Tony T Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Well, folks...I'm still using friends' computers when I'm able. My computer went out about two weeks ago due to hard drives filled to the brim with MP3's. Yes, during the Napster revolution I downloaded almost every song ever composed and when your hard drives are totally filled with data, really strange things happen. Mine just gave out. I got my computer back yesterday...yehhhh!!! Well, not so fast. In addition to getting four 60 gig hard drives installed to handle all the crap I download, I also had Windows 2000 put on. When I got home, I was so excited I went to Windows Update and installed several security patches which Microsoft recommended...wrong thing to do. My computer crashed...took it in today and will have it back Monday. My visits to the forum should be on more of a regular basis after that. Hope everyone is doing well. It's nice to be missed...by a few anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Nadine Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Why don't you try and zip the files? Or compress them? Or back up all your stuff onto another CD - need a burner (a friend maybe?) Microsoft - contact them and they should help you if it is their product you are using they provide technical support (by phone perhaps).
