    Please help!!!!!!!!!!

    So I was just putting the finishing touches in DDReam on a file that I put an obscene amount of time into. I just saved it one more time, and then my computer crashed. However when I went back to the file it said everything was blank!!!! Where'd my **** go?!?!?!?!?!? How do I get it back?!?!?! I spent forever on that file.

    Maybe you should remember where you saved it and backed it up on a flash drive.
    It's time to think my good man.

        I did most of it through SM, but did the final touches in DDReam. Would it still work? I'm gonna try it.

                Thanks for your help.

                *edit* Nope, nothing.

                      nono, a windows system restore. you do it in control panel -> system -> and then there should be a tab called system restore there

                      if you don't know what it is there's a good chance you don't have it activated though =(

                      this kind of thing happened to other people before (i've not heard of anyone getting ****ed by DDReam though), i'm not sure if anyone has had success recovering their file =(. it happened once to me

                          Do you still have the *.dsx file? If so, does it have data in it? Another thing to check is whether the ds, dsx, mp3, and/or sm file (if any) are in the same folder.

                              I'm not familiar with any of that and since it has to be installed I'm certain I don't have it .

                              do it

                              or else
                              lol I did. But I guess since I was in the middle of editing in DDReam when it crashed it wiped all the data by fluke.

                              I don't think it's attributed to DDReam. Just a fluke data wipe due to a piece-of-crap computer.

                              *edit* I guess I'll just try to reconstruct it starting with an old chart I have. I still have a faint idea as to the placement I had.
