So far nothing has worked - I have a feeling we are headed to a fresh intallation of Windows XP along with attempts to recover as many files as possible. I do back up my Quicken and my Mastercook, but there are quite a few files we have not been good about backing up. You can be sure that we will be creating system backups on a regular basis after this. But why does it always take something like this to get us to do it????Anyway, if you ever have a computer problem, especially virus or software problems, the folks are Tweak XP are awesome. I usually donate to these forums when they help me out, but I can't find a place to do that. Maybe Allan would accept a homemade batch of brownies instead?
I recently got an external hard drive, one of the little ones in physical size but something like 200G, and now back up My Documents nearly every night, the whole c drive every week. It takes way longer than you'd think, to back up, but I just set it at night to let it chug away.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea - I'll definitely look into getting an external drive.
