WHY did this happen?
I am frustrated. I run Windows XP on my Macbook via Bootcamp. Everything works perfectly. This dual thing has been running for over a year now, and since that time I've used Adobe Audition excessively to produce voice samples for my campaign work and that of others. Today I rebooted to Windows, just as I always do, and I run Audition and BAM! I notice all my presets are gone. GONE! It's like a fresh install of Adobe Audition.
I had some things in the works, but my biggest problem is I was working on something for TheOracle's campaign, and it used a lot of custom effects. WHICH ARE ALL GONE.
Now my question to you and god is, why did this happen? And I don't mean "why" as in a "why did this happen to me?" kind of thing, but I want a technical reason for this. Seriously, what could have gone wrong?

Re: WHY did this happen?
That sucks. I don't know why, it may be a corrupt preference file somewhere.

Re: WHY did this happen?
Are you logged on as the exact same user? Have you installed anything new lately? If it's a warez version, that could affect it in some mystical, unseen way (i.e. hidden code or something).

Re: WHY did this happen?
@Lava: Yes, first time it happened.
@Magic: Yeah, it's warez, but that was never a problem. I'm logged in as the exact same user as well.
Weirdness.

Re: WHY did this happen?
Did you try finding your pref files and see if they are still there?

Re: WHY did this happen?
Was gonna say this. I haven't had this happen before but I have ported my presets across computers by hunting down the appropriate files in the user settings. If those are gone... :\Maglok wrote: Did you try finding your pref files and see if they are still there?
Speaking of this, would anyone mind sharing their presets?

Re: WHY did this happen?
It's happened to me in Firefox and Thunderbird as well, now that I recall. And not warez.

Re: WHY did this happen?
So did you find the files, or are they just lost forever?
