But there were porn icons all over my desktop and just stopped working.
Carol, it sounds as if you may have been hit by a ‘pornado’. Some people are sick. I hope you have a firewall up.
Haven't backed up my email in a long time . Am afraid I may have lost all those addresses . Friends and family etc.
After my hard drive died a couple of years ago, I started using my yahoo address almost exclusively. If you use yahoo or gmail or one of the other public emails, it’s pretty difficult to lose email addresses. Something else I do with my wips is to email them to myself on a regular basis and so it is stored on yahoo. (I see coolgirl has already mentioned this.)
I wish you luck in restoring your info.
Neither one had recovery CDs so I'm wondering if my neighbor [owns the computer store] didn't keep them by accident.
With some computers, you have to make your own recovery CD when you first get the computer. With my computer, you could only do this once. Hopefully your neighbor has what you need. (Ah, I see you’ve found this out.)
