thedothatgirlSo this time last week during a clipping exercise my baby (pc) collapsed and wouldn't restart in any mode. My wonderful 'go to' guy was in Germany on business so he tried, bless him , to talk me through fixes involving Kapersky rescue disks and what not. He's got the patience of a saint I should add A couple of trojans were found and zapped but the OS would not boot up.
I do back up but not as often as I ought.When he got back Friday we did an autopsy,mounting the hd and found the files were ok but he had to rebuild baby and put in another 2tbHD. I've been spending the rest of the time copying folders and installing every single thing I can remember. With the weirdest results. I've lost count how many times codecs have been installed/reinstalled and photoshop is still being a bitcha with scratch disks supposedly full (there's effing 2tb of clean space dammit!) The current issue to address is the streaming video /mozilla issue where I have no audio on either youtube, vimeo, viddler or any of the ning sites. A whole week just trying to get back to where I was.
At least I managed to get the website & FTP settings on the new machine. I've got a vidding round at AvA to close.
