Computer Troubles: Update

Still can't sign in to LJ or a few other sites. I have found a way I may be able to reset my computer back to the way it was when first initialized, however I don't know if that is pre or post OS instaliation.
 
I have sent _snitchbitch my daily_scifi entry for today, so at least I can say I've done that. But what's really getting to me is that (1) this happened just days after I opened two daily image comms and (2) a week after I made it so that non-LJ user comments get screened.

Because I am still painfully (and it is literally painful; I am going cross-eyes and have bitten my nails until my fingers are bleeding) aflicted by writersblock and LJ still hates me.
