Sooooooooooo

I've been working the better part of Thanksgiving break working on a project for english.. making a movie, powerpoint and writing a paper on a movie, The Boys of Baraka. It took 8 hours alone for me to rip the dvd to my hard-drive and halfway through making the movie my computer literally meltsdown. so now i've had to re-format it and start from scratch and the best part is my project is due tomorrrow.

windows.

windows would eat memory. like i cleared 2 gigs yesterday and let my pc sit.... came back and i had less than 50 meg. wtf :dunno:
i just got done re-formatting it again so hopefully i have no more problems. what sucked i couldnt save anything, so all my work from 10th grade on is lost (like id need it anyways, but ya know)

Sounds like you either got hacked or caught a virus...

I had a friend that got hacked and the hacker was using his computer as a alternative storage device...

Dude, you should really try linux. I bet you'll never have these types of problems again.

The best thing that you can do to prevent hackers is to have a active hardware firewall via a router of some sort. Like a linksys or something.

Try Zenwalk (www.zenwalk.org), it's farily easy to use.

First thing I do when I download a new distro is join their forum lol; and if it's just your audio that's fucking up use VLC (www.videolan.org/vlc) Plays everything under the sun and some things on it.
