Hi! I am from Puerto Rico and in advance, sorry about my English!

I have a difficult one for you...
I am using Windows XP SP2 on a PC with an 2.8GHz PIV and 1.5GB RAM.

I was forced to reformat my HD because of a Registry error that caused a BSoD preventing me to ENTER to Windows XP again, (trust me I tried to login SEVERAL times, even in Safe Mode) but I was not able to do a backup of the encryption key of my protected files. Now I NEED to acces the encrypted files of my backup in my nice 80GB USB 2.0 HD and I am not able to do anything with them.

How do I REMOVE the damned encryption to my files?

The stupid thing is that I CREATED the files and now I can not access them. I went to support using Microsoft site, but their support is really bad... (to say a nice word) and expensive for me.

Please, tell me that there is still hope for me to recover access to my files or else I must create every single file again. I will not be able to redo all of them by Thursday.

And there are a lot o files in a 3.5GB folder... over 1000 files!!! I need to recover access to my files before the next Thursday or I will be damned.Sorry but if you don't have the encrtyption key then those files will not be retrievable.

I don'tknow of nay other way, unless you can get some super hacking application.
