On my second boot the hard drive returned.. but it scared me, so I used
system restore... I have been downloading a lot trials and one of them
messed up my computer I fear.. also have been deleting files in my games.. I
downloaded Real Arcade... knowing it was not that good to do that.. but was
bored, and wanted a diversion.. I uninstalled it a couple of weeks later,
and boy did it leave a mess of files on my computer. not a big deal for most
people who have ample hard drive space. but I'm getting pretty filled up..
so I wanted to remove the images, etc and folders in My Games.. did that
hurt my computer? thanks.. Rainy ps. Where is Sharon, she used to offer me
some outstanding response....
