Microsoft killed my PC
Hi All,
Been 'off-line' for a few days and probably will be for a few more days.
I 'installed' service pack 3 a couple of nights ago and my PC died. It got stuck in a sort of re-boot loop with a brief glimpse of that old classic; "The Blue Screen of Death"! I couldn't even get it to start up in safe mode so that I could recover the system to a state prior to SP3.
So!... After a rather drastic system restore procedure, I'm now left with a more or less virgin installation, I've lost everything. Hundreds of website fave's, emails, music files, photos, everything. All gone! I don't even have any email addy's in my address book anymore!
I'm going to be kind of busy for a while reinstalling tons of programs, downloading a gazillion updates, and trying to see how much of the 100 gig or so of lost data I can recover. Oh the joy!
Anyone else had any problems with SP3 by any chance?
Cheers,
Mike.
