Hi Raul, Probably the quickest way to recover this functionality would be to re-install the damaged programs. Of course, if you're missing any configuration or actual data files, then you'll still need to try and recover them from lost+found. Unfortunately, I do not have a good understanding of how lost+found works, so I'll defer that question to someone with more experience in that area. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.
