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.
