Hi folks, new to the forum and need your help!

Sometimes when im burning avis to dvd using nero the laptop turns itselfs off,this in itself is very frustrating but when i restart the computer the 4.7GB or whatever has been deducted from my hard drive with no sign of any video files in the destination folder (my dvds for example when im writing to the hard disk). The files are obviously somewhere on my drive but i dont know where? Can anyone help me and point me to where they will be hiding?

Thanks for any help.

they are pretty easy to find

C-my documents-user name-application data.....

simply right clicking and using properties

Sorry mate,can't find that application data folder etc theres just "my pictures, my music" etc after i go into my documents

Could you guide me through it? IM using XP

Sorry,im a moron with computers at times

my computer>C drive>documents and settings>then user name?

in the vision configuration see where temp files are kept?

Just use the search feature for .avi files.

alan,
when vision crashes converting avi's to dvd files, it's better to look for 4 gigs of vob's
been there done that

I've tried that but i only get as far as the folder with the sub folders: Desktop, shared documents, favourites, start menu and i don't know what to do after that?

Tried searchin for vob (as part of the file name?) and nothing came up either!

I think im out my depth here,haha!

application data is a hidden folder

go to tools/folder options

and change to show hidden folders/files

Done that mate and all you've told me beforehand and i cant see a nero folder anywhere after i go into application data?

ahead is the name for my nero folder

all this varies with what version of nero you are using, and there are a lot of them

using search I found 5 folders called ahead on my computer

and then could access their size from the search window on the right

this is not that hard to do with a little effort mate

the real problem is keeping nero vision from crashing

I can get to the ahead folder,then nero vision but it doesnt contain anything substantial just a few 300kb odd files

Im givin up

Right,i know im bein a pain in the arse here but i think ive found em (i ran a search of all files above a substantial size)
NVE44.tmp etc, theres a load of them and they are mostly about 1gb in the local settings/temp folder?
