Problem opening files.. previously encrypted

[jaws]

Hi,

I am having trouble opening files that i had encrypted with acer eData security software. I had to reinstall the windows and do it all over again... but then i installed the eData security software again.. and it is not opening those files now

when i check the file type.. it says encrypted jpg file... but it wont open with eData.. it only says that it cannot open because it is not encrypted :s help me out. i need to recover those files. plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Did you save the encryption key that your particular software produced, when encrypting these files? If so, use them to decrypt it, else they're lost.

Kursed is right, the key is required to decrypt the content otherwise find some recovery software

Oops... i dunno about the encryption key.. but i do know the encryption password.. but that isnt helping much :s after i came to know that the program wasnt working after fresh installation of windows i removed the program folder altogether to install it once again.. i guess that key must have been in that folder or some where else. i dunno i guess i ve lost it

any way to recover these files ?

Which encryption program was it? And which technique did you use to encrypt your files?

I have this Acer empowering technology CD that came with the laptop and it has these softwares like eData security management and ePower management. i am using these.
