Since you all haven't heard from me in awhile here's lots of stuff has been happening. My old desktop computer became severely infected with viruses and stuff... I'll tell you the whole story.

What got me in trouble...
Okay, I like to download a lot of stuff when it comes to add-ons for games like characters, stages, trucks, or anything like those, and I like to download programs such as plug-ins & effects for applications like movies or music, My Mom warned me about downloading and told me how to be careful. She warned me about the sites I was going to and which ones to avoid. Plain & simple--I didn't listen to her AND I didn't keep my virus definitions updated either (don't know how and I'm embarrassed to ask for help about such things).

That's what got me in trouble!
On the 28th in September, I had 71 bad viruses! My desktop computer is almost 10 years old since Windows ME and my mom has ALWAYS been able to get rid of whatever I would catch. It took her almost 4 weeks of working in all her spare time and was able to get rid of all of them except for one THAT WAS MORE STUBBORN THAN ME!
That one stupid virus remains.

One afternoon the virus prevented me from logging on as "myself", so Mom gets me on but only in safe mode only.

Then somehow it become totally unstable and was repeating in a loop of restarting.
I could not do Safe Mode anymore or logon as myself!

So my Mom did the dirty installation of Windows ME, now C drive is the slave drive, and D is now the primary drive.

She was able to rescue all of the files on D and put them on my 500 GB "My Book" external drive, but alas--I wasn't able to rescue the ones from C because the stupid virus CORRUPTED my partitions on that drive (this is stuff Mama said)!

But now Mom is going to try one last time, one last thing, some special software that MIGHT recover files from my C drive. Thank God I didn't loose any of my Movie Maker project files, pictures, MTM2 pods or any of them on D!

I feel really bad, my stupid downloading habit got me into this heap of trouble! I never felt such guilt.

I now know what a spanking from God feels like, it was horrible!

Why didn't I listen in THE FIRST PLACE?!?!


Here's the GOOD that came from all this mess...
During all this waiting someone in my family bought my Mom a brand new laptop of her choice with Windows 7 on it! And she gave me her Lenovo laptop (it was her first laptop!) that she bought just 7 months ago (her desktop computer was also almost 10 years old)!! It's a tough workhorse and very durable and ARMED with LOADS of virus & malware protection in place! She special ordered it downgraded from Vista Home Premium to XP Professional SP 3 and it has almost never gave her a single problem!!
But I HAD to wait 30 days during the time she was repairing my desktop to think about what I had done... It's such a curse to be that addicted to my desktop computer BUT I BROKE FREE of that addiction thanks to Mama and God.
Then I got her laptop and it took me 3 days to get our files transfers and 2 more days to get it set up... On November 5th it was all mine!!!!! I've never had a laptop before and always wanted one of my own because of the freedom. I can use it anywhere, anytime, all I want BUT I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON! I promise not to make the same mistake twice! It's still hard for me to limit the amount of time I want to spend on my new laptop but I'm still learning--I know I can do it!
