INTEL CORE 2 DUO CPU
2GHz PROCESSOR
3GB RAM
I would request you to kindly suggest me a way in which i could decrypt my files.
UNABLE TO DECRYPT MY ENCRYPTED FILES
It has nothing got to do with the configuration of your machine. The encrypted files have some associated information with the directories and other system files.
First that did you make files encrypted using the OS built-in software or did it using some other external software installed? It is that the file that contained the information about the encrypted files has been lost.
Try the auto hard disk recovery software to re get the file and then you shall be able to decrypt them. If this is not possible then get to the forums of the software you have used and then try the FAQ in their forums. Or post a new thread.
Thanks.

UNABLE TO DECRYPT MY ENCRYPTED FILES
You have asked me whether I have made the above mentioned folders encrypted using the OS built-in software or did I do it using some other external software. I would like to mention here that I have encrypted the folder using the OS built-in software. Also, the Windows XP that i have in my system is not the original version.
