Can some one point me to some program that will beak the encrytpion, i know theres programs out there but can find, the computer that the files were encripted on is no longer avalable.

My suggestion to you is to look into what kind of encryption the program used, and look for a way to break that type of encryption. Sorry I can't say a specific program for sure.

well there is encryption algorithms such as md5, rsa, etc.

Well it's encryption, not meant to be broken. If you can find something that breaks encryption. Your files wont be perfect.

Hummmm. I know all about encryption now - and that I'm supposed to keep the key etc - I've been stuck with this problem for months trying to find a legal solution. But I didn't realise the implications of backing up encrypted files, reformatting my laptop, then trying to restore the files... It's all my own data (and it's my own fault too) but I just want to get some of those files back.

i am surprised there aren't any little brute force apps floating around
