Gah Vista pooped on me...

Don't trust the repair options, and safe mode didn't work either.

Sadly i lost all my Crysis benchmark numbers, going to look for a Data recovery software (i have a 500GB drive so odds are they are still retreivable).

I swear something doesn't want me to unleash the crysis review :yell:

i read somewhere that vista sp1 made a lot of computer mess up, my bros brand new xps quad core reboots from the windows screen from some of the updates. friggin vista

Yeah i installed SP1 release canditate a few days ago... my PC was having all sorts of issues since then

.

Nothing like a fresh OS even if it is empty of all my tools/graphs/reviews

.

I just hope i can retreive the graphs at least or at least one of them so i don't lose them :confused:.

That would be the ultimate in annoying for me.

I cannot do the usual and say.. This is why Vista sucks, because it doesnt. But it going to have its growing pains.. Backup always.

I never backup... ever.

Usually because i treat DVD's pretty bad, and will lose said backup's.

Best idea really. I have spare drives in a another machine on my network. Everything important on my machine using Windows backup, gets backed up to an array on this machine once a week automagically. Its fast, and easy, and set it and forget it style.

You dont need much of a machine to run this, but you will be limited by your budget as far as drive space. (why I run a botched together array, because its hard to afford for me.. )
