Hi Thomas :)

Yes I know, I should have , I have been so busy lately
and have been using it for several years and never had it
happen to me like that though.

Checked the temp folder. Nothing :( I realize the longer
the wait the less the chance of recovery. I haven't been
doing anything else on computer though, although I have
pretty much given it up and decided I best just get busy
and redo them..the thing that got me was that the work
was done on two previous days .. saved, computer shut
down and the whole works ... I guess that is what made
it so unbelievable and unbearable. If I had
been "Creating" at the time it would have been more
acceptable.. not liked but more acceptable :(

I actually had to instances of FP open at the same time
which I have done many times before, no problems, was
just going to switch webs and update a page with a new
name and when I click the directory, FP locked up,
tighter than drum, 3 finger salute to get out ... yes
that was the the directory that housed the files, I had
created those files on weds and thurs of last week,
closed down all was good, friday night got on to change
a name and upload the the files and that is when it
happened !! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i am still just sick over
it.

Front page was running, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, and
two instances of IE and OE. (yes I know too much lol, I
do that regularly though with no problems, this is the
first time FP has ever failed me like this and I have
been doing this for several years.) :(

BIG LESSON learned.
