Fixed!

Hip, Hip, Hurrah!!!!

My computer is fixed! Thank you soooooooooo much to Jonathan! :-)
It was very weird not to be able to use it for over a month and I am very excited to have it back and to know that it will not do weird random things that surprise and upset me.
No more walking for an hour to get to the library, just to check Facebook! Ha!

I still don't really know what was wrong with the thing in the first place. I guess that it just got a TON of viruses and finally gave up the ghost. To cut a long story short it was decided in the end, that the only way to save it was to wipe the whole thing and start again. Which was very scary. But it worked, and now I am happy. :-)

Its odd though. As I am not really very computer literate (you would never have guessed, I know), I never bothered to update any of my servers or anything, so now it all looks different (Mozilla, MSN etc) and it almost feels like I have a whole new computer! Cool!
