• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I may be offline for a few days, I seemed to have messed up my Operating system, and may have to reload it all..
I placed a new fix everything program on this yesterday, program that has TRASHED my computer..
I should not have loaded this or ran it. Now I am having problems with this machine.. I have done a system restore but I still am not running properly..
I am going to place my flight sim programs on a second hard drive and reload the operating system..To save it all..
it will take me a few days to reload everything thing..
Perhaps a week of reloading before I get this Monster working correctly again..
Lots to sort out and save to a second hard drive and start over..
I should have left well enough alone..
Live and learn..
 
Hobbit,
Stay away from those "fix everything" programs, they often cause more problems than they fix. There are more than enough computer-savvy folks here at SOH to answer questions and provide trouble-shooting help when the need arises. :)

I have reloaded my OS, 18+ hours to get it set back up..Stayed up all night correcting My Fix..RATS..
And I should have known better..From Now on if I need help I Will come to Our Masters here.. Not some fix everything program..
Learned a good lesson, if it ain't broke DON'T fix it..
 
Must be that time of year, I just had to restore my OS.

Funny how it died, shut it down in the evening and the next day when I restarted it all my desktop icons were gone. I tried a restart and got a black screen with the message "NTLDR is missing" and it wouldn't even boot.

Don't have any idea what made "NTLDR" go away, but my wife (our local IT guru) got it to boot but nothing would run. Luckily my FS stuff was on another HD. A weird thing is most programs were still there but couldn't run, but my "My Documents" folder was empty, lost a bunch of mp3's, photos, screenshots, recent downloads, and misc junk like that.

Had to bite the bullet and do a system restore, still getting things sorted out and configured to my liking.
