After the update and restart my computer was like a whole new vista version and the version of office business. All files and emails and contacts and other programs have disappeared!
I did a system restore to run today. He had updated 8 minutes before all this happened, but I couldn't say what update caused this. It's important, so I guess that vista. All of my Web site and software adobe software for forms and emails, files, photos, everything disappeared as if today, I bought the computer Office exccept was there, but empty. I have even been asked to set up an e-mail account. I don't know how it happened with an update and cannot lose another day to such a waste of time. I work and am finishing my doctorate so the stability of my work being it is quite serious. How this happened and how can I keep it doesn't happen. I backup to carbonite.com and have now checked, contacts, emails by the intermediary of today and all the files, but it's scarYYYYY! I was never warned or the ability to restart or given in error messages.

Browser blackBerry Smartphones and other programs have gone
I made a backup with Desktop Manager, then I tried to upgrade the applications that I had installed on the device and I got a fatal error telling me that the process could not continue.
After that time, some applications on my 9500 aren't here anymore (browser, Facebook) and even with some old backups do they not appear.
What could I do? This phone gives me just problems, I can't wait to buy an iPhone.
Love the threats, lol. Very cute.
So look at the options > advanced > applications. Applications are?
If so, you have on the device, keep to search all folders and make sure that they are not hidden.
If not, try this (given that these two applications you mentioned require a services directory):
1. options > advanced > host Routing Table > Menu > register.
2 send your service from your carrier's BIS site books.
http://www.BlackBerryFAQ.com/index.php/Where_can_I_log_into_my_BIS_account%3F3. with the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart
For your old backups, where they appear? You use Desktop Manager > Backup/Restore > advanced > on the left hand side choose file > open and position yourself where your backup IPD files.
Good luck. If you really want to help in this forum, please continue to ask. Ridiculous threats are displaced, we are all volunteers here, eager to help up to a point that you treat users here with the same respect that you expect of others. I read your other thread on the issue of Firewall and do not understand how we expect this user to have something from you your sarcastic remarks.

Your list of plugins in "Details of the system more" Watch 1.6.0_31 of next generation Java plug-in for browsers Mozilla for Java should not be blocked.
Could you post a link to a Web page where Java does not work for you? YouTube uses the Flash, not Java. Here is a list of the test pages of Java that you can try to verify that Java works, of http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Testing_Java
- Test of your Machine (JVM) Java virtual on java.com.

Moreover, I see in your list of plugins you also the VLC media player Plugin Web 2.0.0 so, it is possible that the VLC plugin is causing a conflict if YouTube or other videos do not work. See Fix common audio and graphics problems (you may have to disable the VLC Media Player plugin in the Add-ons-> list of Plugins for some media to play).

Try these steps and check if that helps:
** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.
1. close all programs and stop the laptop.
2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)
3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).
4. put the battery back and start the computer
5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.
6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.
7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.
Also update your graphics card drivers.
It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!

Original title: Weird problem.
My computer says it is connected to the network and the network is connected to the internet, but I can't access what whether the internet associated with such sites as Web and other programs which require an internet connection. I have reset the router and the computer many times and the problem is still there. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Very strange that this issue has been raised suddenly and even system restore back the working time is not solve it. At this point, I suspect something mischievous because restoration of return must be a guaranteed fix. If it worked on Friday, it should work if restore you backup on Friday.
I ask you to check if your network card has got an update which could have features broke, but that can't be the problem because the restoration of return would be handed over the old version.
Indeed, using restore in a working time essentially says that this isn't a configuration problem, because configuration is in a known-to-be-working state (because he worked at the restored time).
I would therefore start at this stage, verification of hardware, antenna, connections, equipment devices.
