Mmmmm....no Billy Ray eh... that's strange, well if it happens again I could probably help you but I would need to carefully analyse your complete song list.

Cheers Daniel.

Yeah but that's a generic fix that works for a LOT of things ;P

One other useful trick I've discovered while researching this issue:

Step 1: Place your telescope next to your computer.
Step 2: Go through your computer and find all songs by Pink that were placed there by your MOTAS.
Step 3: Delete all tracks found in step 2.

After deleting the two Pink albums my evil GF had surreptiously placed on my PC I was astounded to find my scope gained TWO WHOLE INCHES of aperture!



Next on my hit list: Duffy

Nah don't just delete the Pink albums, burn 'em to CD then take it outside to vent your anger by smacking the hell out of it with whatever can find within your each... shovel, rake, hose, swing set, small child, whatever. You'll feel better after it.

You may find a system re-install may be the answer Jen. Last time that sort of thing happened to my PC, it turned out to be a nasty little trojan virus. I did manage to remove it and get my PC back to normal but it wasn't the easiest of tasks. I was very close to just reformatting and starting from scratch. Sometimes its for the best.

When all else fails. FORMAT C: (Do you really want to do this ?) YES.

Thats the easy part, putting it all back on again is the hard part.

Not hard, just time consuming and boring. I do it every 12 months or so. just put a slab in the fridge and off you go.

Yep, boring it is. But a few bottles of Emu Bitter help to while away the time.
