I'm on Windows XP, set with auto up dates, service pack current. IE8 but use Firefox
Yesterday evening, I rebooted with use of a password. Desktop wouldn't finish loading up. It would act as if it restarted again with out shuting down and go back to enter password. By use of recovery it's running but lost everything saved.
Would anyone know what causes this and what to do if it happens again with out the loss?
edit:
Picasa is recovering images - Eventually, I hope to figure out the rest asap then I will start over with a disk that is suppose to clean everything up. In a google search, the closest result I can find to the symptom is a memory problem, there was quite a bit saved in the form of documents, pdf, links, add ons to the browser ect. had some items saved on disc's. time to move on to other methods of file storage.
