It isnt in hte recycling bin If you didn't delete it on purpose and it's not in the trash bin, there's a good chance that it's not deleted. You may have accidently dragged and dropped it into another directory. Disregard the next paragraph if you've already ran the 'find' program to search the disks. Right click the start button then choose the 'Find' option. Type the word NASCAR2 in the 'Named' box. Click the down arrow on the 'Look in' box then choose 'My Computer'. Make sure the 'include sub folders' box is checked. Now, Click 'Find now'. This will search all of the disks and directories in your system for the occurence of the word 'Nascar2'. If the files/directory don't show up maybe you should do a scan disk to be sure you don't have any lost clusters. If you still can't find anything then...well...reload yor CD and pray. Good Luck, Mike Radler
YOU REINSTALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A DUMB QUESTION MOST SIMPLIEST WAY OF GETTING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay guys, I told him to reinstall it too and he sent me an email saying that his mom had taken it away until Christmas. So, he did not give us all of the scenairo. Now, we must devise a plan. I think he should dress in black, get a gun, and steal the game from his mother. Then put it under the Christmas tree real early in the morning on Christmas Day. He would get his game back, and everyone in the house would believe in Santa Clause.

It is quite simple, actually. A computer trick known by gurus is that a secret copy of everything ever installed resides hidden in your hard drive. All you have to do is unlock it. There is a underground command called "format" that contains several clever "scare-tactics" to persuade you not to use it. All you have to do is type FORMAT C:(In which C is the letter assigned to your hard drive), and confirm. Although it says that all data will be lost, the truth is that you will restore your copy of Nascar 2 and any other software that you may have lost. Unfortunately, Microsoft has used this message to hide the software that we pay for from us. Just be glad that we have the newsgroups to bring us together.

This is kinda like a soap opera. Just follow the plot in here, this is great. RaZoR-BLaDE gets the pullitzer prize here though.

You might get a lOCK warning from WIN95, just undo the LOCK, run the undelete and it should work. -- Lannie Schafroth Pathworks Network Administrator Iowa Network Services, Inc.
