said:Do you have a Windows CD handy Evo?

You don't know my daughter. She left a $400 brand new vacuum cleaner in her old apartment because she didn't feel like going back for it, along with dvd players, expensive kitchen ware and appliances, linens, etc... You think she botherd to move installation cd's? She *did* move her nail polish. She *does* have priorities.B. Elliott said:Hopefully she still has it.
