Friends, pray for healing for my laptop, ok? My kids want *their* computer back. LOL!
But seriously, I have tried fixing it myself and I guess I have to admit now that this is beyond my meager computer skills level. I am going to have to call the fee-based Dell line and it's going to cost a whopping $99!!!!! Do you know how many books and curricula I could buy with that??!!! ARRGGHH!!!
BUT I do NEED this laptop!!! It has almost as much of my "curricula" on it as my bookcases do!!!!! Plus, it has all of our digital photos from the last two years. I know, I know....I should have burned them onto CDs long before now, but it was one of those things I kept putting off. Now, when I get this computer fixed, the FIRST thing I'm going to do is burn my whole "My Pictures" folder to a CD!!! Hold me to it, OK?!
So, I'm facing a day of being on the phone with Dell support. I don't know how long this is going to take. Send out a search party if I'm not back online in a reasonable amount of time. LOL! :-D

Posted by HeartSchooling The laptop will not boot up. I get a blue screen error that says "Registry File Failure." Apparently, a registry file is either missing or corrupted. I have tried using the self-help guides on the Dell website but nothing worked. I do know that the hardware is fine. It is a software problem.
Does your son know anything about this kind of problem? Thanks!
