• Failed to load the local profile. IO error. All files in My Documents have disappeared. How to restore

  did a normal turn on the computer.  Message came back failed to load the local profile.  IO error.  When he signed me, all my documents in My Documents had disappeared.

  A corrupt profile is fairly easy to recover with minimal losses.  Refer to the following procedure:

  "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

  Corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied by hard drive corruption.  After recovery, scan your hard disk for errors using chkdsk with the /f or/r option

  "How to perform disk error in Windows XP check"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

  The disk check procedure can take hours depending on the size of your hard drive and the amount of corruption and cannot be interrupted, then run it when you won't need your computer for awhile.

• Downloading Firefox, all my saved PDF documents have been turned into a Google Chrome document format, WHY? I want them all change to PDF, HOW?

  Downloading Firefox, all my saved PDF documents have been turned into a Google Chrome document format, WHY? WHY a person like me is not notified before that starts the download process so that they have a chance to 'place' or 'Cancel' the download process? I want that they all be changed to PDF, HOW should I do this?

  Nothing happened to your files. The association for PDF files is messed up, or is the icon cache.

  1. Click round Windows logo in the taskbar and choose default programs.
  2. Click "associate any type of file or Protocol with a program.
  3. Select PDF from the list, then click on change program button.
  4. Choose the program that you want to manage PDF files. By clicking on the files PDF in Windows Explorer or the desktop then open them in this application.

  To clear the cache of the icon, see the directions to

  • http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/49819-icon-cache-rebuild.html

  As far as I know, Firefox does not have PDF files somehow. There is a proposal to associate files PDF in Firefox when they are not already associated with an application, but has not been implemented to date (bug 787674).

• Error "Windows explore has stopped working" when you open the file in my documents

  Original title: opening a file in the folder my documents

  Whenever I try to open a file in my documents folder, specifically a CV that I downloaded on a construction site. I get a message that windows Explorer has stopped working?

  Hi dalintn,

  1. What is the file format of the document?

  2. are you able to open documents from other locations?

  3. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  Check if the similar problem persists when you access the document from any other location on the computer.

  Method 1

  This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that you run a SFC scan, which would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  For more information please visit the link below.

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you do clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

  (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

   

  I hope this helps!

• I have usb, but all files has been deleted due to formatting... can I still recover these deleted files in my USB?

  because when I open my USB... He said that I need to format my usb key... so I did the format... but when I opened again after formatting... out there no more files inside my USB... all gone...

  because when I open my USB... He said that I need to format my usb key... so I did the format... but when I opened again after formatting... out there no more files inside my USB... all gone...

  You do not have a 'usb '. Without doubt, you have a hard drive or a USB that connects to the computer via a usb port.

  I correct not give you a hard time, but it is always important to use the correct terminology when you ask a question; If you do not, you run the risk that your question will be misunderstood and you will get an incorrect answer.

  By definition, formatting deletes all files on a device. You wrote something about this feature from the formatting? If this isn't the case, you should be able to recover all your files easily. There are several third-party programs that can do it for you. Do a search on the web to unformat and you will have several choices.

• Cannot open Firefox even after deleting all files and profiles of school boards.

  My computer auto-installé the new Firefox version 40.0.2 (and later 40.0.3) and the browser does not open. It worked and I have not received any error message. I tried every fix I can find here, and even manually, I deleted all of my profiles, folders, program files, uninstalled, reinstalled, restarted my computer, and it still not open. I click on the Firefox button in my bar tasks, the charging symbol goes for a few seconds, then more nothing. Firefox opens and runs without any problems on other computer on computer accounts. I even copied the files of Firefox to the another computer account on which it runs and replaced all files on the computer account that Firefox does not on, rebooted and still nothing. I've been dealing with this issue for over 2 weeks now and am very frustrated because I spent hours trying everything I can find.

  This fix does not work either... tried previously and tried again. However I FINALLY got my Firefox to work on mine. I ended up finding a virus free online (ESET online scanner) scanner and do a full scan on my computer in order to remove anything that could cause a problem. I also went through all my computer programs and documents and cookies and temporary internet files and deleted everything which is not necessary or if it is no longer used. I thought it must be something else because Firefox has no problems with other users of the computer, and my original profile worked very well under other computer users when transferred manually. I think something was interfering with Firefox, which is why none of the fixes here worked because they targeted Firefox itself when it seems that it wasn't the problem.

  Thank you all for your comments!
