My computer died

A couple of weeks ago I loaded an old program of Photoshop on my computer.
A few days later it killed my computer. Apperently windows vista and any program that didn't come with it, are a bad mix. Now Dusty and I have to share. Can you believe it? Of course, I do realize now I spent way too much time on it. I just hope our very generous friend, who is working on it, can fix it.
