John, I'm not sure I understand that last question.  I'm not talking about mining coins.  I'm providing a way for you to do research on your old wallet.  If the coins were never spent, you still own them.  However, if your balance on all of your accounts is 0, someone has emptied your account.

Ok, I understand.  Yes, that's a different question (and one that wouldn't be welcomed on a StackOverflow site.)  However, if you would like to find ways to obtain bitcoins, other than mining, there are many sites that can help.  Feel free to start a newbie post on either Bitcointalk.org or reddit.com/r/bitcoin.  Personally, I prefer BTC Talk.  Regarding the loss of your coins, there is nothing you can do to recover them.  Once they are spent, they are spent.  If you do not know the recipient, there is no way of finding out who they are, unless they've been dumb and published their address.

There is a chance that someone took your coins by hacking into your computer and copying your wallet. However, if this is the case, you should be able to load your wallet and see the out payment transactions.

Alternatively, search your payment address at [BlockChain.Info](http://blockchain.info/) BlockChain.Info is possibly the best block explorer for bitcoin. It's a good place to do research.
