Just when I thought I couldn't have any more stress right now... I may have to format my entire harddrive without the ability to back things up ... I cannot run ANY program, and had to hack my own computer to even get Internet explorer working... (Long story)
So in any case... when you see me next (which may be in a while) I will be mighty pissed off because I will have lost almost everything on my computer.

The only exception is I've used the webhosting we have at THZclan.com (thanks BJ) to upload some of my more important files.

I dunno why I'm posting this at all, except to say I won't be around for a while.

Ack! That is too bad KitZy! Too bad I am seeing this probably too late, but if you need some more space let me know and we can work out a temp solution!

This sucks getting to this so late, I would have suggested finding another hard drive if you could, then you might be able to save some stuff.

Good luck KitZ! Look at it this way, your computer should run like a top now :D

I knew that option, Bj, unfortunately I'm locked out of ALL my computer functions.. including even running regedit... I DID get regedit open long enough to open up my internet explorer... who knew hacking skills would actually be useful.

in any case, yeah, I can't even save to the a: drive right now (I got so mad I threw a disk against the wall and shattered it OOPS : )

But yeah, Maybe 5 more megs would be very helpful, thanks...

Not even from DOS?

I'll see if I can increase the space.

*edit
I have increased the space I believe, let me know if it worked.

DOS doesn't exist in Windows ME... Lovely isn't it?

I tried to use a boot disk to get to dos and guess what, the virus diverted the disk boot option.


Basically... the only thing that works is internet explorer (not even windows explorer works) and my only hope is to use a minimal boot to format and fdisk the hell outta my computer.

Thanks for the extra space... i'm gonna try to save a few mp3s there... the rare ones I won't be able to re-download.

Hmm, the virus must have affected your bios if you cant get it to boot to the ME floppy :/

Please tell me you saved the HEATHER stuff? I wouldn't want you to ever have to re-write any of that stuff...
