hi all,
basically i think i've screwed up big time.
i was running win 7 as normal editing some photos when it suddenly froze and logged me out. when i logged back in i couldn't do anything with the desktop- just wouldn't let me click on anything on there. i'm a pro photographer and needed to get to the photos on my desktop. i called up a guy out of gumtree and he came round to sort it. basically he didn't really know much. he just ignored the virus and said he'd install win8 for me and said that that would get rid of the virus, my stuff would be back and i'd have win8. after a few HOURS he finally managed to install win 8 but couldn't see my photos or programs or anything (looking in the ' windows old' folder. there's nnearly £700 pounds worth of photos on there!! (didn't get chance to back them up :()
any ideas?
thanks :confused:
