well, fellas, looks like I'm out of the game.

I was hit by an old fashioned virus while I went to work thismorning. everything's been purged from the comp but the internet connection, including all saved mods, working mods, shortcuts, pics, etc. now I know why I lost all my personal pics a couple months ago. there are only three things on my desktop at all. an empty My Documents, IE, and the recycle bin

the odd part? the net connection, my onlines and such are still there, but there's no way to access either hard drive, or any program files
 
You should consider investing some money into an external HDD just in case another situation (hopefully not) happens like this. :p

I should actually back up my files myself, but i'm too lazy :lol:

But yeah, it kind of does sound like a corrupted windows partition from the sounds of it..


..then again it could be one of those bastard worms that lurk everywhere in your system and raise hell on random files :grumpy:
 
It could be a spyware program that hides your programs and user files.

Open up notepad and enter this.

Code:
 Taskkill.exe /T /F attrib.exe
attrib.exe C:\users\*name of profile* -H -S /S /D

And save the file anything.bat and run it.

It will unhide all files and folders and you should see your files again.
