Did you not read correctly? I didn't leave it until the last minute. I don't know how to leave things till the last minute. If you read correctly, you would see that I had to re write my entire essay off of MEMORY, from COMPLETING my research paper. Do you really think I could have written an research essay from memory in an hour if I didn't start it at all? :rolleyes:
The problem is not leaving things until the last minute. It's not being able to access information that was "supposedly" safely saved to the hard drive. One of the papers was over thirty pages long. That would be why it was on the computer. And once again, I emphasize, had you read correctly, I will quote myself here:
| quote: | | my computer won't work long enough for me to retrieve the files for the presentation! |
As in, RETRIEVE the files. As in, already written. As in, already completed.
Once again, clearly, the issue is not whether or not the assignments/essays/presentation were completed, for if they weren't, then I wouldn't be able to hand write a summary of what was saved to the files on my computer. The problem is the thirty page essay that I cannot access. The problem is that each and every file on my computer is being blocked for some reason.
Read before you post next time. |

Hmm, there are a couple of things you can try - not sure if you've tried it already...
Can you get directly to the DOS prompt and navigate to the directory your files are stored on and back them up to a floppy (which you'd of course want to run a virus scan on after you fix your computer)?
How about, can you get to Safe Mode? This will free up some memory as it doesn't load in a lot of tasks when you start up Windows. From here, you might be able to run AdAware to get rid of some spyware if that's causing lag, or you might be able to access an antivirus program. |

Or just copy the file pronto without screwing around! |

| Maybe you have the mydoom virus - it has been going around lately and pops up a message saying that the computer will shut down in 60 seconds and theres nothing you can do to stop it. If you think you have the vurus just do a search for the file mydoom.exe on your computer and delete it. You can see if its currently running by going into task manager and looking for the process mydoom.exe and shutting it down. If you are infected you many want to edit the registary to stop it from loading when windows boots. |

what doesnt kill u will only keep trying til it does.
and i was presented in a similar dilemma a week ago, i had something like 16 hours to hand in a 2700 word essay or something.
so i did it at college, had to bunk a few lessons but i did it and handed it in with half an hour to spare. so i blagged a fag of dan and smoked it up.

Yep, stressful times indeed, but reckon you're past it now. Why kind of virus hit you and how do you believe you got it?
:p

try and get someone who has nortons to put it on your computer and scan it, or if youre technically apt, do it yourself.
try not to stress out too much, its just not good for you. viral infections happen to everybody... and thier computers. people will understand if you cant get something in because of it. and if they dont, get your disk infected, then give it to them. |
