I am reformatting my computer

If you've chatted with me on Skype or on AOL or MSN or participated in last Sunday's Clockcrew Academy, you would know that lately, my computer has been freezing very frequently.  Before it would freeze, on average, oh... zero times a day.  But on Sunday it froze 10 times.  Whenever the computer freezes, I need to restart it because it won't work.
Regardless to say, we don't know what the fuck is wrong with it, and it's just one very, very annoying problem upon many others, so, all-in-all, reformatting will be for the best.  Hey, I'll be able to use Speakonia again :)
The only downside is reinstalling all my programs.  That won't be a problem for most except for Photoshop, which I have lost the CD to.  So, shit.
But, I'll be glad to have a fresh start, and I'm very thankful I got my external hard drive during Easter break because now I have a place to store all my stuff AND I don't need to start from scratch when it comes to everything!

If I can find joliet_jane she really could give you a hand. Is a bit embarassing but I don't know that much about computers.

It might be possible to put Photoshop onto your external hard drive (I'm not sure how you'd put the registry entries onto it, but I'm sure it's possible) and then put it on your computer from the the external hard drive after you reformat.

If you still have your serial number, you could probably just download photoshop (from Adobe if it's CS3, from somewhere else presumably for an older version) and reactivate it.

Here's hoping all goes well.
