Computer Rage

For the last several days my PC has been getting slower and cranky. Over the weekend it crashed big time.
This morning I was tempted to order a new one, but decided to try to reinstall Windows 7. I managed that but found that all my software needed to be reinstalled too.
Many hours later of loading, reloading, swapping CDs, hair pulling and a few choice words to software engineers, I now have a working PC again (almost).
I have lost all my old emails. Photoshop won't reinstall my old version of CS6 and wants me to but a new Cloud subscription. And various other niggles.

Congratulations on (almost) restoring your PC. Computers problems require the patience of a saint. V

Maybe it has a slipped disc?

Yikes, I have been struggling with purchasing a new laptop because if I do I have to get a new version of photoshop that is cloud based. For some reason the cloud based version makes me worried that it won't always be available off line and such. Great photo though.

my compliments Bill, one, you have hair to pull, two, you make art out of a problem

I have been through that hassle -- it would have been enough to make me buy a new computer.
