Applications disappeared

Hello.
Two program files, Reason and Logic, both disappeared from my hard drive. I have dual operating systems on my laptop and had both installed in OS9, as they were older versions. All of the supporting files, sound banks, ect. are still there. How could this have happened? Is there any way to recover the programs without the original program disks?
 
BTW you've more chance of a useful reply if you give complete information regarding your laptop model, OS version, software version etc. and what you were doing in the run-up to the problem.

(Never heard of "Reason and Logic").
 
Since you've bought both Reason and Logic, you _do_ have the original disks and it's an easy task to reinstall them. Since you also have a recent backup, you could also get the apps back from there.

If you haven't bought the apps, there won't be any help on these forums. If you've bought the apps but don't have the original disks any longer, contact the developers about it.
 
Any help on whether the disappearance of these applications could be possible without foul play would be appreciated. I am concerned that it could have been done intentionally. I am not confused about restoring the programs- if figured that out now- but I am worried about the cause of the problem.
A little more information....
Pwerbook G4 running OSX 10.2.8
867 MHz PowerPC G4
I have both OSX and OS9 operating systems and had the programs installed on OS9.2.2.
Software versions:
Reason 2.0
I am not sure of the version of Logic- it was purchased in the summer of 2003
I had not used either of the programs for about 6-8 weeks. When I went to open them via the alias' that I created on the desktop, there were errors. I looked in the folder that the programs previously lived in and they were both gone. Only the actual program files are gone. The supporting files are still intact.
 
Strange -- sounds like a) they were accidentally trashed, b) your hard drive has some sort of corruption and they just happened to be the two files that got corrupted, or c) someone intentionally deleted them.

It is highly unlikely (next to impossible) that you were "hacked" or are the victim of some malicious software.

Does anyone else have access to or use your computer?
