Some how only one of my users whole computer was reset. the other three were untouched. Now my question is how do i restore his computer to a last date. I saw once one of my freinds went to this place in control panel, and he set the date he wanted and he got it back.
View 4 RepliesI started having a problem with my computer freezing up about 5 days ago, I did a scan, no problem, my memory is fine, only using about 60%. Then I went to do a system restore, but the problem is there is no restore dates in my system before, so I cant put it back to an earlier date, and the info that is showing does not say how to restore it from the day that I am trying to restore it. My computer is a compaq, 32 bit, 160 gig, 1.5 gig ram, and I am using Panda virus system
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy husband did something to the sound card or the program that creates sound on my computer. The computer thinks it no longer has a sound device. I wanted to restore to the point before he did this but it was a few months ago. When i try to do a system restore to that date it wont let me go back that far. I am not sure how to do this? Is there a way to restore windows to the orignal? I bought the computer with windows vista on it so i do not have a backup disk for windows it jsut came with it, but is there a way i can still re-install it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have two computers running Vista Home Premium. When Service Pack 1 came out, my desktop, which is a clone I built myself, downloaded and installed Service Pack 1 without any problem, but my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop seems oblivious to Service Pack 1's existence. Although automatic update is on both computers with similar settings (full automatic update), and the laptop has downloaded a number of updates since then and keeps telling me the computer is up to date, I can't help wondering why Service Pack 1 hasn't downloaded and installed, and whether I should install it manually or just assume the computer has a good reason to not install it and leave it alone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI blew out the keyboard, (thought something might have gotten down there and was the cause of this) but still no change. I tried to restart my Vista Ultimate x64, but because it was keying that letter it just kept trying to search. So I had to hit the power button. This is where it gets weird. Upon restart, it goes to some sort of recovery wizard. No log-in screen, just this wizard. If I cancelled it, my system would reboot. So, after 6 different cancels / restarts, I tried it. It did a recovery that set up two partitions on my HD, but ERASED EVERYTHING. Anything that was not installed originally on the computer was erased. There are no system restore points (Deleted as well) Don't worry, I back-up fairly often. But I'd like to know what the hell happen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhy can't I use system restore to restore back to certain restore points? I was only successful twice with it. When my laptap was new and when I used it after re-formatting my hard drive. On all occassions after those two instances I can never restore back to any restore point. It always says that "unspecified error" line. If Microsoft doesn't know what happend, how could I. Why did they bother putting system restore if it doesn't work all the time anyway. It gives you a false sense of security.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to do is search by date or type of software. Actually I am searching for a recently created word file. All any search engine does now is find a program when you know its name. If you know a programs name you generally know were it is so Vista's search engine is useless. Lets make it clear it doesn't even do that. On my H drive I have a file named Zahainya when I asked Vista to search my H drive for a file named Zahainya it comes up empty. Moreover Vista admits it searches slowly because it asked if it can index my files every time and I say yes and still the search is at least 5X slower then XP and it can't find anything anyway.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with Vista 64, I've verified the date and time in the bios (new motherboard) what happens is the date and time change to Dec 2016 after the PC restarts and the desktop is ready for action. I've scanned for viruses and malware and none were found, this is a new install from scratch.
Also I have a "Interactive Services Detection" error that forced me to disable the service, does anybody know how to fix it instead of disabling the service? I could just do another re-install but I'd like to avoid that right now.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow can I look at the top level folder date modified, I can tell any item inside all the sub-folder was updated or created? So the top level folder 'date modified' is the latest date. Current, in Windows, even the inside sub-folder is updated, the top level folder date is not changed.
How do I make the top folder's Date Modified reflect the latest modified dates of any items inside the sub-folder? That is if any inside item inside multiple levels of sub-folder is modified and updated, how can I make the Date Modified updated for all the upper levels folders, or just the top level folder?
I have been using Windows XP for years. Recently I installed Windows Vista Ultimate. Before Vista there was a great product called Windows Pictures and Fax Viewer which also has a feature to change Picture layout (rotate left/right). The nice thing about it was that while changing the layout it did not change the file's Modified Date.
Now, in Vista's Photo Gallery, this feature is missing. I mean, you can still rotate pictures, but it changes the Modified date to todays date. This is not good, as the pictures then are not arranged properly by date/time, and the only way to arrange them is to use Date Taken attribute (which is not standard file attribute and only present in .jpg files).
1. how to setup Photo Gallery that it does not change last Modified Date on changing the picture layout.
2. Alternatively, please advice is it possible to install XP's Picture and Fax viewer on Vista.............
I needed to force-restart my Vista Ultimate a short while ago. It was entirely frozen. Upon restart my time and date had been reset to December 31, 2002, 11:25 p.m. How concerned do I need to be about this surprising situation? Does this represent a virus? I have performed a complete virus scan (AVG 8); nothing was found. I have also performed a complete scan with Spyware Doctor. Likewise, nothing was found.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having real problems with Excel 2003 in Vista as dates and times are treated as text rather than values. In trying to fix this problem, I checked the language being used by Excel [the Vista default is English (Australia)]. In Win XP, I do that by looking in Excel Help > About Microsoft Office Excel > System Information, then expand Office 2003 Applications > Microsoft Office Excel 2003 > Summary.
But in Vista, when I go (as Administrator) into Excel Help > About Microsoft Office Excel > System Information, Office 2003 Applications is not there! Is this somewhere else in Vista or does this indicate a problem with the installation of Excel on this computer? Or is there some other reason?
