| 509747 | 2006-12-26 21:07:00 | I tried the programs as suggested but was unable to recover pics. Sorry to say,these sorts of programs never seem to ask me to do things which I quite understand,so anyway folks I really appreciate all your help,but thus far I haven't mentioned to SWMBO. |

| 509749 | 2006-12-26 21:52:00 | Try the recovery programs suggested the other day in Billy's thread (www.pressf1.co.nz). The one I suggested, Digital Photo Recovery: photorec.exe, has been mentioned a few times in the past as being very good. I hope you haven't been using that card since deleting the photos as your chances of success will diminish significantly. |

| 509750 | 2006-12-26 22:00:00 | Hi C. I'm probably twice your age and hate to force experience on anyone -but do believe that the sooner you tell SWMBO the better...... with sympathy.:cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 509751 | 2006-12-26 22:10:00 | Yeah, tonight Scouse. But let him have one (or three) more tries first. ;) | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 509752 | 2006-12-26 23:15:00 | Hi Ciccy Whatever you do, don't write to the card, and tell SWMBO asap! A couple of days of silence might be a blessing while you work out how to use the programs. If you check the link Foxy provided to my thread you will find my final summary, and that all the programs I used worked well, but one recovered more data than any other. That is not necessarily a good thing, especially if your card has oodles of deleted photos going back many months, as mine did. I suggest that you create a folder in your computer, copy two or three image files to it, delete them, then practice finding your way around the recovery programs to recover them until you are confident that you know what you are doing. Then go back to the card and try again. It is not rocket science, but I acknowledge that the instructions for most programs can use a little work to make them user friendly. Cheers Billy *<8-{)= |

| 509753 | 2006-12-27 00:32:00 | We have visitors at the moment,hence the delay in getting back to you all and sorting prob. I have used third program.....digital image recovery,it says ir has recovered and delivered to documents and settings,so went there and found what appeared to be my pics,but they are there as NTUSER dat file and of course can't be opened. Will give B's idea a go,but don't like my chances. |

That's not your photos, they will be recovered an numbered JPG files. Make a new folder on the root (straight off C:/) and call it "all recovered images" or something similarly identifiable, specify that as the destination for your recovered files then try again. All the programs I tried allowed me to specify where they went once recovered. Using an A as the first letter of the file name brings it to the top of the tree and makes it easier to find. AA is even better. Cheers Billy *<8-{)= |
