Unfortunately my PC crashed and i had to reinstall windows which wiped everthing I think. Is there any way to get back all my pictures i had as i know the police can do it to paedo's? System restore doesnt work...

Also, when i scroll down on internet pages it doesnt go smoothly, is this to do with the refresh rate or something?

I had the same prob at the weekend I deleted my brief case contence and empty the recycle bin will an XP system restore bring back these files????

[Superal]

it should do although i wouldn't be surprised if it dont as system restore is crap and the first thing i disable when i install xp...

I did actually burn a copy of my brief case to a cd but when I try to open it gives some message about unable to access it as in use or soething?

sorry mate but chances are that if you installed xp then it would have formatted your harddrive removing every piece of memory before installing it making it totally impossible to recover your files!

it may be possible to recover after a format, i'm not sure

when your computer deletes something, it just marks the segment on the hard drive to be overwritten, so until it is actually overwritten by more data, it is still there. not sure if formatting wipes all the data anyway or not. try getdataback. its on download.com

Yup thats right. All depends on whether you selected to do a quick format of the Hard Drive partition or whether you did a full format where the whole drive is actually blanked.
