  • I have Firefox version 34.0.5. All my favorites are gone and I can't add new bookmarks. The 'library' is empty. Help!

    All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop and toolbar on the bottom is misssing. all I get is my pic of screensaver. I can't draw anything.

    Oh! If you think it's a Virus/Malware then take your HARD drive internal to another machine and have it is scanned with a good Antivirus updated. If nothing else works the hard way is to format your machine.

    Since we have no way to know what you
    already tried or what the program that has been
    you were happy with... this question is difficult to
    fix.

    Question... When you view your photos now
    .. are you using Windows Live Photo Gallery?

    I'm guessing it was Windows Photo
    Gallery?

    Perhaps the two programs are still available...

    I wonder if you could go to... Start Orb / All
    Programs / Windows Photo Gallery... and
    the launch of the old version?

  • Almost all my desktop icons disappeared, as well as their relevant applications. I was no longer in Classic view.

    I use Windows 7 Pro x 64.  Last night I ran the latest offerings from update, which has been a long process involving several dozen Articles.  When I turned on the computer this morning, almost all of my desktop icons disappeared, as well as their relevant applications.  I was no longer in the classical view; resembled a view of windows 8.  I tried the system restore, that wouldn't work and returned with an error message saying that HS has not been installed on the machine.  Cannot start in safe mode.  Do I have any options?  I have to re - install the OS?  Linux would prevent this kind of problem?  Thank you for your cooperation and assistance.  * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *

  • All my desktop icons disappeared from my Windows 7 Desktop

    I created several icons on Desktop 4 computers after installing clean computers with Windows 7 Profession (whether with the 32-bit or 64-bit). After a few days, some of the desktop icons disappear. However, when I click on the toolbar of office at the bottom of the Windows desktop, icons that disappeared from the Office were always present and available in the list of desktop toolbar. I've seen many users have the same problem on the Internet but no solution to the problem. Any suggestion for the fix.

    Hi guys,.

    I found the cause of her mysteriously disappear from the Windows 7 desktop icons and the reason why the Show Desktop icons now and then get UN-ticked.

    INFRARECORDER is! Try for yourself, when you start Infrarecorder and close the bottle, go take a look at 'See the desktop icons', it is not checked (but the icons are still there). Check it on again and start Infrarecorder... He is not checked again.

    This Windows 7 "bug" is irritating for me since the beginning and now I found the cause: it is Infrarecorder that causes this problem.

    Test it and please let me know and spread the word :-)

  • all my desktop icons were gone I have not all documents, photos etc frpm a user account

When I made the other day all my desktop icons went I have all the documents, pictures, etc. I though I had lost them up to what I went to c/users/selected my user account and everything is there. I seems the account that I click the home screen is not a link to my account?

    Please can someone help?

    I tried to restore to an earlier date that did not work.

    When you create a new user, the directory will not present until you connect for the first time this new user.  The fast way so disconnect and connect under the newly created user.  After that, the folder would be present.

    The way alternative copy of the files on an external drive and copy then back also works, but there are also that you connect as long as this new user to do this.

    The top of the default user folder account Security page is [heart] to this user and administrators only (that's why the lock symbol).  You should be able to bypass this security, if you are signed in with an account that has administrator privileges.  Otherwise, you will need to log on as the owner of this folder, right-click on the folder-> Security (tab) and change the security to allow access by other users.

  • All my desktop icons disappeared

    Hello everyone.

    I played just age of Empires 2 The Forgotten when it crashed. It worked well for 4-5 days, so I didn't think much, so I tried to play again, when it crashed once more. After that, I went to my program files in the C drive and deleted all the files saved there under the track where the game auto-tout saved. In any case, after that I had to restart the game, so I went to the office and only my 'computer' icon was there, everything else was not the case.

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate, and tried methods such as 'see the desktop icons', 'folders', run a quick scan (which has highlighted some performance issues, but it was especially the deletion of junk files / cleaning of certain registry keys, I did).  Also, I restarted my PC right after seeing only 1 icon, which brought me back some of the desktop icons, I had. Usually restart before that always gave me all of my icon back. However, that time that is not now and I lost all my files saved in both the Office & the my part of documents.  This includes files that I had downloaded.  Please note that I went to CCleaner to check if the programs were still there (the icon removed those) and they seem to have gone quite as well.

    I want to know what I can do to recover these files, because some of them are needed very soon.  Please help me. Thank you.

    Note: Do not create a new data on your computer, because it can replace your hard drive and may interfere with the recovery of files.

    The following hotfixes must be attempted in the order listed.

    Check on the status of the file

    First of all, go to C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop , replacing C and username with the appropriate information.  If you see your files, they are not removed.

    Restart Explorer.exe

    1. Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE at the same time.
    2. Press start the Task Manager.
    3. Go to the processes tab and look to explorer.exe.
    4. Right-click and select end process.
    5. Then go to file (above) and select new task (run...) and type explorer.exe in the box.
    6. Press ENTER.

    Rebuild the icon Cache

    1. Show all hidden files (Folder Options).
    2. Go to \AppData\Local C:\Users\ (username)
    3. Search IconCache.db and delete (right click and press delete).
    4. Restart your computer.

    Checking system files

    1. Go to the start menu.
    2. Type cmd and click with the right button on the result.
    3. Select run as administrator.
    4. Type sfc/scannow and press ENTER.

    File recovery programs

    1. Plug in a USB key with the free space on your computer.
    2. Download a file recovery program (for example Recuva).

    A bunch of files for Windows recovery programs can be found here: http://alternativeto.net/software/recuva/?platform=windows

    3. install the program file recovery.

    4. follow the on-screen instructions to get your files back.

    5 SAVE YOUR RECOVERED ON a USB port FILES.

    I hope this has helped you.  If this does not work, go to one of your backups.  If you don't have a backup, restore your computer to an earlier date before, this has happened.  This article has useful info: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-System-Restore-on-Windows-7

    Oh and I don't add Personas Plus I didn't know if this would be helpful or not

    Hello

    Hmm, this sounds like Firefox has made a mess, sorry about your problems! I wonder if it would be the simplest solution to reset all Firefox here. That would restore most of the default settings, but you keep all your settings and bookmarks, passwords, etc. You would lose your themes and extensions you installed well. What do you think? If you want to give it a try, follow these instructions: Refresh Firefox – reset the parameters and modules

    Let me know if it works or if you prefer a more detailed troubleshooting process.

    See you soon,.

  • I have photoshop elements 10 and I can not add text

    OK so I have items 10 and Im trying to add my text it just worked on a photo I went to modify another image and now my text will not be displayed, he said his it in the layer window but I can't see anything someone can help me?

    On the text tool options bar, click on the little arrow, up, left and reset tool

    Don't forget that your font color is different from the background color

    You may need to enter a point value for the policy manually. You are not limited to the values of the drop-dow. Try to 120 or 140. This has to do with the resolution of the image file.

    Please report back with your progress.
