Programs gone!

[Guest]

I downloaded iTunes, Windows messenger, Picasa etc and then all of a sudden
they were gone from my computer. Over the weekend the computer I believe
re-started and then all the programs were gone!

I even searched the hard drive and the program files acted like they were
NEVER there. I have never heard of Windows totally erasing a program, can
anyone help?!?!?

Sounds like you need to log on to your original

Since you never did a normal shutdown or restart of your computer before the
weekend which have insured the saving of all new options etc. Is it possible
that the computer had a power failure causing the computer to turn off and
that it rebooted as a result of some other action?

System Restore will do it. If the programs yo have installed were not there
at the date you take your computer back to, they won't be there.
