Finally got my laptop back. The girlfriend finally took it with her to work and we got it back yesterday, three days letter. It’s been restored and we’re back to having Vista for our OS. I formatted this thing before and installed XP instead. I think that was what caused all of the problems in the first place. None of the drivers were really compatible with XP because the laptop was made for Vista.
Anyway… I am missing all of my files, but the person who fixed the laptop for us (for free!) backed up all of the files and will let me recover them soon enough.
I am back FB! Here I come Envoy! Wahaha!
