well everything was fine. The computer worked better over the weekend than it had in a year. Then I got to work this morning and outlook froze, then a blue screen, finished with windows not starting through any repair or restore method.
My new laptop is excellent! |

I am sure I can. I just got fed up today and put it to the owner and he said just go get a new one. Ok. Done.

Re: Ping.exe
Actually, before you do, if you have to, you can save some of your valuable files with a Linux live USB like Puppy Linux or Parted Magic. You'll need Unetbootin and a USB drive though.
