Well, for the 3rd time today my PC restarted itself while I was typing a response.

I think I'm going to have to reformat to get rid of whatever worked it's way onto my computer. The problem is, I have tons of stuff that needs to be put onto disks before I lose it all. I have a lot of programs, such as Flash MX and CoolEditPro, MS Word, Planetarium Gold, all of which I got with the PC when I bought it off a friend. That means I will lose it all :(

And I also have about 25 CD's backed up onto WMP. And that alone is a HUGE hassle. *sigh*

My DSL connection is downloading at an average speed of 2.5 kb/sec, lowest I've ever seen it. This will be the first time I've had to reformat a PC in 3 years. Is there any way to keep all my programs and files without burning them all to CD's? I remember the one time I did reformat, I lost everything.
