Wow. it's been a year since I've written in here. Lots has happened, but I won't really get into all that drama. I have a boyfriend right now, he's 30 (I'm 21, I know, it's weird). We've been going out for almost 5 months. Thats the longest I've dated anyone since chauncey.

For halloween this year I'm going as Bree from Desprate Houswives.

do you think you could do a complete reinstall and a destructive restore?

My old roommates were so fucking vindictive. I wouldn't let them on my PC because they would install random things that were packed with spyware. When I finally let them back on, the deleted control panel. I can no longer install or uninstall anything, they deleted all my games like solitare and freecell, and I can't do a defrag.

It sucks, but I learned my lesson.

Hi Mary,

Just noticed you finally updated your journal so I figured I'd leave you a comment regarding your computer.

You shouldn't need a complete format & reinstall. If you know what you're doing -- or if you have someone do it for you -- you can restore the Control Panel file (windows\system32\control.exe) as well as most other components of Windows that may be missing (defrag, games, etc) using the Windows installation disc or restoration CDs provided with the computer.

After that, it's simply a matter of downloading some free spyware removal tools (Spybot, Ad-Aware) to get rid of the spyware. For virus protection, I recommend Kaspersky.

Ah, another tip (if you're using XP): From Start Menu -> Run, you can use the "SFC" command to scan for any corrupt or missing critical Windows files. It may need to replace some files so you will need to put your Windows XP installation disc in the CD-ROM.

In the run command, type "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes) to run SFC.

Good luck.
