Jerry: You've just joined a club that wishes it had no members. 🙁 Tim's suggestion of copying any files you can still see at the DOS level is going to get at least a few files back for you and is a good suggestion. You owe it to yourself to download version 1.5 of the PAR software as this deleting projects bug is allegedly fixed. Please tell us all that you have a version of the PAR software prior to v1.5. I have tried deleting projects with version 1.5 twice and I had no drive corruption, my fingers are still crossed. Before you start copying your files to a DOS drive be warned that versions of the PAR software before 1.5 have been known to cause file corruption in animations of over 896 frames. So, before you copy them off, split them into smaller segments if you can. Optimizing the drive,if you can, may give you back a few files. You may see files jump directories, projects magically rename themselves and other anomolies like old animations reappearing. I wish I had better news for you. Bob
