After update on Windpws 8.1, applications and desktop windows files are gone

• Sansa Clip is not display or play WMP and Explorer Windows files are on it

  I used the Clip fortunately because I first had and managed to put in place.  I keep a large stock of podcasts on it and update the element using WMP sync several times a week when the podcasts are updated.

  I installed the 1.01.29 updated firmware when it came out.  (From Windows Explorer it shows as 1.01.29A for some reason any.)

  Since then, many of the podcasts that I already had on the Clip, which I listened to several times, became invisible and unplayable on the Clip.  However, I can see them in Explorer Windows and WMP, for example from the view of the Albums.  (I don't know why the synchronization WMP process puts podcasts on the Clip of music, rather than podcasts, but I don't really like).

  I deleted all the files, reformatted the Clip and put the files back on.  Same story.  I also tried the addition of files that don't have no/plan lounge pulling them to the Windows Explorer.  Same story.

  The really strange thing is is not random which arise and which don't.  All the podcasts in German, old and new, two web sources, view and play very well.  All podcasts new and French I had do not show in the display of the item.  Front of 1.01.29 all the files from the two sources has shown / played very well (with one exception, which I will post on separately.)

  Does anyone else have this?  Any ideas?  Can I send sample files which work and which don't work for Sansa support if requested.

  Place podcasts in the podcast folder, or make sure that the tag ID type is set to Podcast.

• Start menu are become virgins and desktop icons & shortcuts are gone, need help to restore them if possible

  I contracted a virus of webroot, and although it has not crashed my pc completely, he has managed to erase my Start menu and 'all' of my icons/shortcuts office. And most importantly, I lost the Internet Explorer icon, even if I always still have and can use it through other options like my email provider when I receive mail or messages which sucks because I'm use to just clicking on my provider internet icon and it takes me right to it. It's another thing my provieder icon went too which allows you to be on my desk, so I wonder if there is a way to restore my icons on the desktop & Start menu. When their shattered virus he left me with a black screen but my toolbar was still there, I also bought the Norton 360 and installed because it all happened due to my previous expired anti-virus software. Norton 360 has helped and supported & stored all my folders and files that have been analyzed and are good, but I have no idea on how to get them back where they belong. Help! I guess I need hooked on Phonics or something... lolol

• My computor would not start windows, so I got the opption to boot with the disc. But with the TI istalled a new windows 7 on my computor and all my files are gone. How can I get the file.

  second copy of windows 7 has been installed. How can I retrieve my files from the old copy of windows 7

  That depends on the options you chose when you made the installation.  If you chose to keep your old files, you can view the folder c:\windows.old .  If you opted to install on another partition, you can retrieve the files from the old partition.  Otherwise, you would have to have supported your computer before reinstalling.

  When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. External hard drives 1 TB are about $85 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

  http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

  Good luck.

• I use Lightroom 5 and all my files are gone.  I have all the pictures, but they are not classified more.  How can I get them back in their cases?

  I downloaded the day before and everything was fine.  Open 5 Lightroom the next morning and all records have disappeared, spill of thousands of photos in "All photographs."  I also can not download for Lightroom more.  I get the message: the following files were not imported because they could not be read.  Thank you for your help.

  A copy of Θcran of exactly what your LR screen looks like might help.

  Do you still have the 'Files' header in the sidebar below featuring "all photographs"?

  What happens if you right-click on the photo and select "go to folder in the library.

  The error message on the new imports you report confusion often really means that LR cannot write where you tell him.

• When using my computer, all applications and the windows are closed at the same time, got disconnected and the computer turns off as if someone stops manually.

  Original title: it's a virus that's causing this?

  It happened a few times now. While I use my computer, all applications and the windows are closed at the same time, I am disconnected and the computer is off, as if someone manually stops the computer. I turn on the computer and log in and everything seems to be okay. No data deleted, not that I could find and detect anyway. One day when I turned on the computer, it run chkdsk before doing the usual startup. I use the computer for 2 years and this is the first time, she never did a chkdsk on its own. I used Microsoft Essentials and no viruses were found.

  Should I worry?

• The access permissions to the NTFS file in "C:\windows" and "C:\Program files" are not secure

  Hey there
  Had a minor shock after I discovered that the access permissions default to the "limited users" in "C:\Windows\" and "C:\Program files\" are raised by the image automatically XP - Pro installed on my Tecra A6.

  Default access permissions to the NTFS file in "C:\windows" and "C:\Program files" for "A limited number of users" should not have permissions "File/writing data Creation" or "Creation of folders/adding data. This opens up for what is called dll redirection attacks (ref: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/)

  When you install a Win XP a normal retail or OEM Windows XP cd these two folders are special protected by this measure (not allowing the permissions listed for limited users). Installation procedure of your image work it around (in established Microsoft) measure and open breaches in security.

  Now I have to drop all these permissions and hope that all of the utilities of your work for limited users after that that, otherwise you get a very unhappy customer on your hands. ;)

  Hi Henrik

  Thanks for the information. I have a common user of Toshiba and I have never heard of such attacks to redirect m .dll.
  However, I think that if each user install antivirus software (nothing unusual at the time; everyone should use) and activate the Microsoft Windows updates and OS firewall should be safe.

  Greetings :D

  PS: I read in this forum that sometimes some Toshiba applications as energy saving does not work under limited account.
