    My Computer Blew Up!

    Really, I restarted it and heard a snap, crackle and pop. My hard drive went out hard with no warning.

    Had to do a fresh install using the slipstream technique of adding sp3 and burning a bootable CD. So far I have recovered a lot from my back hard drive.

    I had to do a lot of work arounds just to get my computer up and running again.

    That Windows Genuine Validation is a bitch.

          I'm lucky because in over 10 years of owning computers I've never had any hardware problems.

                      I'm about to try a reinstall if other things don't work this evening on my desktop. Fucking things went into screen saver, and wouldn't come back. Now I can't boot vista into regular mode only safemode. So i'm troubleshooting through there. So fun lol

                                  Already got all my email back and ICQ history. I also managed to save my StatsRemote. That would have been a pain in the ass to add all my affiliates again.

                                          Do this.... Slipstream SP3 on the Windoxs XP Installation Disc

                                          Works beautifully.

                                              I figured out my problem, my nvidia video card drivers for some reason. Worked fine once I deleted them, but came right back when I installed the newest ones. Time to find a fix
