Desktop appears again without any data. System restore fails to «incomplete system restore»

Original title: System Restore failed

My computer turns off on its own yesterday. After the reboot, my office was back to default settings. Everything that I had stored on the desktop disappeared and I also lost all my favorite places. I tried restoring the system using different dates but it said system restore incomplete. I've lost everything?

    We have already responded to this above. What is the reason why you want to clone the instance without data? You clone production?

  • I bought a dell inspiron 1440 without any operating system. What should I install first, the dell drivers or windows vista?

    I use the windows vista installation disc supplied with my previous pc. I tried to do a clean install, inserted the disc into the cd/dvd drive. No installation window. The screen says "windows loading files..." After a few hours, the display shows something like

    "" windows has not... error: file boot32.exe is corrupt or not found. "."

    Then the Dell XP disc is great to use. However, do not install an operating system is usually caused by (in order of probability):

    1. you are trying to install with other devices connected to the computer. Unplug them before trying to make an installation.

    2. "" "" defective installation media. "" Check the CD/DVD installation for scratches, tasks. Try another machine.

    3. bad optical drive. Test with another CD/DVD bootable or Exchange for a well-known work.

    4. faulty RAM. Test with Memtest86 + www.memtest.org . You will download the .iso image file to create a bootable cd. Burn the file with the third party burning software *-as an image, not in the form of data. Then start with the media that you did (you may need to change the boot priority in your BIOS so that the optical drive is the first boot device). The test runs immediately. The test run for an hour or two--at least that errors are seen immediately. If you get any errors, replace the RAM.

    * It is not necessary to have a third party burning software in Windows 7 since Win7 natively allows to burn an .iso. Other operating systems require it. A good free choice ImgBurn comes from www.imgburn.com .

    5. bad hard drive. Test with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr... You create a bootable CD with the files you download. Burn the file with a third-party burning software (unless you have Windows 7, that allows to record the .isos natively) - as an image, not in the form of data. Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

    6. other hardware components are faulty.

  • lack of system restore - the animated icon appears to indicate the data collection, but then it stops

    When I try the system restore, I am able to choose a restore date. I then accept the details and press next to accept. The animated icon appears to indicate the data collection, but it then stops. Therefore, the system is not shut down and restart (which I think it is supposed to do). If you try to select another date that is the same thing. any ideas? I think that I was previously exposed to a system whose consequences restore virus had to hide all my files. I'm still not programe files on the start menu.

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest you to run the Microsoft safety scanner to ensure that the system is free of infection by the virus:

    Note: you can lose data if the parser detects a corrupted data file.

    Method 2: Run the SFC scan and check if system files are intact:

  • My reminderfox module missing after firefox update. How can I reinstall without losing any data?

    my module of Fox reminder disappeared after updating firefox. I can install this add-on again, but then I lose all the data that existed before the update. How can I reinstall without losing any data?

    Back up your ReminderFox data before reinstalling. This is stored in a separate file in the folder of the parameters active Firefox (also known as your Firefox profile folder). You can find this file by using a button on the page of troubleshooting information. Either:

    • Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table, click on "view file". Look for a folder named reminderfox and copy it somewhere safe.

  • Laptop will not load Explorer - is there a way to download Firefox without using Explorer? Restore the all too recent dates!

    I think that affected versions of Windows Explorer (we have a card in the laptop, which I believe is the origin of the problem) so that it is more load. I would like to switch to Firefox, but do not know how to load it without exploring. My Google Earth goes to internet and my e-mail program (Mozilla Thunderbird) still work so the wireless connection still works, but Explorer does not work. Can anyone help? 'Restore' my dates are all too recent. I restored once reworked Explorer, but Windows downloaded their upgrades again and now does not load Explorer. The oldest date of 'restoration' is too recent. I type this request for help on another computer.

    You can use another computer (such as your local library) to download firefox to go and put it on a USB key.

    I put the hd in my pc and I format. Is it possible to do that without losing data?

  • How to recover deleted Windows 7 fonts without making a system restore

    Hello

    Last summer, I deleted a number of fonts Windows 7 I knew I was never going to use. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted some I really wanted to delete. But I let it pass in time. Now, I wish I had some of those back that I accidentally deleted (for example Baskerville, Californian, Goudy).

    I searched the previous discussions on this subject, but none (which this one: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/location-to-download-accidentally-deleted-fonts/b43a8d76-2889-41f2-be0c-9e7c27e2cf30) helped. That the thread is on the removal of thousands of additional fonts, do not restore deleted fonts Windows. And responses here especially suggest more drastic solutions that I want to do (System Restore [that would change too many things I've done since the abolition of the police], reinstalling Windows) or suggest other programs to remove additional fonts and back to default values, which are always present for opus (I have download the Powerpoint Viewer who did indeed) (, restore some of the fonts I lost, but not all of them.)

    In any case, my problem is more in line with this thread of a person showing last year. http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-files/location-to-download-accidentally-deleted-fonts/b43a8d76-2889-41F2-be0c-9e7c27e2cf30

    This is exactly my problem. Unfortunately, the response of the MVP is very helpful. The site 1001freefonts.com has obviously NO premium fonts in Windows 7/Office 2007! (Wouldn't an MVP already know that?)

    But my question is basically the same as the OP is that thread: there is no place where existing OS licensed users go to download the font files and then install themselves?

    I mean, if MS is able to verify a valid property of an OS of Windows when running the various updates, why in the name of all that is logical doesn't it not provide a link to re-download deleted Windows fonts for valid users?

    So, is there a way to retrieve all of the fonts in Windows 7/Office 2007 without the drastic system restore or OS reinstall often suggested?

    Updates on how to deal with this issue? Any other suggestions?

    Thank you!  :-)

    There is no short way to reinstall the software that included the fonts or get lucky and find the fonts desired on the web somewhere.  This is a list of fonts that did not exist in Windows 7  Often fonts are installed by applications, so in looking at the list of available fonts is not necessarily tell you where each of them came.
