OK, I managed to get it going again, I burned a cd and it works without crashing
my pc. Although I still seem to have the problem with accessing "my computer". EVERYTIME
I open (found out it isn't just after restarting) I see the flashlight icon searching
for the folders and drives. Why is that? It freezes up my computer for up to a minute
or so.
Any ideas?
