Answer 1

Of course... a system restore. Great idea. You gave the credit card info to the site and lost the money, but reboot your PC, and the website, which is a totally separate company unrelated to your computer... will simply lose all record of the transaction.



Doesn't just work with gambling. I order a ton of stuff on-line (computers, games, books)... then after I print out the confirmation email, I re-boot and they never charge me... I send them a copy of the confirmation email the next day, so they know that I ordered the stuff, but they lost my credit card info.



Genius.

Answer 2

I will give you the step by step guide to system restore but before that let me tell you a system restore will only uninstall applications and software that you have installed in between the today and teh date that you are restoring it to, but will NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM



To use System Restore to restore Windows XP to a previous state, follow these steps:



1. Log on to Windows as Administrator.

2. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. System Restore starts.

3. On the Welcome to System Restore page, click Restore my computer to an earlier time (if it is not already selected), and then click Next.

4. On the Select a Restore Point page, click the most recent system restore point in the On this list, click a restore point list, and then click Next.



Note A System Restore message may appear that lists configuration changes that System Restore will make. Click OK.

5. On the Confirm Restore Point Selection page, click Next. System Restore restores the previous Windows XP configuration, and then restarts the computer.

6. Log on to the computer as Administrator. The System Restore Restoration Complete page is displayed.

7. Click OK.

Damn man hate to tell you but.......you are completly f-ed. Hope she dumps you that is the best case scenario for you. Also why the heck did u have her credit cards? You seem to have a gambling problem also. I dont even have a credit card they are evil cause i believe once your in dept you always will be even if you get out of dept you will get back into it sometime. Once in dept you never leave it.

Idk how to do that but keep in mind its either a fight with your girlfriend or the FBI on your ***. If i were in your situation i would definately pick the first option.
