Please Help

having just spent two hours finishing off a highly detailed vector i have been doing for a few weeks now, on illustrator, i saved it. The file was located on the I drive, which is the version on my iriver; so i save there, then save over the file on my desktop and another in a folder on my desktop (backups). Then i select the whole vector and get it to show just the line work and save that as skater_linework.ai on my desktop. All fine, or so i thought. I open up the colour version again from my desktop (skater.ai) and WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?!?! it's only f*cking gone back to what it was - not one save ago, but two. Every single file that i saved it as. The new layers i made have dissa-f*king-peared. What the hell can i do, please tell me becasue i am very close to throwing my laptop out the window right now.

I cant understand how this could have happened - i writed over three old files and all the layers i have done since 2 saves ago have dissapeared, gone, f*cked off. would a file recovery wizard help at all? is there anything i can do, because otherwise i have just wasted 5 hours of my life.

dont comitt suicide, its not that serious, just take a deep breath and start over.

 

^hahahahaha... i say you just kill yourself

 

lol... No way! Don't kill yurself for a vector, even if it's a frickin detailed vector that took you real long to do... It happened to me before... Be sure I understand what you're goin through... Off topic : Look at this site : lifeinvector.com

 

bleh it was a joke, the suicide that is. I really dunno what made it do that - 5 hours wasted ><

 

hhhhhhhhahahaha

lmao unlucky blunt ! (joka)

ok, do this:

start > all programs > accessories > system tools > System Restore

then select when you want to restore your systom to a specfic pont.

btw i know how you feal cause i got to the last leval of doom 3 and i didnt save it (turned of autosave) and then i just had a power cut ;(

worst day ever <_<

 

lol. my XP account doesnt work anymore, because of the comp froze.
thats sucks because all my stuff was in it.... and i secured it with a password.
so bye bye brushes fonts renders EVERYTHING ;(

 

hates power cuts, specially when ur doing work and stuff, or if someone trips over my laptop wire grrr.
Anyway make sure you save to a fresh filename instead of overwriting, might make ur problem go away.

and to neptune, never tell someone to kill themselves,
a) they might actually do it
B) if they do you could end up on the wrong side of the law (ever seen pump up the volume)

thanks for everyone's sympathy tho lol.

 

check your PM. I gave you a hint on how to hack any password even the admin one. Hope this is all that is wrong, and hope you can get your stuff off of it.
