Lol, yeah. I managed to recover what I lost after a few hours, but there were some things in the original which were better than the things in my new one. Oh well. I would save more, but that particular song I was working on was the most CPU-intensive ever (just to hear it I had to export the whole thing every time) so to save it took around 10 seconds, and, well, I'm not that patient :P.

Step 2010-01-25 14:22:44

Well, it kept coming up with the message 'Windows has finished updating but must be restarted' and I can click 'restart now' or 'restart later'. Every time I click 'restart later', like an hour after it comes up with the same message, so to keep it from restarting I had to press 'restart later' every time. I never knew the computer would decide to restart without me clicking 'restart now'. Actually, I planned on saving and truly restarting my computer when I got back from the hairdressers, but well, my computer has a mind of its own.

Step 2010-01-30 08:14:32

Thanks man. I really need to get into the habit of saving more often, I mean it's only a Ctrl+S press away, but since the song I was working on had some heavy orchestration, it would take longer to save, and instead of taking only half a second to save as it usually does, it takes around 10 seconds. Oh well, as you said, better safe then sorry. I'd get a Mac, but I'm not really a fan of Macs xP. Besides, FL Studio isn't compatible with Macs :P.
Don't worry though, I remade the song (took half the time since I managed to remember most of the melodies) and I think it came out even better than before. Thanks for the support anyway :).

Oh noez.

Step 2010-02-09 13:46:45

Hm, even I always save my work before going somewhere. I really don't know why I didn't this time. Maybe I was in a hurry, or maybe my hair was so long that it covered the space from my eye to the save button, so of course I didn't see it xD.
Anyway, weird theory over. I hope this doesn't happen again :(. Actually, the song I was talking about is Cobra, in case you're curious :P.

Hehe, excuse my second post deletion, but I did something stupid with the mouse and the 'delete comment' button at the bottom of your double post, while the first comment was being answered :p.

Full, but the Silver Edition, which is the cheapest edition :).

Step 2010-02-09 20:10:31 (Updated 2010-02-10 04:58:41)

Yeah, but I have to wait 10 seconds or so for it to save since my songs are so complicated, so I get lazy and don't want to waste 20 seconds every 5 or 10 minutes xP. Oh well, it's the only alternative :\.

Step 2010-02-11 13:45:49

Fixed, lol. I counted, it was 8, and I rounded up to the closest 10 xD.

Step 2010-02-14 13:17:56

Way ahead of ya ;).

Step 2010-02-14 15:21:37

Comment-whore.

Step 2010-02-18 15:30:38

Yeah, Vista sucks :(. I wonder if Windows 7 misbehaves :O.
I really don't know what got into me: to go to the hairdressers without saving. Well, I was in a rush, but not enough to make me not have any time to even hit 'Ctrl+S'.

Now I turned off Automatic Updates anyway. I felt like shouting out 'In Your Face!' to the monitor when I switched off the Automatic Updates xD. Besides, all the Automatic Updates do is slow my computer down, since my OS isn't genuine (when we bought it we were ripped off by the typical service you see here in my country -.-) and so the updates won't be able update anything :(. But still, better to have no updates than updates which don't work :\.

Step 2010-02-27 10:47:50

I took away the updates, they shall never bother me again.

...unless of course Windows gets a mind of its own again and gets them back.

Step 2010-02-27 14:18:34

Agreed.
