Stupid Technology

[Kiana]

So I used to have a screen recorder application for my PC (Windows)
and yesterday I went to use it and it didn't work, it was cutting off the bottom of my video and so hubby told me to just uninstall and try another free one.

In the process of uninstalling, it didn't want to be removed, I had to get one of those uninstalling removers that digs into your hard drive to find out why that program won't uninstall.

Well it finally got it off my PC, but the program was "attaching" itself to other main programs I use and it ended up stripping most of my programs so that they didn't work. I had to reinstall Windows and now I'm starting over.....

THANKFULLY it didn't remove any of my files, just programs.
STUPID TECHNOLOGY
This is me right now

Technology is great. . .when it works. So sorry you had to go through this. It's frustrating having to spend so much time wasted on getting things to work right.

I so understand the frustration when technology is being PITA instead of being helpful! I hope your Windows reinstalled well and working smoothly now.

Thanks. Now I have to reinstall all the good programs. But at least I'm home with time to do it. ROFL

Ugh! So sorry! Technology is supposed to make life "simplier" but it has a lot of issues!

Oh Kiana! What a hassle! I'm glad you up and running again!

[Kiana]

Thanks ladies

Ugh, that's the worst!

I'm so sorry Did you run a virus scan before you unzipped that original link? I'm always terrified I'll download a virus when I do something like that. Sometimes I'll ask my father to check out a link. He'll laugh at me but it's peace of mind for me!

Good luck reinstalling all your things

Yes, I run a scan on everything I download .... nothing came up. I don't think it was a virus and hubby whos in I.T. didn't either. I'm just glad it's gone!
