My computer hates me

Help please?

This thing has gone bat-**** crazy on me. It's not enough that I have to regularly uninstall and then reinstall my modem drivers and AOL (which is what I swear is the cause of all this grief), but half the time it won't do it properly, won't even shut down correctly, and I just went to use the scanner so I could stick a pic of Impactor in the Transfest compo wotsit, and that's buggered six ways to Sunday as well-all these weird error messages, and an insistance that the scanner isn't connected that not even uninstalling and reinstalling won't shift. System restore is next to ******* useless as well, so all in all I'm a bit buggered unless anyone has some magical solutions for me?

EDIT: Now Firefox won't work as well.

I can't help you with that, just wanted to say that my computer hates me too.

I was sitting at work, turned around, turned back, and got a blue screen. Then it wouldn't start up anymore!

Called the nice IT guys, and they found out that my hard drive had broken down, beyond repair.

They are ordering a new hard drive, which will hopefully solve everything. Luckily everything was stored on the server and I only lost my templates and my bookmarks, I think.

And I didn't even touch the computer!

Good luck with yours though

Thanks Eline.

Karl-haven't received your email yet, which either means you had something else come up, or (knowing me) I probably screwed up my email address when I sent it.

The poetic irony is almost choking

You've been sending out to many of those "karlswang.jpg" pics?

Seriously, why the blacklisting? AOL seems insane.
