Windows 7 locked out of encrypted files, help?

[timefalls]

Hey there all,

I recently updated from the windows 7 beta to windows 7 professional. Ive noticed that a lot of my files now have green text instead of the usual black text underneath them.

After a bit of research, i found out that these files are encrypted. My hardware spec hasn't changed is there any way to regain access to these files?

thanks in advance!

I am screwed. Thanks anyway!

I formatted the hard drive, and did a fresh re-install, so there was no files in that directory.

That's 10GB of music, pictures, and documents down the pan kind of serves me right, at least i know for next time.
