Ai ai ai.. |I No idea what was wrong with it, but it wouldn't start in any kind of Safe Mode and kept hurling the Blue Screen of Death at me.

Oh man, the Great Crash has taught me to bookmark the Useful Software thread on this page forever, even if I stop posting it'll be in the 'Greatest Places of All Time' Bookmark Folder.
