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.
