Title: My laptop crashed...
Post by: Theforeshadower on February 18, 2007, 12:57:16 pm: My laptop crashed and I had to reinstall XP.....I lost all my documents,programs,sprites,music,videos,etc.
My project LttP-GB is postponed until I can find everything.I lost all of my game saves for like BF2142,HALO,Morrowinds,Oblivion,
GTA:SA,on and on the list goes....*sigh*...very sorry about my project though.I had an engine demo almost finished....
Jere's the crazy thing though...I had to reset my cpu to factory settings and restore it,but all my PROGRAMS in the PROGRAMS FOLDER
are still there they just act like they are not installed,half of my icons in the start up menu are still there..(that;s about 30 still)
I dont understand why it wouldnt wipe it all...

Sure, they run windows, but that only means that you can install the games, not necessarily play them. The hardware is simply not made for it. If you really want a Mac, then go ahead. Outside of gaming they're decent machines. If you want to stick with Windows though, then the company I recommend is Toshiba.
