Computer problems resolved?

It looks like I may have my computer problems (mostly) solved!  I even set up my printer, and it prints beautufully.  For which I can only say I'm exceedingly glad.  I still don't have my old files, but the Family Computer Guru says he has a solution for that, in about a week.  So WhI guess I can do most things, though I'd really like my old files, so I can finish up the rewrite of my Great Medieval Science Fiction Masterpiece With Neandertals.  Whether I can interest anybody in publishing it, is another story altogether.
