Directory of any xp cd to replace my missing?

Hello
· Are you able to start on the computer?
· You get the error message?
· What anti-virus program do you use?
Follow these methods and check if that helps:
Method 1:
I suggest you to download and run the latest Microsoft security on your computer Scanner and check if it helps:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: the data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.
Method 2:
I suggest you install the latest anti-virus Microsoft Security essential on the computer program and check if it helps.

Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 3:
If you have Windows XP CD you can try to check and scan of System File Checker running if this can help.

How can I return the sent and received faxes in the fax in Windows 7 program?
Hello
Here are the details. I had some computer repairs and fax sent and received files were gone. From a previous post here, I found the sent and received faxes on one stored hard drive in C:\programdata\microsoft\windowsNT. I looked at them and they were all there. The thing that is missing is something that can list the fax sent and received in the program so that they are.
I tried the fax software and items sent and received were still missing.
Thus, the data is there but not accessible from the program.
What I am doing wrong?
(Moved to programs)
Hello
