I signed on to my computer about 45 mins. ago but when I turned the thing on it kept giving me a pop up window saying that I didn't have my personal settings set up for Windows XP (which is what I am running and have been running for the past 6 years since I've had this thing). Anyway, it runs all the settings and when I go to look for my favorites everything was wiped clean. All my pictures are gone, my music is gone. It's like the hard drive was wiped clean. I just don't understand what happened because I didn't do a system restore. I just shut the computer off this morning when I left for work and then I come back to this.

WTH happened????? Anybody got any ideas?

Could have been a virus or it didnt boot up correctly

That has happend to me before, not sure what caused it but I had to reinstall every thing.. unless it you can do a restore to bring it back. It wouldnt let me do it tho..

Gremlins..

IDK...I'm just boggled by this. Now I have to go and add all my favorites back in. My pictures are lost....I just don't understand what happened.

Cat go to start and go to help and restore and when it comes up restore it back a couple of days that should fix it, I've had to do that before it if you want mail me and I will explain. I have xp to

Do you have any memory partition?
