Re: I think I broke my computer, please help!
If all your files are still intact but you cant start the programs you will have to reinstall the programs. If you use office download open office. IT runs all the same things but its free. Visit a local store that sells computer equipment and get yourself a UPS. You may spend $30-$80 depending on how long you want the computer to run but you wont have the issue of the cat unplugging the cord and shutting off your computer. UPS' are also good for power surges and some come with software that if your computer were on during a power outage and you weren't home it would save everything for you and shut down on its own. I have saved many projects by having a UPS. Also replace the recepticle so its a tighter fit.
