hallelujah!
My computer finally fully works again. First, Firefox and Mozilla broke, so I did some maintenance to fix that; that maintenance made Dreamweaver (the program I use the most) break.
The solution that eventually worked was to reinstall the system software without bringing over my preferences—a big-ass pain, since I then had to fix permissions on most of the files I had to bring over—and now everything works.
I did, however, lose a few emails. Again, a pain, but not a giant problem.
The key thing is that my productivity is back. A recommendation: Do not try to convince yourself that Adobe GoLive is an adequate substitution for Dreamweaver. It's not. At all.
