Hi guys, have a little request, 'cause I can't solve it after hours and hours of trying.

My pc is going crazy, I have like 25 pages of essay that I was going to save on my disk, but because it was full, it replaced that document of 25 pages somewhere else, and I think its in the thrashcan(???), but the problem is I can't open the trashcan, it gives me a warning that it couldn't open it and so on, can you guys help me to solve it, cause its a looooot, and you can imagine how it is to start all over again.

Please help me, I beg of you :cry:

if you know the name of the file, you can always uuse the "search" tool in the "start" panel. hope it helps!

Can't you use Windows Explorer to look into the trashcan?

if you had no disk space it cant have saved it to anywhere

Dan is right. If you didn't have the space to begin with, then the files wouldn't have saved to the hard drive at all. You would have receieved a message stating that there wasn't enough space. The files also wouldn't go directly to the trash if there wasn't enough space. The best you can do is to try and search for the file type of the files you saved.

Thanks a lot guys, I'm on it...

how can you have your hard drive so full that you cant save a TEXT document? You know that it is suggested to have 10% of your hard drive free at all times?

Use internet explorer to look in the trash can. When I dbl click my trashcan, i get an error too. To open, I RIGHT click on it and select OPEN or EXPLORE.

You might also want to open Word and look in the history. You can open the last saved documents so if you saved it, you should have that document listed in FILE.

Or also... go to START -> SEARCH and have your comp search for *.DOC that will search for all .DOC files and look there.

Now i ran out of ideas. If those dont work, sorry mate.
