Hello

I had a Trojan horse infecton also running a fake antivirus program telIing me I had a lot of problems and I have to pay $90! I managed to restore the computer to a week before it happened and run the Norton System check and removed infections. But all my JPEG and MP3 files have disappeared! I want to remove these before a complete restoration. How can I find these please? /

Hello

Here's a possible solution that I gave to a poster in these Forums with a problem similar to yours:

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-system/Vista-system-restore-issue/6bd382b5-8f3d-48fa-9ABC-3792f53db945

You may also still have some malware installed.

Read the information on the link provided (Section 19 and 21) on the way to "unmask" data and Start Menu as a few skins of Malware.

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Windows-Vista-recovery

While you're there, it would be a good idea to follow in their footsteps of malware removal to ensure that your system is clean.

This is a very good general Malware cleaning page there.

See you soon.

  • I have two computers in Windows 7 which will not each other on my network. All other computers will see and can share files, but they connect between them.

    My HP laptop has installed Win7 Ult, the Fujitus Win7 Pro.

    Both computers were sharing the files back, outside a residential group, for a period of time. One day, they are stopped. No changes have been made to computers. I tried a restore of the system on each of them, and it did not help. I re windows loaded on the HP and that did not help. I don't think that it is only a permission of the questions that I used a windows machine 7 third to map actions to each of the individual laptops using their respective IDs. I can transfer files from one of them the "machine in the middle", then the action of the other, or as a copy/paste between them directly.

    WSD and NetBT will not solve one machine for others, but all other computers on the network will dispay on each machine. Only, they refuse to see each other. I have disabled the firewall. Password protected sharing, ensured that all netbios in the registry settings are correct. Pings between them are inaccessible returnded.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • missing files from lightroom CR2, but they are still on the hard drive

    I tried uninstall/reinstall version 5.5 and 5.7

    It is only happing with some files

    I tried new catalog

    When I reimport them it obscures the file as a duplicate until I say to allow duplicates.

    Lightroom displays files in the files of the Archive, I think that is the question.

    I think I got it, it was not well documented feature.

    When you import, you are given the option to create another copy of the raw as a backup file.

    I recently did the update online to 5.7 and it did an uninstall of 5.5 then installed 5.7 instead of simply adds the updated files.

    During this time he must have updated the catalogue with the backup/archive folder. Once it did I saw is no longer my CR2 file where they should have been.

    To resolve this case fully, I have to move the Archives to a location outside of the images folder and re-import the missing files.

    Sync did not work for me... I suggest all to ensure your backup/archiving is not in the pictures folder.

  • Missing files from the catalog

    Recently, I noticed that 18 files containing images captured during the last half of 2015 are missing from my catalog.  All my images are placed in a single catalog.  These records and images placed in these, are present in the main folder on my hard drive where all my images are stored, catalog backups that I created after each important Lightroom use and in the trash.  I can say with certainty, that I have did not remove these files and pictures accidentally or intentionally.  I suspect that these images can be imported again but probably no parameters and, perhaps, of metadata.  I know that I can go back to the last backup of the catalog that contains these images but I would lose a significant amount of work done during the last two weeks, marking hundreds of images with keywords, and adjusting the parameters of development.

    Oh I hope someone can explain this situation and help me with a resolution.

    DJ is right; It doesn't really matter.

    The only reason to have a distinctive folder structure is if it helps find stuff browsing the Finder; but it is the poor way to find photos that it's not worth putting a lot of effort in. Some applications and other things can cause you to need a folder; for example, I have a folder called 'For the Forums' or something that I export to Lr, so I can find pictures to download on forums like this. But I do not import even 90% of files in there (I could MOVE JPEG files in there in Lr, but it's very very very different from export tell a RAW edited under a PNG image to this folder.) And once exported, I don't need to import export).

    Some applications want to a dedicated folder, as Mylio. Sometimes a folder contains images that do not belong to me. I love dates because I move older files off my boot drive to external to save space. I often add a name of place or another template to a folder when I'm still editing and play with them; often not. I have some folders on an external named for the place because I took so many shots, but they tend to be just to say "EBRPD/Tiilden." I have to do some moving off Lr because my pictures folders contain files (such as PPM, dop sidecars and some other stuff) that Lr will not move.

    Here are some examples:

  • How do I get missing files from my office to my Lightroom 5 catalog?

    Here's the problem: I have some files I know are on my desk. When I click "Import", LR takes me to the screen, or the next layer where I see the files in their hard drives. I click on the hard drive which has my 'stuff '. I see the file for my Photos with Lightroom. I click on it. When I go down to where the records that are "missing" on the catalog on the library page, I see them. If I go where I want to import to (on the right panel), they are there.

    I just don't see them in records, under the section the library catalogue.

    How can I get the files that are not listed on the library to the library?

    It is very difficult to explain without a person being able to see what I see.

    Thank you

    Maybe I misunderstood... my mistake. However, in the future please do not use the word 'file' when you really want to say 'folder '.

    You claim that these folders appear in the import section, but not in the main page of the library (I presume in the hand side left panel records). Is this correct?

    This means that you must import photos into these files in Lightroom and then folders will show up in the library panel folders module.

    I'm assuming that you encrypted these files using the available XP Pro Encrypting File System (EFS).  Unless you've backed up your encryption certificates or have a backup of the image-style where you can completely restore your system to exactly how it was, you will have great difficulty to recover these files.  Required for the use of EFS is the short article.  Particularly in the paragraph titled "why you should back up your certificates.

    It is possible that the remains of your old user still exist on your disk.  If so, there a program designed specifically for people in your situation that may be able to retrieve the certificate.  No guarantee, however, but it might be worth trying:
