Anti Sony? or Anti Vista?
So, I was really bummed because as soon as I arrived at home, my new laptop of two months broke. It wouldn't move past the welcome page, just sat there loading...So I called Sony for Tech support, but they were basically no help. Said I'd need to restore my hard drive, which is BS because all my pics and e-mail are stuck on the machine, and I of course didn't back anything up the entire time I was in CA since my external drive was in Rochester. (Great safety precaution right ;-)
Anyway, I really didn't think it was my hard drive being corrupted because it was booting up, it just hung on a Windows screen...but still, the frustration of not being able to get on was driving me insane. Finally, Seymen decided to take it into his own hands (screw Sony!)...He started doing some research online and we realized that the latest windows update corrupted my account. He created another account and was able to log into my machine. PHEWWW! He even managed to get my account to load up again, although it would load as a temp account, so no settings will be saved. Anyway, I spent all night last night going in and backing up all my data. I even was able to access my old e-mail boxes so I could backup my e-mail from the past two months. PHEWWW!
I'm so relieved that I was able to save everything. But note just a note...I'm definitely 100% against Windows Vista. Too many bugs. I'm switching back to XP. And as for Sony. They suck too. What happened to the high quality machines they used to make. My last Sony, I bought 5 years ago, and it still isn't dead, it's just slow and has too little space...It is going to turn into my kitchen recipe holder/internet browser/TV. I'm pretty dissapointed with the Sony quality...
