ARGH! (Also known as 'why Terp is not in-game')

I hate to post this, especially after seeing a lot of other people with comp. troubles. Partly I haven't been around lately because life has just been busy. Part of life being busy is that we've been mentoring a foster kid. I allowed foster kid to use the computer, and she downloaded iTunes, which I said was okay, but she also downloaded some other music sharing program that made trouble, and went on sites that caused my virus scanner to spazz repeatedly.
TEF has never run well on my comp, and now it takes ten minutes to load and freezes before I even get my deer to stand up. If anybody's been wondering over the appearing/disappearing magpie pelt deer sleeping by the crying idol, that's just me beating my computer.

I'm not sure what it's going to take to fix this, so I guess consider this a kind of absence warning. I'd really love to play, but... yeah. Still intermittently around the forum thing here, just not in game. *waves and beats computer more*

I suggest using System Restore to get the computer back to how it was before the problem.

I'm leery of system restore

I'm leery of system restore or wiping the HD because my girlfriend has programs on here for her online college. I'm not sure how big of a hassle it would be for her to get those set up again. Problem didn't start until after the music programs fiasco though. I've uninstalled most of that and it hasn't helped yet.

There should be a restore

There should be a restore point for just before the music program, or close to it..
Would that be too far back that those other programs would be gone? If it doesn't work, System Restore can be undone.

Might be... This is the problem with having a computer that's shared between multiple people. Eye I'll have to check with her and make sure there's nothing important we might lose. I can only expect so much, TEF has always run badly on here.
