New Year Computer Crash

Well as most of you know, I try to keep currant on my blog. HOWEVER....the most horrifying thing has hit me the past few months. After many frustration moments with my computer, I finally got the big "C" word dumped on me. "COMPUTER CRASH". First time in 15 years, and all because of a stupid mistake on my part. BEWARE....when you get what looks like a legit error message saying download anti-spyware to avoid the detected virus on your computer!!!! Well, I did it, I'm ashamed to admit because I thought I was way too smart and too on guard for this to happen. Now, I not only had to have a new hard drive, I think all my years of saved "pictures and artwork" are lost. PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR ME THAT SOME OF THIS CAN BE RETREIVED! At any rate and let this be a warning for all of you.....PLEASE get BACK UP DISCS of everything on your computer. I can't believe I was this stupid! But now, I'm faced with basically starting over and can't seem to get motivated back into my art. Maybe in the coming days, I sincerely HOPE!

Hi Bonnie!
Oh no! SO sorry to hear it! I had a bit of scare just recently and thought I'd lost everything but I was quite lucky and managed to get most of my artwork and pics back. I hope you are just as lucky, really hope you get everthing back

oh, take it easy. So it teaches you to save your documents in time. And this is very important. I came across your situation many times before. So I know how important it is to get into the good habit of saving documents in time.
Furthermore, you can use some free registry defrag tools to check up your computer. I think it's some kind of registry errors.

Hi. I'm so sorry about what you're having to endure. I did the same thing once- but i don't think i lost any stored data- get another anti-virus asap and i'm quite sure you'll find your work. Trust me- the best always happens- we just can't see it until later.

Hope you're smiling at the end :)

Just to let you know, most of your files can be recovered from your old hard drive if it hasn't been formatted.
