It's a Team's Life

Whoopee for Geeks

I was able to start my computer in safe mode which gave me hope that I could double check my previous backups which were good.   My heart then sank when I realized last time I was at home I had taken most of my software into the house.   Now what?   We were on our way to Saskatchewan, Canada and I knew nothing could be done till we came back out.   As I drove I thought of all the things I had to have our computer for.   I use our computer to track all of our finances, I use our computer to know what our settlements are, I use our computer to pay bills and to pay ourselves.   I use our computer to set up talk shoe conference calls we have each week, and the list continues.   We are not planning on going home till June and I needed another plan.   We were parked at the TA in Rogers, MN and I was out walking and thinking and walked right by a Best Buy.   Wow, Geek Squad might have an idea to help me so I stopped in.   I met the nicest young guy and I explained my problem to him.   No reference disks are really a problem.   When I explained what my computer was doing he felt as if my Vista had become corrupt and I needed to reinstall and wipe my computer clean.   He then thought for a minute and said you know you could upgrade to Windows 7 and that should fix the problem.   The best part was when he said bring you computer in and I will look at it and have it fixed for you today with all of your drivers!   Talk about filling me with hope.   I trotted back to the truck and gathered up my computer and with a smile on my face I trotted back to the Best Buy.   As you can see since I am back to blogging he was able to fix my computer and it actually acts as if it is brand new!   When I go home I will gather my CD’s up with a special folder and they will not leave the truck again.   I am very thankful that I do regular backups to my external hard drive as I did not lose much.   What I did lose though was many of my emails I have categorized over time.   I have to come up with a better plan to save information I need from my emails for the future!   Even though it is raining right now my heart is light and the future looks bright once again thanks to Geek Squad.
