The worst nightmare you can think of
 
:D Hi everyone
Tuesday this week I should do a uninstall of my SH3, I was cleaning up the pc
I deleted the folder in "my documents" , and I used the "regedit".
I uninstall the SH3 and reboot the pc.
Just when the pc should start up again,black screen ,and a line said :"windows system32 error" push button "r" to restore":o
I thought this must be wrong so I restarted my pc again , nooo the same line:damn:
I went in to the boot menu , nooo the same:damn: I remember thinking
"Oh my God all my files"!
No matter what I did , the same line showed up :stare:
Ok,suddently I realized I must do a total restoring of XP.
All my files I lost,and my special folder
containing my mods is lost,everything:damn:
So the whole tuesday,and the whole wednesday,and the whole thursday went
when the clock passed half past seven in the afternoon I was finish doing the restoring. You know all of those updates takes time:dead:
So something I did wrong but what:o
I should only reinstall the game .
But now I know it was good it happened because I have a lot more faster pc then I had before:) But thinking of all those files I missed , and not did a backup:dead: :dead:
But my "new" game is running smoothly, and I'm on my way to a new patrol in sept 1939 :

I feel for you!!
Really!! I do!!
Today I was moveing files off my Dev system.
Before I was done, i installed some new software.
On rebooting?
BSOD!!!
No matter what I tried?
BSOD!!
Several hours into recovery now.
:nope:

Dang, I'm sorry to hear that.

Some advice for the future: get a backup drive. If that's to expensive, do what I did - get a cheap Flash drive. I have a 4-GB one that I save all my work and game files on.

Madox58 09-27-08 11:47 PM

In my case, it was just plain stupid of me.
:nope:
I had nearly all the things I wanted backed up to another system.
I only left the most important stuff for last.
As I had some new C++ stuff to work on?
I decided to upgrade some software.
Bad move.
VERY Bad MOVE!!
:damn:

3 hours into recovery now and I just hit 30% recovery of OS
That means all my data will be there.
But all programs I had installed will be gone!!
:cry:

I hope nothing like this happens to me.:huh:

StarLion45 09-27-08 11:56 PM

Sorry
 
:D Hi guys
yeah I feeling sorry for you:-?
But something I must do wrong that day.
I remember I was into regedit because when I should do this reinstall ,
I should remove the "nhancer" too I use that I have NVIDIA card
I think I removed something call "windows enhance" or something
It is the first time in my life I do a total restoring I never done that before
so something I must do right:smug:

Hey at least your pc is running faster.:smug:

Madox58 09-28-08 12:02 AM

I usually do a complete reinstall once a year.
I pushed it to a year and a half this time.
:nope:
I was going to remove critical files and do a wipe and re-install.
But I got greedy and wanted to test some new code.
:roll:
My bad.

As long as I can recover the Data files I'm happy.
The programs need re-installed anyway.
After all the installs and uninstalls I've done over a year and a half?
Only a fresh OS install will fix things.

StarLion45 09-28-08 12:10 AM

I love to do....
 
:D I am crazy!
I love to explore the system and all of those lovely programs:cool:
you know when you are 45 years old (like me)the brain is slower than you are when you're in the early twenties :roll: so I am just a beginner when it becomes to data.
But it's interesting.
I can't help it.:rotfl:

Just dont mess with that file that blows up the entire world.;) :yep:

Madox58 09-28-08 12:15 AM

I'm nearly 51 years old now.
:o
Never figured I'd live this long!!
:lol:
But I've been doing computer stuff since the late 70's.
So I should know better!!
:damn:
Oh well.
It's been a few years since something like this has happened to me.
:oops:
Just got a bit cocky I guess.

Maybe this helps
 
:D I've read the newspaper this morning and I read this:
The passangers on an commercial airliner had to push the plane.
And the plane ticket said nothing about that:cool:
Maybe we should do this to trim our braines and body :
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I thought that ended with the envention of airport tractors.:hmm:

Truthfully?

Since Service Pack 2, XP has been the most stable OS from
Microsoft.
Service pack 3 was even better!
