Today, I found my brother tampering with my laptop. He had changed the entire settings, in ways I don't even know how to fix. I finally had to get my mom to threaten him to change it back to its original setting. I'm 15. He's six and can barely get dressed by himself. FML

Today, my brother "pranked" me by dropping my new laptop out my bedroom window. He'd set up a saran wrap safety net below to catch my laptop safely, but he didn't secure it well enough. My laptop is completely fucked and he won't accept responsibility because he didn't mean to break it. FML

Today, my brother yelled at me, calling me a "no-good fucking whore", because I couldn't fix his laptop. The same laptop he threw on the floor after screaming "FUCKING HEAL MEEE!" at his game. As ever, my parents took his side, refusing to believe that I can't fix a cracked monitor. FML

Today, our work computers are down so I've been trying to fix it via my home computer for 3 days. My 12-year-old son took one look at the screen, changed 2 settings on a drop down menu, and the problem was fixed. My 12-year-old is better at my job than I am. FML

Today, my brother changed the password on my laptop so that I can't log into my profile. All my notes for school are on it and finals start on Monday. Guess who can't remember the new password. FML

Today, I got a computer. When I opened it, I found out that my dad had made himself the administrator. He made it so everything shut off after 11 o'clock, and made it so I couldn't download anything without his password. FML

Today, I woke up from a nap to find my little brother playing some games on my phone. A few hours later I come to find he had deleted all 500 pictures from my trip to Europe last month. He needed more space to download the games. Mom says he's too young to understand what he did wrong. He's 14. FML

Today, my brother thought it would be funny to disable my iPod Touch for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, I went to enter my password. I missed a number accidentally. 50 minutes to go. FML

Today my brother disconnected my internet and made my task bar disappear. I spent 2 hours trying to fix it, when I figured out I just had to restart the computer. Now I'm a little behind on assignments. FML

Today, my little brother got mad at me, so he colored the entire screen of my new iPod Touch with a black sharpie. FML

Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML

fyl for not knowing how to run a system restore.

System restore certainly fixes everything, but not always necessary. Just do some googling and you'll figure it out. If you do restore, make sure you backup anything important cuz everything will be wiped out if you do a full restore. A partial restore may not fix the problem.

Why do people assume that Windows System Restore makes changes to files? It only restores the settings, registry, and system files.

#129 the OP said the settings, therefore a system restore should work.

135, he also said "backup your stuff it could wipe out your important files", the person you corrected was right.

they always do that to me too... The disappearing comment thing... though it could be my iPod... & Op, ever heard of a password? they tend to work, especially if it's a long one. I'd think kids your age grew up with computers, and became familiar with them enough to be able to fix them... I got a computer in the house at 13 or 14, had one for 7 or 8 years, and can do quite a bit with it when it comes to fixing it and stuff...

hahah the mods did change it. but I preferred the previous 10 years in outer space with only a stuffed monkey and some orange peel for company.

I doubt he did it deliberately. Probably messing with the control settings and pressed something he shouldn't have? But wouldnt admit it was an accident just to piss ya off.

2: my neighbor has a 13yr old boy and 3 yr old daughter. The girl is a major brat and always breaking the older siblings belongings. I once saw her hurl his ipod, speakers to the cement ground while he was playing basketball. The boy Aaron was pissed and went over to spank her and his mom yells: Aaron dont you touch her! His mom didnt discipline the younger one either (I dont think the mom ever does). So thats how a younger sibling can rule the nest.
