Windows Shutdown

Hi, I recorded a big file on my Fujitsu Vista portable, and when I selected the stop button, I got a microsoft messag: Program not working, Windows is shutting down. Next screen asked if I want to delete temporary files. I clicked no, and the program went away. Upon restart, same message about deleting temporary files. I said no again, but can't seem to find the files. Is there a way to save my project?
Thanks
Abe

There are crash recovery tools...

...but you may have much more serious problems.

<<<big file on my Fujitsu Vista portable>>>

How big?

<<<Windows is shutting down. >>>

That's extraordinarily serious. You need to figure out how much room you have left on your hard drive (I'm guessing zero). Before you recover anything (it will just crash again), delete or move some other work and go through error check and defragmenting.
