2nd send Re: Oh Gracious--Elves Destroyed My OE Overnight

[Pappion]

I have XP Pro, IE 6.+ w. SP2, and all MS updates are automatic; AVG, Zone
Alarm, DSL 1000-something with a internal modem w. router; AdAware, all run
2-3X/week, plus HouseCall twice a month. Never had intrusions, Trojan,
Virus, etc. New HP Invent DeskTop, with all new parts in CPU (warranty
issue). All's been fine. As a blind-user, I use ZoomText, and other
programs (Dragon, Kurzweil, etc) but not auto-load...only used ZoomText
yesterday. I also have Skype and Calnique but they are not
auto-loaded--they were not running yesterday. However, I noticed that my OE
was running slowly yesterday, and twice compacted "All Folders," which is
usually unnecessary.

(Note: When I was having problems with my "Power Supply" button [a faulty
one had come with the new computer], I once lost all of my OE, and
switched identities, and brought everything back in by "Import Messages"
/Address Book.
I do have backed up everything on thumb discs (Scandisk), as of Dec 1st
but not lately...because they were copying my HD folders backward, and I
was trying to figure out what to do about changing the order--its a
challenge using a Screen Reader. *smile*)

My IE evidences all the URLs I opened yesterday, as well. When I shut
down, I closed IE, and OE, turned off ZoomText, then Start, Turn Computer
Off...everything went well. After shut down, I turned off my power
supply/surge protector. The speakers and scanner are on a separate
electrical outlet.

I just turned on power supply, then CPU, and all of my OE folders are gone
(contents all right in individual sub-folders), SENT mail has disappeared,
and my NGs were gone.

I'm not even sure if I'm back on the right MS XP NG or not...Malke was one
of our "helpers" on the prior MS-XP Pro NG.

What could have happened? There was no power to computer since I signed
off last night, and turned off surge suppressor, and no electrical or
phone problems since, either.

I had run AdAware yesterday...only 4 items that were of no consequence
("not serious") were found. Used IE6

When someone has the time, would you please advise me?

Thank you very much.

Mistaken. But, my Sent item appeared, after I shut down, and now they're
gone again, too. This is weird.

also gone.
