Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Computer Help

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

While on the subject of computer help, I have one laptop that is down and  
needs to be reinvigorated due to the fact that much of the software that is on  
it is necessary but we have, admittedly foolishly, misplaced the media that is 
 necessary to reinstall it.
 
After fussing with AOL (yes, I know it is an enigma, and to be avoided but  
it is too late to do anything about it so noting it and then criticizing using  
it is not particularly helpful at this juncture) tech support and following  
their instructions to no avail in trying to figure out why the software would  
not boot up in mode to use the wireless network something occurred, yes again 
 you can criticize but it won't be helpful, wife managed to click on 
something  that cause the computer to lose its Windows Explorer. 
 
Each time I boot it up, I get an error message telling me that Windows  
Explorer cannot be found, and although the opening screen desktop background  
appears, and I can do things such as control-alt-delete to access Task Manager, 
 I 
have no icons on the screen and no toolbars, hence I can't do anything but  
wait for the screensaver to kick in.
 
I'm open to any all knowledgeable suggestions, other than don't let my wife  
touch any of my computers ever again, I'm not quite ready to join the other  
Steve yet..
 
TIA,
 
Dr. Steve
