Oh, yes everything is gone!  I have discovered that my story files still exist under the User folder as well as some of my other stuff.  I have spent the morning digging through folders and searching nearly every folder in windows looking for stuff.  (Do you know how many folders, sub folders, sub-sub folders, etc. there are on your computer!)  As far as stuff goes, it wasn't as bad as I thought, but all my emails, address book, as well as all my stuff in poser which really hurts is gone.  Any thing that I added into poser as characters, poses or saved files went out the windows, (small pun)  I finally got my email back up after two hours of waiting on the phone and about 30 seconds to fix the problem.  The reason that I post this was to warn other people that might have Vista or even XP as apparently it was the security patch that was downloaded last night and that patch was suppose to fix the hole in windows, well it did by filling in the hole with a lot of my stuff.

I really don't like APPLE, so I probably would never buy one, besides having to go back and buy all the software for it would more than double the cost of the computer.  I don't know if you remember it or not, but I liked IBM's OS2 Warp which in the early days was Window's main rival.  It would run anything Windows would run, was stable and had a lot of bells and whistles for it's time.  I tried Linux, but it doesn't run the stuff I use.  Being stuck between a rock and a hard place is no fun.  I sent MS a sarcastic message to their tech support and am waiting for a reply.  I'll let you guys know what happens....
Thanks
