This thread should have ended after stating there was no way of recovering the data (reliably) without finding those CDs.

It's called providing support?

When they've bought something that they obviously want to use, there might be a way to help them to use it that they don't realise.

I'm not pretending it's going to help with the lost data, I'm just trying to provide a solution to a problem, no need to be so rude about it.

ok guys, be calm, thank you, u r so nice, the basic problem was the message log, i was given the answer.

Okay, no worries, just thought I'd try to help you with the other problem as I'm guessing you didn't want the money to be wasted.  The support will still be here if you decide you want it at a later date

Thank u very much.

He doesn't have a problem with software not working, his software works perfectly fine. His software would only break if he followed your "advice" and "upgraded" to Windows 7.




providing*, btw.

He was actually saying that the hardware was a problem.....which I find hard to believe of a 3 year old computer.  I just wanted to see what the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor said as there might be an easy way around it.
