I finally found the box with the stuff from my desk, so I am going to take the recovery discs back to computer quack and see if we can at least get Windows to speak English again, and re-install the newer, more improved, still horrible Vista that I had.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168724520565471086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5231254871243095500.post-4180222066883928232010-03-10T17:42:17.898-06:002010-03-10T17:42:17.898-06:00Oh, Patty! I am sooo sorry - I know exactly how yo...Oh, Patty! I am sooo sorry - I know exactly how you feel... In 2006, my laptop went to the "doctor" in La Ceiba, and I want to state that what happened next was not the result of a quack. The shop was broken into, my computer one of many stolen and was formatted by the thieves before they were arrested. <br />Miraculously I did get it back, as it was held as evidence for the trial of the thieves (who were convicted and jailed in a little over a month!)<br />I was an absolute novice with computers in those days, and lost every single picture that I had taken in my previous four years here in Honduras, as well as family pics from Canada.<br />Needless to say, I've learned a number of ways to back up my files and photos since then! Good luck with retrieving your historical research...Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12824483422377782208noreply@blogger.com
