  • Cannot open the program after you restore the backup of the files.

    original title: problems of recovery program

    I had to do a system recovery. When the files have been restored from the backup made on to the DVD-they do not repopulate the original sites, that is to say the restoration has created a section of program in the C drive, but it had only the value default ones that came with the computer since the store - as it was supposed to, given was a cover. However, all of the programs I've added over the years are stuck in the restore file called "Program Files" as most have been downloaded since the ' net, I have no disks. not only that most is time sensitive and have many improvements. How can the Backed files program, now residing in 'My Documents', developed by the backup process located in the C drive program area? When I try to open the program in the restore file, the content and details are listed, but the program does not work. Thanks for any information.

    Hey Dave to Campbell River.

    I'm a bit confused between your question and the answer. Have you already restored your system or if you are trying to implement and obtain information?
    In response to the original question, you can back up your entire hard drive, back up is called a System Image, it will be, as it is said, back up your system.
    A system backup / full copying data files, but not everything on the drive. You cannot use it to restore the entire system.
    I hope that sheds some light on it for you. And fear what (I'm trying to follow the number two of the answer now) you created a backup system, and are now trying to re access to your program files, I'm afraid, you're out of luck. I had to learn the hard way, too, so I hope you are getting information and are not in this situation.
    Hope this has been useful, if you have any other questions, feel free to keep coming them.
    Thanks for posting of answers!

    I can turn on my toshiba satellite by using the windows vista program, but once everything is done loading nothing will open. The start menu will go up but can't do anything from there.

  • Cannot open all programs, particularly .exe files or programs.

    Help!

    I may have an idea of the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.  To give a race to the bottom; I already had utorrent on my computer. I open utorrent and he said that he had a new version/update available, so I've updated (uTorrent) and from there the problems began.  In one of the windows it asked me if I wanted to "Open with this program" and "always open programs like this with" (utorrent) is what he asked.  From there on, I was not able to open anything.

    Even in safe mode, I can't open anything.  All I can do is go on the internet. I can't even open the registry, System Restore, the prompt command or anything that might help me to solve the problem.  All my programs had tried to open in utorrent, but then I deleted it. Now when I try to open something, for example Microsoft Word, it is saidC:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD. EXE "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.  In the control panel to define Associations, create association. »

    Another message that I get when I try to open many other programs or the restoration of the system, the command prompt is:

    'Open with '.
    Choose the program you want to use to open this file:
    File: rstrui.exe
    cmd.exe

    In the box, it recommended programs:
    Internet Explorer

    Other programs

    I doubt it's a virus I have the total package of moy.  I've seen this problem before on a brand new computer I was using utorrent, but I just restarted and it fixed.  Not this time! I am really pulling my hair out!  Please help me if possible.

    Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and click the EXE LNK to reset these file associations.  That should take care of your program files.  I don't know if this will solve the problem with other file types, but at least it's a start.

    I hope this helps.  I would like to know if other types of files are still screwed up or if this problem fixed them as well.

    Good luck!
