Hi and thank you very much for your reply. I have a dumb question. how can I find out if I'm using smart sync or not. I've looked everywhere on dropbox.com and my account and I don't see anything. Also, I just noticed tonight that all of my pdf files and files using open office are also X'd out. It sound like you are right in which case I may want to figure out how to get all the files back to my computer. Thanks again,
Steve

Hi Mark. I think I just figured it out. I am using some Avast software for security purposes and a few other reasons. Some of the software gives me the opportunity to put programs to sleep to save on ram or to increase speed. I had put dropbox to sleep. As soon as I requested to wake it up, all my pics etc came back to life. That must have been the problem. Have you ever heard of that?
many thanks for your help,
Steve
