Problems with "Windows eXPired".

E.TE.T Quote-o-matic
Now Wincrash really did it!

Last night I was "browsing" one of hard drives and surprise, surprise XP just decided to work on its own.
So as you can guess it deleted few directories!

I wonder is it saying to me that I should make fresh install of it because installation is 1½ year old.
And because last year it also pulled tricks few times. (First it didn't give any response for few seconds then mouse cursor went nuts and raced all over the screen and opened minimized windows and often opened program's File or some other menu)


It's good that Windows only deletes markings from File allocation table because I got almost all files back with this:

I think full version of it would be good to have.
At least now when I'm village's contact person or "helpdesk" (well not that I wouldn't have been that earlier :D) in province's broadband/ADSL project.

    Well, doublecheck made and no trace of viruses so I guess that is just XP which starting to decay.

    That [i]really[/i] sounds like a virus to me, though it could be a mouse/mouse driver problem. I've never seen XP do anything like that.

    I had Win2000 delete all of my music one night... I had everything in the My Albms folder, went to sleep, woke up in the morning and the folder was empty. I checked the time stamp on the folder, and it showed being created around 3:00am that morning. I was not impressed.

    And it couldn't have been a virus. No net connection at home, so no openings for them.
  • winXP, lost my webdesign folder some time ago from one day to another.. no virus/trojan or anything, simply disappeared... :mad:

    On one finnish forums someone had case where he was runnind scandisk and it suddenly destroyed 115GBs of data. (If I'll remember right it was W2K SP4)
    There was no viruses in PC also in that case.

    Guys, disappearing data is usually the case of a failing hard drive.
