All this 'mine's bigger than yours', third grade, 'I'm smarter than you because you had sp2 problems and I didn't (at least I SAY I didn't)' crap is a real hoot to watch.

  My Suggestion is to take your computer, open the window, and chuck the
  computer out the window. Then, buy a new one that works. Or, learn how to use
  a computer. I think that learning how to use a computer would be cheaper.
  Sorry about your bad luck.
