The page was above. I think all I did was click on the CLEAN UP SCAN. It took 3 hours.

PS: Still don't get why a system restore did not bring everything back to normal???

It says it gives you the 'option' to delete files and gives a report at the end to show deleted files. Did you see this?

Have you tried http://www.recuva.com/yet, it recovers deleted files!

What operating system have you got?

[MomNEEDShelp]

I have XP.

I am scared to download anything on this PC since the memory is so low.

Can I do a restore to 2 days ago and will that make my pics show up again?

(SO MANY THANKS!)

Do you know anyone who knows Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer ) that could follow the directions given ? ?

I'll give it a go.

Double click on My Computer
Double click on Local Disk (C:)
Double click on Documents and Settings
Double click on Your User Name
Double click on My Documents
Double click on My Pictures

Now do you see your pictures there?

[MomNEEDShelp]

Thanks for the easy directions....


I do not see MY PHOTOS folder or anything saying 'photos/pictures'.

Double click on My Pictures

So you didn't see the 'My Pictures' directory above and never got to double click on it?

A latent thought here...

Were your photos in the My Photos directory or the My Pictures directory?
There is a world of difference between them.
Remember you browsed to the directory when you tried to attach the photos.

No guys... I am flying solo with the only help coming from you all.


All I remember is hat there was a yellow folder named MY PHOTOS that I would click on.


If I do a system restore back to Monday, will I fix this big mess??? Can I go back that far??

[patio]

Yes by all means...if you have a Restore point from that day...

I would also check that Programs Help files...if it's a 1/2 way decent program it should be able to undo any changes made when it was ran...
