Did the files help?

[askey127]

Those folders were somehow empty. Can you look and see if they are, in fact, empty?
Be careful not to doubleclick (run) any of the files, if any are still there.
Thought we would have had something in backup folders that day, but I guess not.

Yeah, I mean thats what I saw too, but I thought maybe I wasn't seeing something. Nothing was deleted, I remember mentioning that OTMoveIT was always freezing, do you think that it may not have worked? But then again, saying that, since that day the computer seems to be fine, I've asked my staff and they say that they've not encountered any other problems, only that the PC seems a lot slower.

Cookie,
You can do a couple things that might help the speed on that machine.
Be sure you have a bit of spare time available on the machine to perform these the first time.
Each of them may take a bit of time.
