Hi

Try and see if this file is in quarantine and if so restore it http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/09038554-ea5f-4db7-bba3-97a67ea293671033.mspx

Can you download this program again?

its not quarantine that was my first thought to

and yes i could but it saves certian config data and save files to part of the program and they take forever to get right

Hi

Outside chance then that file recovery app may get this back and recuva is ok, but if possible and if the files are found then recover them to a secondary HDD, External HDD or USB pen as recovering files to same drive that they are on may inadvertantly corrupt the file.

Which Windows are you using as if Vista then try opening the C drive and right click a blank space and choose Properties then click the Previous Versions tab and open up a previous folder as this allows you basically to open up System Restore points and grab a single file.
