    (Sorry that I made this same thread in the Technical forum last night, the support forum wasn't showing and I was feeling desperate)

    I'm pretty sure that my OS hard drive (doesn't have WoW on it) is dying, because I have recently lost most of my preferences and changed settings in most programs (lost everything in Firefox, 1/2 of my desktop icons, etc.). In WoW, all of my addons were reset, but I can't get Auctioneer to display any of my item AH prices, and I also don't see any of my saved Search Auctions. This isn't just Auctioneer either, as my IM data is also mostly emoty (just a few hundred items linked in the trade channels while redoing my addons settings).

    I'm pretty sure I have 3.4.1, and I haven't updated it since I stopped seeing any Auctioner data, and yes, I made sure to turn it on and enable everything in game. I haven't done another scan yet in case it might overwrite my data, and I haven't installed any other new addons yet either.

    Where should I look to see if my Auctioneer data got wiped, and how would I go about getting it working again (if it isn't lost)?

    Thanks, my Auctioneer data is indeed gone, thanks for the help though.

    This really shows me how much I have come to rely on Auctioneer, and I never really noticed this until now. Once I reinstall XP, I'll update Auctioneer and start over again (I must have had a few hundred scans). For all those reading this, GO BACK UP YOUR SAVEDVARIABLES RIGHT NOW!

    Thanks again for the help again, hopefully I won't be coming to this subforum anytime soon with a similarly bad situation.
