MOTIONS/sad.gif Cyber, the files are still lost, but haven't had much time to search for them this week.

<CyberLemon> 

FTM creates backups automatically, have you tried opening them?

<CyberLemon> 

bummer, sorry Granny

<Granny> 

Nangirl, go to the bar at the top of this screen. Click on the first box on the left (face with??) When the screen box comes up, click on float, then go to upper left corner and click middle box.

<CyberLemon> 

yep, I do that to make AOL easier

<Granny> 

Cyber...where do you find the backups that it makes automatically? I have opened everything I can find. I really think it happened when #1 son sold my computer and installed the new one for me. Hopefully he still has all that backed up somewhere. I think he made a CD of everything I had on the computer. Just a matter of catching him and getting him to check it.
