Uh... Help!
Sep. 10th, 2006 09:02 pmUm. So.
My laptop froze about half an hour ago, after I'd been away from it awhile, and would not switch off until I forced it to (via holding down the power button.) When I turned it back on, I got a warning about 'not being able to access my user settings' or something to that effect when I signed on. I told it to continue anyway, to see what was going on, and when it loaded, all my files had gone. The programs were all still there, even the ones I downloaded (Firefox, GIMP, Second Life) but all the files frm Word or iTunes or whatever had gone.
Does anyone know what is the problem, and if it can be fixed? I mean, it's not the end of the world, but it is hella inconvenient to lose absolutely everything I had saved.
Um. Anyone? *Flails*
