computer knocked out by storm
« on: September 04, 2011, 06:13:59 AM »
Wow what a storm last night.......i spent pretty much all day yesterday ,downloading and installing ibycus topo 3.2 free maps to my computer and Garmin GPS.......then that storm knocked out my computer.......Start Error Repair was running on my computer when i got up and it was wanting to restore my computer to an earlier restore point.....which also meant i would possibly loose recent downloads .....great a day wasted and another to reload Ibycus topo....not that it is the best topo map but its great for a free one .....the repair start program would not let me cancel it so i figured i`d pull the plug on it and see what happens .....computer started up and it gave me a choice to run the startup error repair program or start windows normally.....of course i tried the normal startup ,what have i got to loose if it didn`t work.....Wow,    lucky me ....it all fired up and i lost nothing in the process.....just a little info that might help someone else sometime .....but if it has already happened from last night,you are not probably able to be reading this ....lol....

I know the feeling BE.
 
When mine went down last month I had my wife pick up the best power bar out there. So far so good but I'm not holding my breath.
 
Thanks for the heads up.
