After numerous uninstalls and re-installs that didn&#8217;t work, the support staff sent me a fourth removal tool that worked too well&#8230; it removed the drivers from my OS and the whole thing had to be recreated.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I was annoyed. Angry, even. I just wanted protection from viruses. And instead I got a bigger problem.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->It cost us almost $300 to repair my computer, including purchasing a new OS.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s where the silver lining came in: since I had to reinstall the OS anyhow, why stick with Vista? I made the upgrade to Windows 7 which is a much better (and faster, and less glitchy, and more visually appealing) user experience.<\/p>\n<p>I had to reinstall all my programs (or, I should say, I have to, since I&#8217;m still going through that process)&#8230; but I have backups of my old program files, so I can pretty much recreate all the customization I&#8217;ve done. I was sure worried about losing all my presets, favorites and keyboard shortcuts in my audio editing program, Adobe Audition, but it&#8217;s all back as good as new!<\/p>\n<p>So the point is, even during the most trying of times&#8230; even when it&#8217;s something as seemingly unimportant (but oh-so-important) as a computer&#8230; even when you just can&#8217;t believe what has &#8220;happened to&#8221; you&#8230; there&#8217;s always a pro for every con.<\/p>\n<p>I love seeing yin and yang make themselves so obviously known in day-to-day life.<\/p>\n<p>It makes it all the more clear how everything is in equilibrium, regardless of how hard it might be to see it in the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life!<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Heather Vale Goss\" src=\"http:\/\/heathervale.com\/images\/sigHVG_2.1_blue.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"35\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week my computer died (again)&#8230; or, well, it got pretty sick.
