AEB ... I tried to see whether that URL you provided was in my Site Advisor's database of bad web sites. However, I didn't get any conclusive info on it.



In the future, I strongly recommend going to a legitimate web site for clean copies of downloadable software. One of my favorites is "www.cnet.com". There are many others, by the way, but as you can see, if the site you went to was really the cause, you've already seen what the results can be.



By the way ... You didn't tell us much about the error that occurs when you try to start up your laptop. I could be wrong, but I suspect that if you need your files badly enough, they may be recoverable. However, you're going to need someone with more expertise to: (1) diagnose the problem, (2) determine whether your system is recoverable, and (3) make the necessary fix. You'd be surprised ... Depending on exactly what happened to your system, it may be completely and easily recoverable, providing your problem is one of the simple ones that can easily be corrected AND you go to someone with the right expertise. It may cost you, too, but you'll need to decide whether you're willing to pay. It just depends on how much your want your data back.
