My PC froze up a few days ago, so I had no choice but to turn it off my holding the power button in for a few seconds. The problem was when I turned it back on the next day, the PC acted like it was the first time I turned on ever (like I just bought it) asking me how I connect to the internet etc the settings I want to use etc, and Ive had this PC for almost a year. Well that for the most part is taken care off, if nothing else it was annoying to go through the real issue is I am missing a lot of files for example my Napster program is still on my PC but my music files are gone, Microsoft money 2007 is on my PC but my file I use that has all my financial info on it is missing. Like I have programs still on the PC that I installed after I first got it, but a lot of the files I use with them are missing. Now could it be that I had a created directory the files were in and now they are just "misplaced", its hard for me to believe that the files just got deleted but most programs are fine

If you have pertinent info you need in Microsoft Money it would be wise to take it to a reputable technician to recover the files. If your daring then try System Restore in the system tools of your programs to a time earlier than the malfunction. Remember when using System Restore that anything you did from the time chosen to now will be deleted. You can always download your Napster stuff again ( if it isn't copyrighted material ). Number one rule. Backup and often. Good luck!

If you backed it up on a disc, you are safe, if not, when it's gone it's gone.
