Either the files are marked as hidden, or your just not looking where they are.

Windows wouldn't hide the files unless you manually changed the attributes to hidden, which I doubt you have done.

Did you change your logging path at some point? This is an odd issue, because all files are stored locally and are grabbed from the folder, so they really should be there.

Are you using Vista?

For whatever reason, I am using vista and I can't find the hardcopy of my logs. It boggles my mind, as it does Harry's and Johns.

if you UPGRADED to Vista.... check in the windows.old folder....


if that doesnt work, just do a disk search for a screenname you know that youve talked to.... it will find any files it can with that screenname in it... in this case, your log files

Dude this boggles me too. I have NO idea what is up with it. I have to do more research on how m_m stores logs and why vista can't find them.

I think what I should do is like load linux and read the windows partition and see if I can see them there. Because they HAVE to be there. The log viewer can read them. But we can't find them. It's very weird.

If someone could find some info on how file structures differ between XP and Vista, that may help...
