Please do not edit your post , write your solution instead ... your thread may help someone else :)
Editing out your initial question is selfish. As bmossavari pointed out: the whole point of a forum is that the question and the subsequent answers remain visible as a reference for others.
I just received this error message....is there a easy way to recover?
