Fifty-third Time's a Charm

Ran the destructive recovery thing gain, and this time, it finally tok, so I have a working computer again. Ahhhhhhhh. Now, the problem is that last night I had to spend hours uninstalling all that crap HP inflicted on my computer, reinstalling the sound card, the CD burner, the USB 2.0 card, and several of the programs I actually use. I still need to hunt down a bunch of other programs, including a very legal copy of Dreamweaver, reinstall the DVD burner, and reinstal that damn TV tuner card that didn't come with XP drivers, so I have to hunt them down on the internet somewhere. THEN, there's the 4 years or so worth of Windows updates. Wheeeeeeeeee. Also, I lost my password to update the website. Fuck.
