| | Hello Maksfin, and welcome to Seven Forums. You could see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated on or before Friday may be able to fix this for you. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| | I did think of that, but as the computer is relatively new, it didn't have a restore point..my fault. Is there away around that? |

| | Have you made any changes or install anything between now and Friday when they worked? Just to be sure of the exact folders, what's the full path of them? You could see if runnig a sfc /scannow command may help. In addition, double check to make sure that the C:\Users\(user-name)\My Documents folder is set with the default location using the tutorial bleow. User Folders - Restore Default Location |

| | Maksfin, Unless you disabled System Restore, then you have restore points. Microsoft automatically creates restore points before performing some operations. Please check your restore points. System Restore How to Do a System Restore in Windows 7 That is a very thorough tutorial, however, I get to the necessary dialog much quicker by:  | type System Restore | ENTER |

| | This would normally open your C:\Users\(user-name) folder. You could just go there manually in Windows Explorer instead. |

| | Did you substitute your user account's name instead of (user-name) in the path? That was just an example for you to use your's instead. When you open Windows Explorer, click on the C: drive in the left navigation pane, click on the Users folder, then open the folder with your Windows 7 user acount's name on it. |
