I believe my computer has issues. I received a bubble when I logged on saying that my user profile failed to log on correctly and I was given a temp account. Not knowing what I was doing ended up doing a system restore and lost all my data files. I have recovered most but can not open them due to their being renamed and start with $ how do I open these files? - Before this happened my laptop was acting strange-- I was trying to build a website for school and each time I moved an image a copy of it remained in its place. I couldn't just press the delete button either, I had to cut the image instead. Can anyone help me so I don't have to pay a lot of money for something that is probably easy to fix? I am a single mother of two and just finished school for graphic design. I haven't been working so money is REALLY tight.
