My computer is officially broken, for the moment. I am posting from my brother's PoS desktop atm...apparently my computer can't find the "SYSTEM" folder in the "SYSTEM32" section of my computer =(. I had no viruses when it stopped working yesterday, so I can rule that out...and it's easily fixable, but there's an important caveat. All my shit would get deleted if I went ahead and restored it back to the state it was in when I bought it. Of importance to me: My Adobe CS2 executable, given to me by a friend, that lets me edit my pics and make some weird-ass art. I'd also lose nearly all of my PSD files, as well as my enormous picture collection I've built up over the last six months or so from finally getting into 4chan and other chans.

In more detail, the computer (running Windows XP btw) starts up normally until it gets to the XP loading screen, which it never actually gets to. A long pause replaces the screen, followed by the message that the SYSTEM folder is either missing or corrupted. It asks me to insert a Windows CD to start a recovery process, but my computer never came with OS CDs, since it was store bought and never upgraded.

I'm not sure whether to wait for the computer guy to come in 4-5 days to get those files off of my computer for me, or just eat my losses and start completely over.

I'd lose the two pictures I was going to submit to the art forum today too =(. One was this random thing I did when I was bored a few weeks ago, and another, almost done, was this cool-ass Chinese propaganda poster.

What do you think Newgrounds?

Picture unrelated

Edit: Fuck it, I restored it and I'm happy. I'll find the time for new art eventually.

EDITED EDIT: Apparently my computer saved ALL of my pictures in another, hard-to-find folder?? I'm not complaining :D
