combobites instead of combofix?
when in the wrong hands it sounds...
most of my photos are gone...the folders are there but the folders are empty



i had a bad feeling when i let him fool with it...he left the disc...i'll have to take a look at what it says...
Oh no, Maureen, you lost your photos? Do you have some of them up on your Facebook you could save? I just loved looking at your pictures. I really did.

EDIT: Combobytes = Bites you in the butt.

All those poor guys with their 'Windows problems'

Come on, what are you waiting for? Install Linux!

Cool! Tell us about your experience of it. I think many people are tempted to switch to Linux but are scared it will be too difficult and or they won't be able to get the software they need.

I don't have Linux, I'm working on Mac, but a very good friend of mine switched to Linux. He doesn't even want to talk about Microsoft anymore I should ask him for more details.
I know that all programs are for free and you can find them on the web.

That isn't exactly true, although it is for the most part. However, keep in mind two things about Linux and its widespread availability - there is very little "sponsored support", meaning you will have to search our your issues on the web, and trust that other people know what they are doing. Plus, the fixes can be complex because it generally isn't built with the tools that Windows or Mac OS, so you have to get into very sensitive command line functions.

But Linux is an increasingly attractive option in a lot of cases, the problems that made it so exclusive for years, as with Mac OS, are largely gone.

They may still be there somewhere. Try a "*.jpg" search in the C drive. It won't do any harm and may track them down.

Don't forget, you've about 130 photos on your albums here. They're safe! I can zip them and send them you if you want.
