File Deletion

Hi, I recently contacted a Microsoft service rep and was directed here. My
problem is getting worse and worse. Here is the original message (several
days ago):

I've been using your Microsoft Visual C++ for my C++ projects for some time
now... I have been working with a project for the last three months, but
today, to my dismay. When attempting to save the workspace, I received an
error which read something similiar to "Unreferenced memory at...". Now I've
received this error while using Visual C++ before, but it never caused any
damage. Well today... It did. Upon reopening my project I found all of the
..cpp files to be deleted, however, the header files were intact. Due to this,
I have lost my entire 3 month project, which had well over 100 hours
involved. I've searched for a data recovery program that would find the file,
but with no luck. So to get down to it, how can I recover the file?

Thank you,
Stuart Konen
No longer am I so worried about recovering the file, but I urgently need to
fix this from happening, the error occurs most often when attempting to save
the workspace. I also get the occasional error of "Unable to save this
file...", but I can simply click save again and it'll work. Today I lost my
new project, and as you may have guessed I'm very angry over the issue. What
is going on here? And how do I fix it? I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and
I'm confident it is a software error and not a hardware problem (everything
else runs perfectly).

Please help,
Stuart Konen
