SO GUESS WHO'S COMPUTER JUST EXPLODED. Or rather, refused to boot entirely, yep! Mine! So now I finally did that upgrade I've been meaning to do, but just didn't have the backup files. The downside? I had to reinstall Windows, meaning that I may have to reinstall a shitload of programs? The other downside? Apparently the first install of windows won't let me do... well, anything. Seriously it's not even letting me change the display settings. Any tips on making windows XP recognize me as the Really True Administrator? I only have one account on my computer.

o-on the upside, yay faster computer?
