A nice little story of my computer f***ing up on me... Last night, before i go to bed, my computer is running fine, everything is happy. Today, i come in, my computer's off, and i start it up only to find that XP for some reason, decided it doesn't want to let me log in... I type my password etc... and it goes "Logging In" i hear the log in sound, and IMMEDIATELY, i see Logging off.... Saving your settings.... and then i hear the log off sound... I try this for ALL USERS (even the Safe Mode Administrator, and it doesnt work.) (by now im pissed, cause there is only 1 copy of a file i need on the comp) so i go to my computer's system restore (manufacturer's restore (cause thankfully my comp came w/ a recovery par!@#$%^&*ion), not windows) and i choose "Keep user files (non-factory-reset setting)" so it does its thing, i come back in about 30 min, to restart it, comp restarts, wait another 20 min on the screen "Please wait while XP prepares to start..........................................." then another 10 min on the Windows XP boot screen then after loggin in, 30 minutes for XP to reinstall all the old hardware that is attached. (what i did while waiting -> ) AND THEN I FIND THAT IT "ERASED" Microsoft Office.... and now im super pissed cause i need Word for the do!@#$%^&*ent i have. And i also find that all the programs that required the serial codes to activate, require activation again (Macromedia Flash)... im about to pull all the hair out of my head.... Please let me know if you have had any problems like this with XP...... god i hate windows...
