Friends: My computer suffered some crashes due to overheating, which is now fixed. In the process I lost some data, pictures and emails (Outlook Express 6) because my computer went back to a time in November 2006. Can someone suggest a good freebie software to recover my data? Windows XP Pro. Thanks a lot Folks.

hmmm, there are not many free recovery software, and i can't recomend any of them(i didn't try them), to my mind the best file recovery software is getDataBack, but it's not free.:(

Go here and get REST2514 http://www.free2u.org/freeware/system_utilities/file_management/file_recovery/rest2514.html
It's simple to use, can be downloaded to a floppy and extracted to the same floppy and run from the floppy too, so minimal or no file damage/overwriting risk in your pc. Read the help file, but all you do is enter an extension like .jpg, or .txt... and be astounded.

Another good one is PCInspector from http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/UK/welcome.htm
but it is big, and you really should have had it on your machine first.
Btw, both those are true freeware. But i don't know what you would use for emals...
