I got back a deleted file using this program:
http://www.piriform.com/recuva and it's free! I hope this helps you. Now go to box.net and open a free account. Upload any file you want to save there. Pictures too. If you need more space, go to mosey.com and open a free account and save there. I have pics saved on one and files another. One good thing about saving online is I can access any file or pic from any computer and give access to anyone to see a file or pic or just one page or one pic. I quit saving files to a flash or external drive. I pay for internet let the internet store it. I also up load all my pics to Google albums, one click in the Picasa program (free) and the pictures are safely uploaded. I pay for Carbonite. It saves everything on my computer. A new computer, a few clicks and all my stuff is put on it right where I had it on the old one. |

If you go to your computer's clock and set it back in time to before you deleted the pictures, it will be as if nothing happened. They will be there.

That is so sad. I hope you can get them back.

I tried this just now. I deleted a picture and waited and set the clock back and nothing happened. I'm using Vista. Maybe the date has to change? |

I thought if I did system restore it would bring them back. Nope. Gone. <sniff sniff>
At least I can get the internet patterns again but all my personal stuff is gone forever. Well, that is what I get for cleaning!!! It always ends badly. |
We must all remember to BACK UP! Every few months I copy my files to a CD. Even if I leave them on the computer I will still have the CD files to reload if something happens to my computer. I'll even backup my bookmarks and email addresses.
Remember computers are not perfect and they do crash! They are only machines after all. |
