Now it's Monday and I'm on the floor with my home businesses.  Don't ever think a home business is easy or get rich overnight...

I'm re-installing Windows XP-SP3 on an older machine.  I try to install Adobe Flash and warnings prevent me from installing Active X programs.  I'm in  such a hurry, so I go into Internet Explorer options trying to quickly find where I change the security settings to allow Active X.  And of course there's so many options available it takes forever to find the right one.  Just to install Adobe Flash...

Everything went fine until I used a 2 year old floppy to install a driver, apparently it contained some kind of virus. Messed up my MBR and had to repeat the process all over again (wiping the hard drive - a several hour process). Moral of the story; do a virus scan on any old floppies and then write protect them! &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/bmR9m7" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://bit.ly/bmR9m7&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6959469-7556743561128201490?l=balljd.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HowAbout-Balljd/~4/MDhvHkoJXSI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://balljd.blogspot.com/feeds/7556743561128201490/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6959469&amp;postID=7556743561128201490" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6959469/posts/default/7556743561128201490?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6959469/posts/default/7556743561128201490?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HowAbout-Balljd/~3/MDhvHkoJXSI/decided-to-do-complete-wipe-and-restore.html" title="" /><author><name>Jim</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09785820856251182765</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="24" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_162sRhMnmFg/St0YlJQdKlI/AAAAAAAADgc/RVUfCausp1w/S220/Jim+Beach+(Small).JPG" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://balljd.blogspot.com/2010/08/decided-to-do-complete-wipe-and-restore.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkEBQ344fCp7ImA9Wx5RGEk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959469.post-8736622895323892782</id><published>2010-08-26T10:44:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-26T10:44:12.034-07:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2010-08-26T10:44:12.034-07:00</app:edited><title /><content type="html">
