I have had an evil past days all full of computer problems since ISP technician that erase 200 tabs in mozilla with sensitive info to data loss due unintentional power off and unsaved notepads. That by the way trying to avoid again or to reduce the loss for the next time I was installing a screen capture program (a soft tat take a screen-shots in time intervals so i could at least remember what I had open, but when trying some software's I decide to uninstall the av because it was giving me problems I uninstall it and then it ask me for restart I choose not now.
I left the computer for a while and when I came back I found it Off (I imagine the restart message of the antivirus had a countdown otherwise what else could have turned of the computer), and it was not a power interruption, and when I start it again I found a black wallpaper and I decide to go to my picture to select the wallpaper again I found that my pictures has vanished. I am using linux now I want to leave the windows partition alone to see what can I do to get the pictures back, I was looking for a data recovery software like "getdataback" but it doesn't exist for linux.
I left my laptop ticking over yesterday and when I came back there was an error message saying Windows could not start because a device was not available or system file had been corrupted. I decided to reinstall Windows on the same partition thinking it would still give me my original programs, desktop etc. (duh!!) So now I have 2 windows folders - one with the new installation and one with WINDOWS.OLD I still have all my original folders and files on C: but I want to get into the original WINDOWS and repair the corrupt system files. Is it possible to boot into the WINDOWS.OLD and run Windows Repair on the system files?
I imported my photos from my SDCard to my PC using Picasa 3, and everything was going smoothly... until I tried to take a look at the photos! all of the photos that I've imported using this method for some reason all became greyed out! Viewing them on Picasa3, all you can see is a grey rectangle, in place of the photos. However, when using the windows explorer folder, i can see that the photos were imported correctly (it's not just a grey box, but the actual photos), but when I try to open it (using any program: Paint, Picasa3, etc), it is still a grey rectangle instead of the photos. I tried to upload the image and send it via email, and I get the same result.In my mistake, I chose to "delete the uploaded photos after uploading" option..it's my vacation photos from Croatia I'm not sure if there were any errors when I imported it... i stepped out for a bit while I was waiting for it to import. I looked around my SD card, and looked at the "Lost.dir" folder, and copied all of what's in there.I did use Glarysoft to recover the images, and I'm using a Windows 7 laptop as my computer. Also, are there other alternatives? I did save the lost.dir with all of the photo files in it, both in my SD Card, and on my laptop.
My computer was infected with a System Restore malware. I used the real windows system restore to roll back the system to a point before the infection started. It worked, and the computer returned to normal function as far as applications are concerned. However, my documents and pictures disappeared from the hard drive (no thumnails, no filenames).I tried to undo the system restore, but this did not resolve the problem and the virus reappeared, so I rolled it back yet again. I downloaded Glary Utilities and tried the file restorer and thousands of files were found, but none of the files I am looking for appeared.
Running Windows 7 with Realtek High Def Audio. Speakers and headphones worked perfectly until recently. Now nothing. I've tried restoring, disconnecting/reconnecting speakers or headphones. Checked to make sure nothing is muted. Software indicates audio is playing, I just can't hear anything. My job requires getting audio so I am desperate. The PC is less than a year old.
i have "Folder Protect" witch i have make a folder and hes files (mass effect 3) undeletable but from nowhere the main exe has vanished(Mass Effect 3BinariesWin32MassEffect3.exe) i don`t think is the game it happen before with a different game
I have been using the snipping tool quite regularly but come to use it tonight and the programme is not in my programme list any more . Also a search can't find the program on my laptop. Any suggestions please to find the programme?
I somehow removed the controls on the Task Manager box. One section opens and the only buttons available are "show processes from all users" and "end process". Luckily, with no "close" button available, I can close it by right clicking on its menu icon and hit "close".
A week ago I had same problem 130 gig of hard drive memory and was vanishing throughout the day.it got down to 15 gig then I dont know what i did but it came back.Now yesterday same problem memory is vanishing and I went from 130 gig to 24 gig.
You may have trouble believing this, but the ENTIRE WINDOWS FOLDER on the hard drive has vanished.I've been using my machine as usual although am having some bad problems, such as not being able to download/install since Windows Installer is also gone. I guess that's part of the Windows.system 32 stuff that disappeared.I have a bad feeling I'll have to reinstall Win 7.How in the world could something like this happen? I have the old Windows folder from XP on the drive but no Win 7. Fortunately, I obssess over backing up and have Carbonite, Acronis True Image, Windows BU and everything on Seagate external drives.
I set up my folders to share over SMB, but it appears I didn't set up all of them to share with everyone.I'm trying to re share them but I can't seem to get to the same wizard. When i right click on a folder it gives me the option to 'Share With ...' rather than just 'Share ...' If i click 'Share with ...' it takes me into the Folder Properties window and selects the sharing tab. it doesn't bring up the normal windows share wizard. Any ideas how I get back to the normal windows 7 share wizard?
I upgraded my desktop's cpu, motherboard & memory the other day, but didn't do a clean install of Windows 7. It caused me some problems, but I have most of the issues resolved.However, there is one issue I can't resolve & it is regarding my network/internet connection. I have my Billion modem plugged into a D-Link Wireless Router, whihc is then plugged into 1) My desktop (Windows 7); 2) Work Laptop (XP SP3) & 3) Canon network printer. All was working fine before the upgrade. New mobo is an Asus P8P67 LE, with Realtek on board network adaptor.Now, I can't access the internet or the home network through the desktop. The cable is plugged in, but there is no acknowledgement of the PC being connected to anything. The lights around the LAN port on the mobo don't go on when a cable is connected, the light on the router doesn't go on when the cable is connected & Windows 7 says there is no connection.I tried plugging the modem directly into the PC, & the internet connection works, so I know the LAN port is working on the new mobo. I've also tried all combinations of cables & ports between the pc, the laptop & the router

My family's desktop has reset back to factory settings seemingly by itself. This has happened before but I was able to do a system restore and bring back all the settings, files, and programs. I tried the same thing today but the restore failed (it still failed after I followed its advice to turn the anti-virus off and then run restore) so I've got a large amount of files (pictures, music, documents) missing that I am hoping are still on the hard drive somewhere.
My HP dv6735en with above graphics cards just vanished after upgrading from vista to win 7. In device manager the only listing under graphics is the VGA card (even screen saver shows insufficient graphics error) I tried searching new hardware no luck
My Dell Studio XPS 435MT 920 i7, 6Gb, Vista 64BIT SP2 has motherboard Nvidea High Definition Audio 0-3 (total 4) Channels-Driver 1.3.12.0 in Device Manager and Realtec High Definition Audio x1-Driver 6.0.1.6602. All are indicating Working Properly. But my Vista system sounds and all audio movie/recording playback has suddenly vanished. I've tried to make sure all the software audio systems are not muted or turned off, disabled, all turned to max volume. The stereo/bass sytem works fine on another PC and that other working system also doesn't work on the Dell 435MT. This also happened some time ago and a system restore recovered it but now my restore has not worked (not old enough?). The only recent events are normal updates on system and drivers and a fault with an AcGenral.dll when an exe file is launched. The motherboard seems to work ok as tapping the microphone leads to sound out on the speakers.
The frustration has been for more than 2 years now. I tried to move the photo folders & files from "My Pictures" to "Pictures" but Window's geniouses did not give us that option. I do not need to click to "My Pictures" since they are ALL MY pictures. So are we stuck with this decision or is there a way which I can get rid of 1 of the folders? Same with "Documents" & "Videos".
I am trying to upgrade Vista to Windows7 Home Premium and I got this message after the installer copied ~2GB of files on my PC:
"setup can't continue. restart the computer and restart setup. when prompted try getting the latest updates."
I restarted the PC and restarted the setup and I got the same message. I updated the Mother Board Bios and restarted the setup I got the same message. I have tried both options (get update and no update during the setup). And it didn't work.
I do not want to do custom install (fresh install) on my computer.
I'm running Windows 7. When I "right click, save" pics from the web, they oftentimes show up as a flat colored line. In the folder they've been saved in, the thumbnail looks normal, but when you open it, it's a mess. Or the picture is compressed to the point it no longer resembles the original photo.
I recently did a system restore on my laptop... HP 625. Windows 7.Then I logged in as normal and I've somehow lost the Personalise option on the desktop drop down menu.I can't even go into pictures and set a background.Also, the Windows 7 theme has completely disappeared and it's changed to a windows classic theme? I had to do the system restore because it wouldn't log in, even though the password was correct.It interrupts with the internet speed and looks plain freaking ugly.
I was having a problem on my laptop with Windows 7 not booting properly so I did a system restore of the windows files only using the Samsung software that came on the laptop. After that had completed, I can not see any text on web pages and even the Microsoft docs in office are messed up. I use Google Chrome for a browser and tried viewing web pages in IE but the same problem. I can not see any text in the dialog boxes either so to do a complete restore is next to impossible because I cannot read anything
I saved a bunch of pictures on a DVD and now I get only thismessage[.ShellClassInfo]LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-21815and all the folders are gone. Is there a way to retrieve them
how to edit pictures like in the commercial where the lady actually cuts out the head of her child and pastes in a new one. Any know how to do that? i just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64bt on a new pc.
There are no specific details available but am wondering whether anyone knows why the following may happen -Photos are burnt onto a disk (ie photo1, photo2, photo3 etc), and when played back on the pc it shows them in that order.When the disk is inserted into a dvd player to display on the tv, the pictures seem to be shown in a random order.
I have two files I imported from my former computer and every .jpg & .png pictures are read only and therefore when I make changes and try to save them I am not allowed. I am using Windows 7 and have tried to change the properties but to no avail.
In XP, you could assign custom names to a group of photos when importing, but i can't seem to do that in 7. For instance i could tell it Name: "08.09.2009" and it would name each photo 08.09.2009 001, 08.09.2009 002, etc... Why would they make it so you can only label your photos a few ways. Any way to edit a system file to have more options show up?
