Cavalary: Ouch, computer issues are always nasty.
I would think that if the question is what should be working, the answer should be "everything" though, right?
moonshineshadow: Everything would be the perfect answer, but since my OS hard disk died last weekend I am not expecting everything to work. But at least excel was working the last days... but some update must have caused a problem, so no access to my spreadsheet. And since I was frustrated I stopped updating and re-installing stuff and chose to play a game :D
Updates causing problems, seems to be a rule in recent years, doesn't it?
But sorry to hear about the HDD. That's nasty. Anything else may be replaced, but when a HDD goes with data on it not backed up elsewhere, that's a worse issue. And even if backed up, it takes a while to get things back to how they should be, if they ever do get just back there. (At the same time, if backed up on another HDD, it may make for little downtime, unlike other parts that can't have duplicates in the same computer.)
Hope you'll get it sorted out.
drealmer7: It's good in life to always be in development, no matter how far you've come, you can always go further!
Unless you're on the edge of a cliff... Or, well, you can go further then too, but it's not good.
