The end of an era!!!

I'm SO sad right now!!! I've been sweeping for roughly a decade, and for the bulk of those years, I've used TurboSweeps. The program has served me well, and I've had MANY wins from it. Quite frankly, I don't know what I'd do without out it. Well, now I have no choice but to find out! Last night, there was a "burp" in our electrical system in the house - not a surge, mind you, but a split-second hesitation.... just enough to restart my computer. I was in the middle of doing my dailies, so of course it was a little irritating that I had to reload everything once the computer rebooted. But, tragedy struck! TURBOSWEEPS WOULDN'T RELOAD!!!! No matter what I did, it would crash as soon as it opened! I finally broke down and deleted it off my system, ran Disk Cleanup, defragged, and turned off my computer. It's been off the entire day while I've been at work. When I got home tonight, I fired up the computer, downloaded the program and installed (both cleanly - no reinstalls, no updates).... and it happened again... crashed as soon as it loaded. WAAAAAA!!!!!

So here's where I need advice: obviously, I'm going to have to go Robo now. I took a look at it last night, but it looks SOOOOOOOOOO complicated compared to TurboSweeps. I'm very very afraid! Will some of you "pro" Robo users please guide me through this? I really have NO clue about this program, and I'm still "grieving" over the loss of Turbo. Any assistance, kind words, good juju, etc, would be greatly appreciated!

(FYI - when it crashed yesterday, I had 390 dailies listed.... now I have to start all over again! WAAAAAAAAA!!!!! )

Yep. That's where I got the program from, both originally and when I installed it all over again today. I feel lost without it. I just don't know if I'm up to doing Robo. Why does life have to be so hard?!? WAAAAAAAA!!!!!

:sniff: :sniff: Thanks for the thought though! I appreciate it!

Hmm--that's strange...

I've used Sweep! for a long time, and I tried Turbo sweeps once. I didn't care for it. I think Sweep! is way better. What a great tool! Makes sweeping a breeze. If you can't get your Turbo Sweeps back up, try Sweep!

What is the difference between the two?

Don't you have to load your sweeps in those? I've just been going from sweep to sweep in "my sweeps" to enter with robo. Is there an advantage to using another program?

Have you tried doing a System Restore? You can set it to go back to before the power surge. Had to do this on hubby's computer recently after he started messing around with all sorts of settings and I didn't know how to reconfigure everything.
