Thank you everyone. I'm back online using a different computer. The other one, according to Comp USA, had the hard drive crash, possibly, and it was a supposition, from a virus. This is the only site I use regularly.

I lost all of the photos I'd saved from my digital camera...my daughter's graduation, my cat that died, my son's first day of kindergarten... I'm very depressed right now.

I lost all of the spreadsheets for my taxes and other finances. My laptop didn't have a floppy disk drive, and I couldn't get the CD drive to work, so I couldn't save anything on floppies or CDs.

I bought a new laptop, with Norton Anti-Virus and Firewall, and a WORKING CD drive, so now I have protection and I can save my data.

I had just hopped onto the Forums when it happened. I got a pop up saying my internet connection was low and might not function properly. Then I got the supreme message: "Windows Is Shutting Down to Prevent Damage." Then it shut down!!!!! When I tried to turn it on again, it just keeps giving a message : "Media Test Failure, Check Cable" What cable? What media? AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGG!

I have a few minutes on my lunch break, and I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Be safe!!!
