In searching I found Microsoft SteadyState and it is discontinued program for Windows XP.It is like a virtual environment where you can use your computer but after a reboot all changes are undone, deleted files are restored, in essence your computer is restored back to the previous state(before the virtual environment).
View 9 RepliesThere are two things which have been bugging me off for some time now: a suspicious 'Undo Rename' in the right-click context menu even if I did not rename anything, and a delayed 'Undo Delete' in the right-click context (I deleted a shortcut from the desktop and it took some time for the Recycle Bin to be filled and an 'Undo Delete' option in the right-click menu to show up).My User Account Control is set to maximum yet there's no UAC prompt to rename something. I didn't recall renaming a specific file(s) as well, all files from my desktop to folders remain "as is" or were unchanged.
View 5 Replies View Relatedthe beginning part of the story probably isn't important, but essentially I did a system restore on my computer based on its own recommendation. Then I realized that I hadn't backed up my English paper to my flash drive yet. So now my english paper document is gone, and I can't undo the system restore because the undo button is not where it's supposed to be according to the instructions on MS.
I mostly just need that document. Another document for my logic class is half gone now too, but it's not as hard to redo.
I inadvertently made one of my applications into an administrator app. So, every time I open it, I get prompted to give permission. I'd like to undo this, but don't know how to.

I have decided I want to Put the OS on one of the drives and use the other for media storage. I want to do away with the RAID configuration.

View 7 Replies View RelatedFirst off, I'd like to point out that I'm kind computer literate and some technical things you guys may say may be over my head. That being said, here's what happened.I booted up our Sony Viao running Windows 7 and a window popped up talking about system recovery. At the time I didn't even know what that meant, so I was like "what's this BS" and exited out of the window. Then the computer went into system recovery mode. I just thought it was doing an update of some sort, so I walked away and let it do it's thing. I at the time didn't know that while I was watching tv, our computer was erasing all of our data. When I came back, it was finished and said "restoring to factory settings". Then it set-up for first time use, pick a password, ect. Loosing our important documents is one thing, but we're super bummed we lost all of pictures of our daughters first year and a half of life. I know it's our fault for not backing up our files and we will from now on.So my question is, is there a possibility that the data wasn't wiped completely off the hard drive? Could the data just have been moved to another part of the hard drive and not be erased until that space is needed? I've tried booting up in "safe mode", but that didn

View 2 Replies View RelatedSo, I just built my new system and everything seems to be running fine but I realized just as I was finishing the installation for Windows 7 that I was installing the 32 bit version (silly me I thought you would be given an option to choose once it started). Anyway, I'm at the screen where it is asking me to create a user name and name my PC for the first time. I tried restarting the computer with the 64 bit version but it just loads back to the setup screen. What is the best way to get the 64 bit version installed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that the answer to my question is easy, but when it comes to working with Permissions, I am an absolute dud. Anyway, I have two programs that I want to have open automatically when I boot up, Thunderbird and Maxthon. I have placed their shortcuts into the Startup folder. They do open, but when Maxthon opens, the User Control Box opens asking to allow program to make changes to the computer. This is my mistake in that when I set up Maxthon I inadvertently must have clicked a button that directed a permission OK. But, BTW, Maxthon shortcut->Properties->Advanced button->run as admin NOT checked??? I would like to undo the permission request so that Maxthon will open on boot up without having to do anything.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am familiar with System Restore, selecting earlier times, and the often-available option of undoing a System Restore. But I found out (too late) that according to Microsoft, System Restore done in Safe Mode is not able to be undone.I lost 1,000's of photos doing the system restore, now the only restore point option visible is what I believe to be the new one after I did the restore. Prior to me doing the System Restore, there were a number of times from me to choose from, I just chose one that was 10 days ago. Is there any software, method, or hack that I can use or do to recover the thousands of photos that were on my desktop and that were in folders on my desktop? It's a 1 TB HD?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a bit of a strange problem, admittedly. Nonetheless, I'm hopeful that someone here may have a solution.Win 7 Explorer has this "feature" whereby you can undo all sorts of file operations (rename, move, delete) by pressing ctrl+z or by clicking the "undo <whatever>" menu item in the context menu.I find this incredibly annoying, because the only time I use this feature is by accident (either I was trying to ctrl+z in another program window without realizing the focus was switched to, say, the desktop; or I simply failed to click the menu item I was aiming for, and hit the undo <whatever> instead..)

View 6 Replies View RelatedI recently did a restore back to the 16th, obviously some programs were effected, mainly the newest installs, however restoring didn't fix the particular issue I was having, so I wanted to Undo the Restore. When I select to Undo the restore it acts like it's returning it to the point it was before the restore, but after it reboots and I log in, I get an error saying it "cannot access some files" to disable my antivirus and try again.I've done that and it's still giving that error. My biggest problem with the restore is that it has affected some setups I had saved on my external hdd. About 60 or so of them now show up as .tmp files. If anyone knows if undoing the restore will resolve the issue on the external drive that would be great, however if there's another way to fix the .tmp problem that would be even better. I wouldn't mind having to use the 'restored' version of my windows but I need those setups so I can fix the effected programs.I'm on 56k and most of those setups were downloaded while at a friends house because they're between 20 and 300mb. Something I don't dare download on dial up internet because it would take a week or more to do it, if the connection didn't time out first.

"Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress."
What I am trying to do is to access my Vista Ultimate computer using my Windows 7 Ultimate computer, and have been doing so this way for more than a year.All of a sudden I start getting the message that I have quoted. I do not know why it started doing that.As well, going in the Users tab of task manager you can see there that I am logged in as a console user.
I have a two year old Dell PC with Windows 7. I got a virus in my computer that by phone and computer takeover Norton located in my MBR. When they cleaned it my computer will no longer boot up. Norton worked with me for three days on the problem but we were unable to fix the computer. I followed other web sites and repaired my MBR but it still will not boot up. I tried System Repair, Check point, Image, and Dell system restore and all failed. I have tried to use the Windows install CD and all I get is a black screen with a flashing cursor and then after 3 minutes the compute attempts to boot again and fails. I tried everything to try and wipe the drive from C prompt and it will not let me. I have very weak computer skills but I can follow directions and I have wiped a previous computer I owned. (I confirmed that my CD drive is working) I also should mention I have a second hard drive on my computer that I backed everything up to.

View 4 Replies View Relatedmy monitor exhibited signs of flickering during start-up, but only minor ones and would just stop at the 'Welcome' screen of windows so I didn't give it much thought. Iv'e been using it with the cpu the same time I bought the monitor.But after some time, the flickering got worse. It went from 1-2 second interval flickers to a whole 10 seconds of blackness before it showed anything.Now,Iv'e got a new cpu but still using the old monitor. After a day or so, the monitor exhibited the first symptoms of my first cpu, so I just dismissed it. But after a week, It got a hell worse, before I even start-up my computer, the monitor doesn't show Analog/Digital at the top-left corner of the screen. PLUS my cpu keeps restarting after I pushed the ON button after 10 seconds or so. Is the monitor responsible for the restart and what could be the reason for the flickering?
