There is going to be an exorcism

As much as I love technology, it is a pain in the ass! Once again my “Dell” computer is possessed. Tonight I will once again try and exorcise the demon minus the head spinning, snot spewing, cross in the crotch stuff. The last time I attempted this I watched as the demon not only fought back, but also took everything on my hard drive with it. I have given up on receiving any help from the “Help Desk” (what an oxymoron) or talking to someone in India telling me “You must reboot now”. I thought about recruiting the local “Geek Squad” but then decided that if they came over and made it worse there may be a murder. No, this is something I must do on my own. I must reach deep down and overcome my fear and face the beast. With tomorrow being 6/6/06 I thought it appropriate to attempt the exorcism tonight.
If any of you out there are Computer peeps, here is what went down:
I unloaded Norton Virus Scan
Loaded McAffee
Performed a disk defrag which could not complete.
System Restore
Un Restore
Restore.
I lost the McAffee, which is not big deal and expected
But now my task bar and start Menu is stuck in some funk. Kinda like “Classic Mode” and I still can not defrag which I need to do desperately.
So, hopefully I will report back tomorrow that all went well. If not then expect that I was swallowed by Satan and am residing somewhere in Dell hell!
