Folders are "invisible"
jolrei:
Or get a DOS prompt, select your drive and directory and type "dir/w" that might show you whether you have the files and windoze is just not reading them.
You need to know your DOS commands for this, of course.

Could you have made those folders "hidden" instead of "read only"? There is a way to allow hidden folders to be seen. Just can't remember what I did to make hidden folders visible as I've only used it once and left it that way from years back.
In windoze explorer, tools> folder options> view tab: check 'show hidden files and folders'. You should then be able to remove the hidden file status on them, if that is the issue.

I'm not sure how to use safe mode, it's been quite some time since I've done it and I had a tech on the line to guide me through. I'll try the hidden file method, although when I did a search earlier, I did check off to include all hidden files and folders. Won't hurt to try anyway. Morrigant, I did restart the computer, yes. I even tried Systems Restore.
Battycoda, I tend to agree. I did have a Trojan a few days ago, but was able to get rid of it. I doubt the two issues are connected. But anything's possible.
morriganrant:
I wonder if there is anything causing this, it's like the 3-4th time I've heard of this happening in the last month. Of course at least two of those had a high possibility of being human error.
MsMaria:
Idon't know, but it is highly frustrating. This will be the third time in a week I've have to come back to get MATY files for the game. They keep "poofing". That goes for any folder past the letter 'A'. All gone. :-[
As long as I leave them on the desk top they are fine, drop them into my DL folder and they are MIA. My DL folder is the Bermuda Triangle. Blerg.
I guess I will break down and uninstall/re-install, just to say I tried it. :-\
EDIT Less than 5 minutes ago, after making this post, I d/l the FT version of MATY mods to my desktop, renamed it Downloads MATY and dropped it in my DL folder in the game. I immediately opened the DL folder and guess what? MATY folder is not there. This is beyond weird. >:(
EDIT 2 I decided to add a new MATY folder to my DL's. This time I named it 'A Maty Mod App'. Dumb name but the key here was to make sure it started with an 'A'. Just experimenting. :P The folder lives! It is alive, visible and well in my DL folder. What to make of that? Haven't a clue. :P
Any ideas? :D
