Fresh Start

What a programmer wanted the least is his/her computer to crash.  If that happens, it only means one thing, the troublesome and tiresome reinstallation.  Imagine that.

Well, my husband's laptop didn't really crash.  It's just that, I can't drag-and-drop anymore.  This affects everything because most of the time, I drag files and drop them to another storage.  It's also easier to drag-and-drop files in FTP, rather than finding the button to upload/download the files.  But that, I can still live without.

But in the end, I decided to reinstall.  Why?  Definitely not the drag-and-drop problem.  It's my IIS.  I couldn't open the properties dialog box in sites.  And while looking for the solution, I realized, it's not only in IIS.  The problem also persisted in Event Viewer and Services explorer, and everything with the same explorer as IIS.  I cried hard because I felt I was very unlucky.  So there, I was only able to work for a few hours, then I started the reinstallation of the OS (with the help of my husband, of course -- I don't know how to start the reinstallation).  I was up until 4AM.  Really troublesome.

So now, I'm having a really fresh start.  I already started working again just this 8PM.  And while doing so, I continue installing with the rest of the programs that I often use.
