So last night I went to turn on my laptop, and rather than start up, it came up with some message telling me it was re-installing the operating system. Twenty minutes later, it was ready to go, minus all of the photos/music/additional programs I'd accumulated on my hard drive this year.
Luckily I backed up all my photos to CD a few weeks ago so didn't lose all of them. However, I did lose all of the music I'd ripped to my computer, as well as all of the additional programs that you need these days (itunes, divx player, nero etc). It's pretty frustrating considering the computer is only six months or so old.
Also, even though it says Windows Vista is the operating system, what I see on my screen looks suspiciously like Windows 95. It seems to be working now so I guess I'll leave it and begin the process of downloading all that extra stuff I need, and re-populating my itunes library. I probably should check for spyware, I can't see any other reason that something like this might have happened.
