Well, recently, I've lost all my writing. I've told a few of you and so some of you know how heartbreaking this was, and how much of a mess I was. My writing was my world, I had four novels and over 50 poems that I put all my heart into.. and now it's all gone. Anyway, before I start crying again, I'll give you the more important information. All of ym writing is here, it's staring right at me when I search it up on my computer, but when I try to open any of it, I get this message: I never had it saved to anything other than my computer.. So I wouldn't be missing a disk or anything .-. I'm not really sure what to do with it.. I don't know where to go from there. I don't know if it's a vista thing, but if it is.. Brynn save me ;__; <3. If anyone could help me recover my writing, I don't know how I'd ever repay you. I'd be so happy that I'd cry, I'm not even kidding <3. So if anyone has -any- idea what this is about, and why it's not openable, pleeeeaaaase let me give it a try. I'll seriously do anything right now.. So I hope you're understanding my pain here xD. Thank you so much <3.

When it comes up like that try right clicking and have it take you to the file's location... Also... are there more than one login names for that computer?

I don't know a whole lot about Vista... maybe it's doing that weird folder-hiding thing I hear it does with some of the Petz folders. Wish I could help. x.x That would be painful.

Ashia: Nope, this is just my laptop, I'm the only user that has an account.
Space Case: That's what I was thinking, but I checked the hidden folder thing and they're already turned on @_@
Edit: Thank you for suggesting something thought ^_^<3

Clover, have you tried going into the Sekrit Hiding Place and browsing through the folders there to see if the files were moved there by Vista? That would explain why they're showing up in search, but not when you try to open them.
EDIT: Silly goose, why didn't you PM me? XD I am ze Vista Beating Mistress.
EDIT EDIT: Looking at the screen cap, it looks like Vista's hiding them in the Sekrit Place. Try going manually to the location that the search brings up, and seeing if you can find the files.

-Bows down to vista beating mistress-
And where would I find the secret hiding place @_@ I right clicked the items in the search and looked at their properties, where it told me that they were in my writing folder in my documents, BUT, my writing folder isn't there T__T So then I went into my C-Drive and went into my documents from there, but it's not there either. Ughh <_<;

Don't worry everyone, I'll return her in due time.
There's two types of Windows users in the world - those who have been abused by Vista and those who will be abused.

Don't worry Kika, you're not alone. Thought I"m not a lover of it, persay, I don't think it's as evil as most make it out to be. I agree. I don't like Vista myself, but the same thing happened when XP surfaced. There were lots of bugs and everyone was frustrated and fed up. I admit they have worked alot of issues out with Vista, but it just seems like as soon as one system becomes stable, it's obsolete. Nonsensical, I tell you what. >.<
