electric outage/disappearing folders
The neighborhood had an electric outage this afternoon. Battery backup apparently did not work when I tried to save open folders.
So, I lost some material in Open Office Calc - about three hours of previous work. Even though I have OO set for backup and save every five minutes - I can not find backup files. Where?
Even more strange, all folders (everything) has read only and hidden check marked. I have the option show all folders in FO but folders are grayed out. If I remove the check marks when I open properties the icon ungrays itself.
How do I remove the hidden and read only from every thing?
Some folders appear empty but I know there are files in them.
Oh yes, the Catalyst Control Center is also not functioning.
I did a restore twice to several hours previous. Still everything is hidden and read only. And the files did not come back.
40 yrs on computers - never had this happen before.
No virus or malware.
