Goddamn Mo Fo Windo(s)
imagine my surprise when windows crashed properly and irrecoveralby on me...
imagine my fruther surprise when after a windows (so called) reinstall, my modem wouldn't show up when i wanted to connect to the net (even tho
device manager said it was working fine)
imagine my joy to find out of the local repair shop it was a known problem with XP, and the only thing i could do was to format my hard drive and
start from fresh
the only thing i'm glad of is if i had taken my PC to them it would cost me £45+vat to format and reinstall
problem solved, but i'm not happy
Please feel free in advance to: correct, update, ridicule or laugh and point at any comments made by myself in this post....

That sounds supiciously like the blaster virus. So that it doesn't happen again, I'd recomend you get fully service packed up, get your
virus scanner up to date, and get the security patch from MS.
