I am not a computer whiz so forgive me if I don't use the right terminology... I downloaded software that allowed me to recover my data from my recycle bin. But when I open it.. it looks like a foreign language to me??
It says it's a DAT file and the reference is GMAIL so I assumed it was my instant messages but I am not sure.
How can I tell which files are my instant message conversations and how do I open them to read them?
Can someone help me?
