Computer Problems: FIXED!!

Finally after months my Archival Computer is back up and running, while I still have to install drivers for the graphics card I've gotten LibreOffice working (turns out I was using the wrong version) and after doing a quick check on the last word doc I edited before this whole thing happened I can happily confirm it's all there as I left it.

However, I can confirm that the two lost word docs are truly gone, but luckily one was just a rewrite of a personal story and I still have the original unmodified one so that's not really a lost, and the second didn't have that much on it so remaking it won't be that much of a hassle.

Now getting LibreOffice working was a bit of a chore: So I plugged in my external drive, tried to click-and-drag (which for some reason copied it instead) and transferred the program to my Archival Computer, it copied again instead of just moving (but at least I now have the installer on my external for when I need it), and installed the program which unlike before actually went in fine...

Only then I got a "Entry Point Not Found" error.

I restalled the program four times and same result, so as you can likely guess I was pretty upset about this. THEN I realized something; as an XP Computer it was missing its Service Packs 2 and 3, so I installed those...

And now it works! 👍

Now I do still have some tinkering around to do, but beyond that it is back in business.
