He knows almost everything of computer. *sometimes I feel he knows too much of it*. We have experienced several serious crashes with our old computer, but everytime he can manage to get things back without actually logging in onto window system. (which is a magic to me. heheh) If you old computer can still be start to Dos model, probably he can help to find some doc back. wish I can send Ove to you.

Took me a week to get everything working again. I also have an external USB back-up hard drive. I just back up the My Documents folder - everything is in there, photos, documents, spreadsheets. Hang in there, you'll get through this soon. Yep, I went through this too recently. Took me a week to get everything working again. I also have an external USB back-up hard drive.

I can tell you that we had the same troubles when we had to get new computers to replace the stolen ones. The thing that helped us (a little for me, and more for my husband) was having external USB back-up harddrives. His is a complete copy of his entire machine, so if anything goes wrong he can go back in time to the last version that was saved on that device. Mine is more for some folders. Some of these devices come with back-up software to make things easier. Lately I've been trying to be better about saving my pictures to either flickr or our personal web server. This way it's not dependent on an actual computer at home, but is safely stored away on some machine in a data center. Good luck with reconfiguring your new computer ... I'm still trying to get mine to work perfectly as well. :-) I’m sorry that your old computer broke.

It does take awhile to get up and running on a new machine. Have you tried uploading photos to your blog through Flickr? That's how I do it because my Mac is so old I don't have complete functionality in Blogger. Good luck. M Hi Mimi,
