I'm putting my two cents worth in, again. Check my reply back about to post 52 or 53, somewhere around there. It's titled "A lesson archiving" or something similar,posted by SixPack Wolf,I think. Anyway, all may not be lost. My reply concerns a program called "Recover 98". I keep spreading the word, because its so easy and effective. The company should pay me for all the free PR I'm giving it. It's an application that works! It saved my "you know what" when the disk I had my Poser and Bryce D/L zips on, totally crashed and I thought I'd never recoup my losses. Most of the files hadn't even been unzipped yet. I hope this can help a lot of people. I know it worked for me.
