EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lori]

I believe the "back in time" available with XP only
changes the registry settings, and does not affect data.
Is this what you found?

My document was 24 pages of very time-intensive and time
sensitive detailed work. I can't believe all the
versions that I saved didn't save, and got "invalid file
path" on the floppy for the same document. Very
frustrating.

Thanks, anyway!
Lori

Two cautions:

1. If you're working with a file on a floppy, you're asking for grief.
Sooner or later the file *will* become unavailable. Never save a document
directly to a floppy or open one directly from a floppy. Always copy from/to
the HD.

2. If you open a document directly from an email and edit it, the document
is saved in a temporary folder. As soon as you quit Word, it is deleted.
Always save the document in a document folder (such as My Documents) before
working on it.

Hi Lori

If your second posting was in answer to my reply, then permit me to say that
a data recovery tool is not a 'back in time' tool.
You are right about the latter but the former can still help you.
