Hm. I think I'm using a similar Firefox version. The only Firefox Ad-on I'm using is Ad Blocker Plus. I'm not sure which version of Windows I'm using, but it's a few years old. It seemed to go wrong after I used the Submit Shop Front feature, but I'm not sure. I was also repricing several items. EDIT: Reading the link now :D

I have no idea. I'm looking, any clue where to find that? I use several computers, all different versions. The portal's only on this one. I think it's Windows XP, I found a 'tour windows xp.' But we've also got Windows ME on another computer, and at least one Professional edition. EDIT: A few days ago several of my prices (when using the filtered/search mode) changed to 78000 -- all of them. I didn't think anything of it, though it was my mistake. That happened BEFORE this partial database erase. I was trying to change one item's 'buy' price to 78000, and several other items (the ones in the 'search' filter) also changed. Could that have something to do with this? And yes, the tutorial -- I usually 'skip' that step, and manually adjust items

Well i tried to install it on windows 2000 and it failed miserably. On windows 98, it crashed the OS. So i'm guessing it's XP. Anyways there's not much i can do at this time. All i'm seeing is a perfectly in shape database that lost some of its data by some unknown means whether caused by the user (you) or a security program or a program glitch that is triggered by an incorrect paste or something.

Anyways, what's funny again is, the last sold data is still there. everything else just went zip

Hm. I ran a Disk Defrag 2-3 days ago. Before this all started. If it's perfectly in shape, I'll just try again. Thanks :D

I'd hate to loose my data.

It'll aid me in finding the source of the problem @abrar13 yup. I used to use something else but it was glitchy so i switched to it 2 years ago and have been using it since then

Thank you so much for taking the time, making the profile, and going through all this.
