While adding to the code of my WIP today (I am at 63,000 words), my system crashed. It crashed while I was typing. I am using a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 on it. What happened was, while I was typing, suddenly the screen went black with a blue box saying something about ‘dumping’, then it blacked again and went into restart, then checkdisk. When that was done, it went to my desktop, only now it’s black and says that my copy of Windows is not genuine, and I need to either reinstall Windows 7 or restore the system(this copy of Windows came with the laptop). And when I restart, a box appears saying that an unauthorized change was made to Windows, plus ‘reinstall or restore’. Could this have anything to do with Inform 7?? Inform 7 has not yet given me any notification that I need to change memory limits(given my word count). I have no problem with backing up my files and programs(as soon as I can get out and get a USB stick, I will do this) and resetting my system, I just feel I need to know if this problem may be connected to Inform…??
I am so pissed off–I have worked on this game for some time now and I have other writing on this computer.
Thanks!
