I knew it was coming. My laptop was getting slower and slower. Born in 2006, I had re-installed Windows twice in the past three years. I knew it needed a major overhaul but who wants to take the time involved in re-installing Windows. Ugh!!
So this weekend it kept freezing and Tuesday I came home to this message:
ERROR LOADING OPERATING SYSTEM>
No, no, no!!!!
So I decided to re-install Windows once again. Unfortunately, it also reformatted my hard drive so I've lost everything from 2011. (I don't save much to my hard drive since I have an external TB drive.)
The good news: Since my laptop is reformatted its a blank slate so it should run much better. The bad news: I will have no idea what I lost until I need it and that sucks!!!
Oh well, it will take me a few days to get all my programs re-installed and the pictures I had for a few reviews will have to be re-shot so my posts I had planned are up in the air.
It could be worse. At least got it working cause I can't afford a new computer. At least I can fix it myself. And at least I'm not in school so I don't have to stress homework. Plus, I can use my Nook or my daughter's laptop to surf the web, if necessary. I also have a neglected iMac sitting in the den if worse comes to worse.
Oh no! :( I hope you get your computer working soon.
