EVERYTHING is gone!

Post by Blockparty »

I just started freestyler and realized that EVERYTHING I've ever done is gone, EVERY LITTLE THING!
Locations, Fixtures, Pictures, Scenes, Cues, everything!

I restarted, because this couldn't be real, but it is. I've checked every directory manually -> all empty.
Even the Backups are gone, every single one! If I check my windows search it finds my locations and stuff, but the directory is empty.
Even the Fixtures I modified are all back to Factory setting, as if someone deleted and reinstalled Freestyler.
This is the biggest Nightmare I've ever had since I started mobile DJing.
Friday (26.06.2015) was the last day I used the netbook with freestyler on a party and everything was normal. Now I start it and it is like I just installed Freestyler.
All this were days and weeks of programming, illustrating and much more.

If anyone has a Idea what I can do PLEASE help me, I'm done if I can't restore anything!

Thanks in advance..

Alright, I already found something out!
After letting the Windows search search through my whole computer for some time, it found some matching files in file size.

Some files are now (for whatever reason) no more located in:
Normal directory:
C:\Program Files\FreeStyler
but instead in:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\FreeStyler

I hope everything is there, I'm still searching!

@All: If anyone has the same problem:
I could fix all the errors. I just copied the files from:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\FreeStyler
To the correct directory and overwrote files that already existed. Now everything started up as usual!

Wish you all good luck if it happens to you.

@Partyman: Yes, I did Backups, but the files weren't located in the backup directory anymore, thats the problem!
I now saved the current session on an external USB-drive and hope this never will happen again.
