Backup, backup, backup

I have told you again and again to be ready for emergencies. Well, I need to follow my own advice.

I was trying to install and uninstall some software, and something was changed. I can no longer access the internet from my desktop system. I am making this post from my backup laptop.

Heed my words of warning, make a restore point before you install or uninstall any software. You never know what it will screw up. In face, making a restore point once a week or so would be a good idea, and will be part of my system maintenance from now on.

Very limited posting until I get this problem fixed, no posting today. I'm going to try and reinstall Windows on top of itself, if that doesn't work, I'll have to wipe the drive and reinstall everything.

Wish me luck.
