Nah, Mike doesn't think he had anything to do with any of the programs I was running. (Each time it happened, I was using different programs.) He said something about bad sectors, something about the registry and needing a new hard drive...but I was looking at my pretty new computer to pay too much attention to him. LOL

Totally annoying, but I managed to get my files off before it totally kicked the bucket. If I hadn't, I would have been crushed.
