FAST Problems

[steven.james]

I used the File and Settings Transfer Wizard to make a backup of all of
my stuff before a clean format and reinstall.

Reinstallation went well, and after using the wizard to reinstall my
things (after a few scary minutes while it wouldn't work before running
windows update), everything seemed normal.

I then opened My Documents and was sick to find that it was completely
empty. Did FAST forget to include My Documents? Is there any way to
explore the inside of the .dat files? Fastconv didn't seem to work the
first time I tried it.

Search the hard drive for a known document name. It may be there
under a different user name.

Good luck
