desktop computer; delete; recover

Accidentally, I copied my desktop folder in my contacts folder. Given that this took a lot of memory, I erased my contacts folder desktop folder, and it erased everything on my desk. I can even find the Recycle Bin to undo the deletion. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very happy! Thank you!

    I received the message that my iphone storage is almost full.  It is mainly from photos and videos.  I deleted the videos and have uploaded my photos on my hard drive of computer desk top of the page (which is a Dell non Apple products).  Can I now enter into the iphoto library and delete photos without losing those I downloaded on my desktop computer.  If so, how do I?  Thank you D

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

    You're confused system recovery and system restore.

    System Restore makes the settings from your computer to an earlier date; It will not reinstall the operating system.

    I have a new desktop computer HP with Vista Home Premium 64 - bit, with 8 GB of RAM, and when I try to run Zoo Tycoon 2, I get the following error message:

    You need at least 256 MB of system memory to run Zoo Tycoon 2. (0Mo detected)

    Y at - it a patch? I have read many "Workaround" and none of them work. I tried to run in Windows XP compatibility mode and it didn't work.

    Hey tprefling,
     
    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers site!
     
    Right-click on the zt.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator" to launch the program.
     
    See if you are able to play the game.

    If this does not work, turn your computer to clean the start State and see if the fgame plays very well.

    To put your computer in a clean boot, follow these steps:
     
    Note: If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.
     
    1. sign the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
     
    2. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
     
    3. on the general tab, click Selective startup, and then clear the check box load startup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)
     
    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.
     
    5. click OK and then click on restart.
     
    For more information about the clean boot, see the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
     
    In addition, change the size of virtual memory and see that helps. For more information, see:

  • I sell desktop computer and need to know how to remove all of the pc?

    I sell desktop computer and need to know how to remove all of the pc?

    The most difficult part of the first paragraph is to create the boot floppies - which can be complicated and requires installation of Windows disks.

    Perhaps a third simple but effective alternative is simply to re - install Windows on your computer from the disc that came with your computer or from the recovery partition.  Resettlement will delete all files on the disc and replace them with the New Installation of Windows.  At this point, the fragments of your old files may remain on your hard drive.  So once relocation complete, download and install the freeware 'Eraser' software, run it and you want to specify the "free space" erased on your hard drive.  This will overwrite firmly all the data remains that has not already been overwritten by the Windows Installation.

  • Is there a way to remove the icons on my desktop without deleting the associated files when right-clicking on the icon does not offer this option?

    Most of the icons that appear on my desk I have download the new application files can be removed without uninstall or remove related files.  But when I right click on the icons that appeared after reinstalling Panda Internet Security and download of Adobe Reader software to date there is no option to remove the icon, there is rather a prompt asking you if I'm sure I want to move the file to the trash - which I did not.  When I look at 'properties', I see that the location for the two is my office.  I'm trying to reduce the visual clutter, is it possible to do?

    Hello

    Click right icon - properties - general tab - Type of file - if it is a LNK then it's only a
    Shortcut and if you DELETE it then only it is removed and the underlying program is not
    affected. To see where the program check the tab shortcut - target:.

    If she is not a LNK and is a. EXE, com, bat and others so if if you delete the file
    (which is not a shortcut) and then the program will not work. Shortcuts usually have ARROWS
    on them in the lower left corner.

    For programs that are stand-a-lone (were copied on the desktop and not installed) you
    can make files elsewhere and copy them (and other parts such as.) DLL or. CFG
    only as examples and some will have no other room) to then remove them from the
    Desktop computer. If you have any programs that were installed on the desktop, you need to uninstall
    them and their re - install elsewhere.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why change my desktop and delete my Vista files?

    Original title: Why Vista change my desktop and delete my files?  I have to do a system restore to get back everything.  How to stop the changes occur?

    These changes occur too often, and I don't know how to stop them.  A system restore works, but I'm the only person who knows enough to make one - don't know other people who use this computer on system restore.  What should I do to keep my current settings and files intact?
    Thank you.

    Hi Rhonda,

    1. What do you mean when you say that the desktop is changed and delete my files?

    2. what files are deleted?

    3. the question occurs in other accounts of users also?

    4. have you made a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

    Typically an installation of a program or a driver can cause an unexpected change to your computer or put Windows behaves in unpredictable ways. This can be corrected when you perform a system restore.

    Step 1:

    You can check if the problem occurs in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2:

    If you are able to boot into safe mode without any problem, you can try to perform a clean boot and check if the problem occurs in normal mode.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

  • Upgrade a Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer

    Hello, I'm recovering because as far as I can get out my Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop... right now there windows vista service pack 2 32-bit. The processor is an AMD Athlon 64 dual core 4450e to 2.3 GHz with 3 GB of ram at 800 MHz. First of all, since the processor is 64-bit, I was wondering if a windows 7 64 upgrade is recommended... Secondly, I know that even though I have a 64-bit processor, the maximum capacity of ram I have is 4 GB due to the motherboard, but with this card mother, is possible to increase the speed of greater than 800 MHz ram (for the motherboard specifications are hard to find). I was also thinking to replace the graphics card, but what I am seeing that will probably require a different diet and I am on a limited budget. Any suggestion? Please take into consideration the fact that this upgrade is not for games etc, its a home computer that I'm trying to be as updated as possible for a minimal cost. I am realistic, however, and I know it's an old PC. More I am not worried about existing programs (32-bit), I certainly intend on a new installation

    RickCraw,

    Here are the specifications of your Compaq Presario SR5710F desktop computer and its card mother MCP61PM-HM (Iris8). According to the specification, this model has PCIe x 16 graphics card slot and a 250 watt power supply.

    (1) most retail graphics cards require a 300 watts or more big power supply system to work properly. Install a new graphics card to detail will require the replacement of power supply as well.

    (2) Yes, you can install Windows 7 64 bit on this computer. I recommend the upgrade of RAM at a minimum of 4 GB for use with a Windows 64-bit operating system.

    (3) NO, you cannot change the speed of the RAM. Your system is limited to the following specifications/configurations of memory;

    Dual channel memory architecture

    Two connectors DIMM DDR2 240-pin

    Supported DIMM types:

    PC2-4200 (533 MHz)

    PC2-5300 (667 MHz)

    PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

    Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules

    Supports up to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB = 4 GB)

  • How to remove fasteners of the persistent disks that do not have a desktop computer?

    Hello community,

    We have a small problem in our society. We use VMware View 4.5 and really like it. Our office is based on Win7 and everything works really well. But for some Ford, we managed to create persistent discs attached... without a desktop computer?

    As you can see on the capture screen, desktop computers are used with persistent records. Five of them are assigned to a user, but do not have a desktop computer. Users can work, because they have a new drive persistens, created automatically. But the 'old' are now and can not be spare, cause her are not attached! But without disassembly, we cannot delete it. Just posted discs can be deleted... it's a doom loop

    So maybe someone has already had the same error? I mean... the files do not exist on our storage and users can work, there is no problem with this, but it seems that the database of the vmware view do not know, that the files have disappeared... is there a way to delete the entries in the database for this five-disc?

    We have tried to export (with the tool on the server) and re-imported, but it doesn't work, cause, you are not able to remove things when importing data backups... What can do us?

    Hello
    Take a look at the link:
