cannot even download images from the disk to the main laptop. it is crippled up. aieeeeee! Sad

i did get to look at 'em on the big laptop's screen. the walgreens housebrand 200 color cannot handle a full range of tones. in several shots exposed for an object, the sky - and it was overcast, not sunny - is washed out. i accidentally exposed the first six shots at asa 400 on the r's meter instead of asa 200. these look richer ...

the industar 50 50/3.5 does not like direct or bounced sun, either, but it pretty sharp edge to edge, from what i could see on the walgreens prints with a magnifying glass. AND, it seems it focuses exactly as it should, across a range of distance. this is a nice surpise, i think.

oh, that i could post samples ...

Have you tried running Trend Micro's housecall virus scan? It is very useful and will use the latest virus cleaner to clear up your machine. It should be able to get rid of anything bad that is more than a few days old. It is very, very rare to get anything that is so crippling that you need to reformat.

Another thing to look at if you are using Windows is the System Restore function. If something has broken a program then you can often restore the broken thing by just picking a restore date that predates your problem.
