I have Vista Home Premium. I have been using Microsoft Backup & Restore for a few weeks. I am backing up to an external hard drive.My two questions are: (1) Can I restore a single file? (2) Or must I restore everything to get that one file?
View 5 RepliesI am running a hp pavilion dv9730 with vista home prem. 32. I need to restore my system but the restore program quits do to a virus in the restore files. As it is restoring Norton sees the virus and removes it from my system but Norton can not see the virus inside the restore files. Right now my system is fine (virus wise) but I need to restore from an earlier restore point because I deleted some files and now my cd/dvd drive is not recognized. But like I said, I can not restore do to the fact that I have a virus buried inside my restore files. I could care less about the virus in the restore files, my main goal is to get my cd/dvd drive working again so I can install my business software.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWas using: Outlook 2003 on a Windows Vista Home Edition desktop Program: Backup and Restore was set for weekly backup of several folders including my Outlook pst files to an external hardrive Problem: trying to restore the pst files which Vista split across several zip archives
I had a main pst file (my deliverable one) and several archive files that were quite large. The computer crashed several times, but I had always a recent backup. Finally the computer had to be sent back and I no longer have it. All of my backups seem intact, as I have been able to restore all of my other data except for my pst files. I think that the Vista Backup and Restore program broke up the pst files into smaller chunks when it zipped them. I am trying to restore them with a Windows XP laptop also running Outlook 2003.
I have tried: unzipping the pst files and both importing and opening the pst files into Outlook, Thunderbird and Eudora. Outlook opens it but nothing is inside. Th and Eu won't read them. SCANPST - tells me the pst files (which have .pst extensions) are not pst files extracting the pst's and copying them into one file in Command Prompt using Copy /b outlook2*.pst outlookcopy.pst - this created the latter file but it is also unreadable as a pst file. Is it possible on a non-Vista machine to fix these files?

Search also gave me links to windows 98 links from 2000 from my old machine. do system file checker and restore to yesterday.

1. Backed up C: using Windows Complete PC Backup. (6 DVDs no errors.)
2. Removed old HD and inserted new.
3. Booted Windows Vista install DVD. (I proceeded to partition HD but did not complete the install.)
4. From Windows Recovery Environment, I chose Windows Complete PC Restore.
5. Inserted Backup image DVD disc1.
6. When it looked for the location of the image it couldn't find it so it fails.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUsing Windows Vista, how do I remote desktop to a Windows Server 2008
computer running terminal services in single user mode?
(I know how to remote desktop to my Windows Server 2008 computer running
terminal services. I don't know about the single user mode).
Apparently, I'm not in single user mode, because the remote desktop shows
the Vista theme, but not the full Aero experience.

Vista Home Premium SP1. Is it possible to use more than one device in a single USB port? The reason I ask is that I have five USB ports, four at the back and one at the front. As the one at the front is more accessible, I use this for a Joystick I occasionally use. Can I also use this same port for another device, in this case an MP3 player, not at same time?

I was wondering if it's possible to put in the remaining good sticks back in. 12gb (x3) in total , I'm guessing my mboard would drop the speed to single speed ram instead of dual speed ram....Ram capacity is more import than Ram speed as my images are hitting the Photoshop scratch which is bottlenecking my system.
View 5 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 8 Replies View RelatedWe are all familliar with "Explore" and the Tree structure on the left side, vs "Open", which opens a folder in a single window. Normally, in Explore, as you click on the folders you travel thru the tree and can pretty quickly navigate thru the system, whereas with Open, you can get there, but it isn't quite as easy if you take a wrong turn to back out & recover. Explore is a good name for that option, as that's what it's best for. It also means you don't have to have two windows open to move files, as you can drag to any folder in the nav pane with relative ease. With Open you're better off with multiple open windows for those file relocation tricks..................

View 4 Replies View RelatedI purchased a WD 500 GB external, and used windows backup. It worked fine. I was planing to return my laptop for repairs because it was making funny sounds, so i deleted all my documents/music/pictures and so on. When i went to restore everything, I got a pretty nasty problem.
everything was restored, but stored on the F: drive, which is the external. when ever i would start up the computer, without the external plugged in, it would give me an error saying that the desktop wasn't found and that it was in different folder. there was also a problem with Microsoft office, which when ever i would open Word 2007 it would say "the office open xml file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."
then it would give me a second error message "Word cannot open the existing file. (normal) i would also get this same error when opening up any existing word file. when i would write things up and then go to save it, it says that "word has insufficient memory. do you want to save document one as rescued document 2?" i have a similar problem with itunes

View 9 Replies View RelatedVista Bus x64 / Office Pro 2007. how to do the following that were simple to do in XP fax:
1. Save a single page of a multipage fax as an image (.png, gif, tif, jpg whatever)? Easy to save as a multipage .tif, but most sw opens only the first page. I regularly need to save the 3rd page (which is an invoice) of a 3 page fax; ie. I want an image of just the invoice (pref .png or gif). Was easy to do in XP.
2. Change the fax resolution (eg. faxing a Word doc - mainly text). Seem to have no option to select the fax resolution & quality seems worse than XP (I used 200x200).
3. I cannot get Outlook contacts to show up in the Fax & Scan utility. Just Windows Contacts (which I do not use).
I do not like XP. With a passion. It blows, along with all the people clinging to it's rotting carcass. May they all die horrid putrid rotting deaths. Okay not really but you get that I don't care much for XP, right?. I've always used linux as long as I remember too (****e I've used everything over the years - Atari, Amiga, Commodore..), and I actually abandoned XP for Ubuntu, save for playing games. I love Ubuntu! But, I must say using Vista 64 now for about a month I actually *like it*. There are a bit of things Mac OS could stea.. err borrow. Like Readyboost. I found a 2 pack of PNY 4 gig drives on sale for $25 at staples a few weeks ago, so I snagged them to use for readyboost. It's fantastic, Firefox is loaded and displaying the home page before I even release the damn mouse button. ..................
