Desperate

[Keele Zeibel]

Hi guys,

I know it's not RO related, but I don't know who to turn to. My girl's laptop is having serious issues:

-no more access to internet (when trying to establish a connection, we get "connection failure")
-the drivers of the card are gone
- the computer doesn't recognize any new plug-in (tough it still work with the ones already plugged in)
- a hell lot of "no responding"/slow processing

We don't know what to do.

P.S.
We would be ok to salvage only a few files from it and lose the computer (sensitive stuff is on it)

Thank you for your help.

I'd say to format it after copying the important files to another HD or a pendrive/dvd/blu-ray.

Make sure you scan the files you take off by a good Anti-Virus.

Keep your girlfriend. Some of them are win.

We began formating the HD.

As a side-note, how long can formating take?
If the procedure cannot complete itself, is there something we can do?

Buy a new laptop?
