For the life of me I can not find the thread we were
speaking in on the FP crash, I seen another thread with
a "Sonja" posting in on install but that is different
Sonja and I was wondering if you had answered my last
question in the thread we were talking in.
This newsgroup is funky to read. lol

Oh man, I just do not like this ng layout . LOL I use
ng's all the time but I can not find my way in this one.

I had the major crash and files disappeared, I looked
everywhere for them suckers and they are GONE GONE GONE.
I was wondering if you had any luck or every tried any
file recovery programs? This was some serious work I
lost, I still am floored that I lost it, I have never had
an FP crash like that and completely cook the files
before. We are talking several days of work, and of
course crashed on Friday, I usually back up on
saturdays!! ARGHHHHH
I really don't want to redo the whole thing and
understand that sometimes, you can recover files from
crashes and with the file recovery programs but most are
quite expensive and I am not about to lay out that kind
of cash without someone recommending one first.

Thanks

Like to have never found THIS thread again lol

You are using the web interface. You should subscribe to the newsgroup via
Outlook Express and be rid of the layout and navigation problems.

The only place that FP stores files is in the FP temp folder. Did you have all of these files open
in FP when the crash occurred, as I can not see FP delete any files that are not open at the time.

FP do not use the Recycle Bin, so unless you get a recovery application, which the longer you wait
the less like you will be able to recover anything useable.

What were you doing at the time of the crash, what applications where running?

In the future, you might want to consider backing up nightly or at least publishing to a remote
server that has the FP extensions.

Hi Thomas :)

Yes I know, I should have , I have been so busy lately
and have been using it for several years and never had it
happen to me like that though.

Checked the temp folder. Nothing :( I realize the longer
the wait the less the chance of recovery. I haven't been
doing anything else on computer though, although I have
pretty much given it up and decided I best just get busy
and redo them..the thing that got me was that the work
was done on two previous days .. saved, computer shut
down and the whole works ... I guess that is what made
it so unbelievable and unbearable. If I had
been "Creating" at the time it would have been more
acceptable.. not liked but more acceptable :(

I actually had to instances of FP open at the same time
which I have done many times before, no problems, was
just going to switch webs and update a page with a new
name and when I click the directory, FP locked up,
tighter than drum, 3 finger salute to get out ... yes
that was the the directory that housed the files, I had
created those files on weds and thurs of last week,
closed down all was good, friday night got on to change
a name and upload the the files and that is when it
happened !! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i am still just sick over
it.

Front page was running, Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, and
two instances of IE and OE. (yes I know too much lol, I
do that regularly though with no problems, this is the
first time FP has ever failed me like this and I have
been doing this for several years.) :(

BIG LESSON learned.

If you going to run that group of programs, consider get as much memory as you can afford.

I have seen some problems with have the same web open in multi FP Windows, but at most I just lost
the content of the pages that were open.
