Hi, Sorry I can't help you but don't do anything until someone can help you or you may overwrite the data you need to recover. I have used get back data from runtime (sponsor upper right main page)before and it worked fine. But wait for more advice so you don't loose it forever. Bluejay

You too Bluejay.Take a look at the other place I sent you the pm about. System restore only recovers system files, not deleted program files.
