Make a backup of all your files on a usb stick and put that usb stick in a drawer.

Do you have anybody experienced with computers around? He might help you quicker than i can describing what you could do, since you left so few information.


My suggestion is to save all files to utf8, which is the most reasonable decision. It is not that hard and all your files are backed up by now, but i suggest to get someone around with a bit of computer knowledge.

This is not meant to hurt you in any way, i just want to ensure that you don't loose all the greek text you already had.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
