Well some good news finally. We have all had system failures that have just hurt us immeasurably, so we learned to make back ups. However I don't believe any of use ever expected out back ups to fail. Thank GOD for redundant back ups.
Evidently at some point last monthy I copied all of my DOGA files to my second drive. I also found some important docs and even some of my music. My emails are toast, so I must beg Eniki to send me copies of my login info for ASTempire.net and what not, I have no hope that they will so I might have to find a new host.
I lost my SE V beta files so I am effectively out of that unless Aaron can help. And I lost links to important sites but nothing I hope that I cannot find again.
All in all it was my time, and I have to say that as much as I now hate Norton and MS, I hate HP more. IT was there stupid tech support that had me do a system recovery when a system restore would have worked. MS Support was helpful but very hard to understand as they too are based in India and despite the $35.00 fee to help me, I still ended up fixing the problem on my own. SP 2 is now installing and with any luck I will figure out Thunderbird and get it too work as well. Damn Qwest/MSN uses http instead of POP so that might be a problem. Plus I cannot remember any of my passwords for astempire mail so that is a real pain. Oh well, live and learn I guess.
Any who, my heart goes out to any one who ever has to deal with a nightmare situation like this. Your otherwise reliable PC crashes do to a standard XP update following the removal of Norton PC killer, and your back up CD's won't read, call me, we can co-miserate.
