Repairing corrupt files

Windows XP Support >> Repairing corrupt files Using XP with service pack2. Many of my saved files (JPEGs, Word, Excel) are
corrupt. In properties, they all show the same 6/8/05 modification date and
time. Is there any way to determine what I might have installed on that date
that could have caused the corruption? Files created after that date are
fine.

Windows XP Support >> Repairing corrupt files Use the Search option to look for files and folders that match that date.
Start/Search/All files and folders/When was it modified?/Specify
dates/Created Date option.

The search results might give you a clue as to what was installed on that
date.

Windows XP Support >> Repairing corrupt files The date specific search showed 1700 files, all in
C:\DocumentsandSettings\Owner\MyDocuments\. Most were Word, Excell, JPG,
BMP, or Microsoft Office Document Imaging files. There were a handful of
others including GIF, QuickTime, PDF, and some Firefox documents.

When I include hidden and system files in the search another 400 or so show
up. Most of these files are JPG or Microsoft Office Document Imaging files
with a few BMP and one QuickTime file. All of these additional files are
located in
C;\Documentsandsettings\Owner\LocalSettings\ApplicationData\HP\DigitalImaging\Vault.
They all have different files names with a combination of letters and
numbers (for example; fb2eca58_420814.tif).

All 2100 of these files were modified in a three minute time span on 6/8/05
between 3:26 and 3:28pm.

Windows XP Support >> Repairing corrupt files Since it appears that no folders were created on that date and most of the
files are common user created files.
It would appear (best guess) that a virus could have caused the corruption.
