Any clues or help greatly appreciated.
Have just downloaded a file from Acqusition (file share prog), a small file called something like "Word 2004 osx web download.sit" It was only something like 134k not the whole programme obviously. Anyhows, on opening the damn thing I appear to have lost all my saved files (IE favourites, stickies, icalendar and odd things like that inc.), everything on the desktop, all my saved prefferences and even the Acquisition prog itself!!
Luckily this is a relatively new mac (3 weeks - g4 pbook 1.33 osx10.3.4) and not too much has gone missing - but still enough to cause a minor swearing fit.
New to osx, so really do not know where to go form here. Previously would have run norton on os9 to get a few clues but this option is not available to me here.
Seems to me as though I have gone back to factory settings or some such and all previous has gone west.
Anything I can do or have I just been a daft chancer downloading dodgy files from such apps?
