The Continuing Chronicles of Ness and Her Computer

God Bless Google! If I knew how to do the icon with the beer glasses I would insert it and raise a glass to the search engine.

Mentioned in my last blog I was about ready to kill my computer or, as someone suggested, throw it out a window. Microsoft Word wasn't working even after I sent out for repairs. I know Word doesn't seem like a big huge thing to be without, but when you have essays out the pee goo to write you tend to rely on the stupid application.

I should have turned to Google sooner. I typed in "Microsoft Word troubleshooting" and got this amazing site that suggested a couple of methods I could try. And one worked! Word isn't exactly fixed, I still can't open it through the start menu or the icon, but hey, I got it to run. That deserves a happy little dance from me. But here's the best part:

I got my Firefly fic back!

While in the process of trying to fix Word I found a bunch of back-up files. After clicking on a couple I found copies of my fic. They don't match up with what I had saved before my computer lost its sanity, but one was close enough and I was planning on rewriting the latest part anyway. Now I can resume my attempt at a half decent Firefly fic.
