Back in the saddle again

Finally and with con$iderable expen$e, I got my computer back from the Geek Squad at Best Buy. Long story short, my hard drive was dying and they installed a new one. However, this meant that they re-installed Windows XP and all else was lost, except for the data in the "My Documents" files. I need to re-install everything.

The only programs they installed were PC-cillin AntiVirus and SpySweeper; so far these programs have been the watchdogs of the system. I re-installed Office XP and I'll get to the other stuff tomorrow. Ciao.
