PC Frustration

Why is it that PC's are just crap?
They seem to go wrong with me a lot, and it's always on a Tuesday.
Ok, maybe not always Tuesday, but it feels like it.

My PC has decided that the one program I use all the time (Flash 8) isn't allowed to work anymore. No warning, no reason, it just won't work.
I've tried re-installing it over the present install. Didn't work.
I then removed it and re-installed it. Didn't work.
I've tried every removal, repair or re-install combination I can think of and it just doesn't want to know.

As I type this, I'm into the 3rd hour of trying, and that was my last attempt to make it work. It didn't.

Why? Hell knows.
It means that all the fancy shiznit I have in my head that I want to do with the top banner of this site can't be done, and every menu or splash intro for other peoples sites can't be opened.
All this makes me want to kill someone.
