Question EyeHide?

I have (had!) a small application, EyeHide, that password encrypts a folder. I had several important files in it.

All worked well with OS 10.4.10. It will now "crash & burn" with Leopard (OS 10.5).

I've deleted, re-installed, and totally trashed the app, but I cannot get the folder to show it's contents. Contents shows up as empty and -0- items, but Get Info shows several GB's.

No help on developers site, only saying it is not very secure.

I need ideas to salvage/make visible the contents.

Do you have 10.4 on some other computer? I'd try opening that folder in 10.4.

AH yes! My wife's computer. Will have to wait until Monday when she's at work, though......She's paranoid that I'll screw her "baby" somehow. She won't allow me to put Leopard on it until it's "proven".

Thanks---let you know.

Obviously she's got a good reason, seeing how you can't access important files now.

Found a great little FREE app called "Show & Hide" that made the folder's contents visible. Just had to create a new folder and transfer contents from old to new folder. Saved my bacon!
