I have no idea if this would work or not, but I was thinking about your problem of losing your 62% file. I used to go weeks working on a file download so I can share in your pain. Losing it like that is crap and I've been there....sucks monkey-butt. Anywho....I have W98 right now, but I used to have XP and when I had that system there was a feature I wish I had on this operating system. Maybe you could try the system restore button located in your control panel. For example, you could set your computer back to the day it went buh-bye. Maybe it will work.....just an idea.
