well, fellas, looks like I'm out of the game.
I was hit by an old fashioned virus while I went to work thismorning. everything's been purged from the comp but the internet connection, including all saved mods, working mods, shortcuts, pics, etc. now I know why I lost all my personal pics a couple months ago. there are only three things on my desktop at all. an empty My Documents, IE, and the recycle bin
the odd part? the net connection, my onlines and such are still there, but there's no way to access either hard drive, or any program files
