Document library in Windows 7 no longer works

My OS is Windows 7 and a few days ago I received the following whenever I tried to open the documents folder on the start menu. "Documents.library - ms no longer works." The library can be removed safely from your computer. Records that have been added will not suffer. "Duh... it seems to me that if Microsoft had done something there was a reason for that. And if she broke it, oh well just delete and be happy?
My main question is if I just delete the file/folder that happens when I click the documents button in the start menu it works as it should? How about you, the next time you buy a new car and the brakes fail, don't worry, head for the snow more Bank? Is there a solution to the difficulty of the library of documents-ms?

To fix, follow these steps:

(1) open the Windows Explorer.
(2) to the left of the window, click library, and then choose restore the default libraries.

    original title: Windows Mail has stopped working

    There are extreme measures you can take.  One is either movement store the content of the message to another directory and WinMail starts it will be a clean message store (or you can simply rename the directory from the old Windows Mail message store and then create a new directory named Windows Mail which will begin to empty).  The other is to back up the registry key to Winmail (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm) and then remove it and then start WinMail and who must rebuild the registry key.  The first allows to compensate for a corrupt message store (you can use the file |) Import | Messages into the plu message store you renamed) and the second allows to compensate for a corrupted under the WinMail key registry hive.  I suspect the first manoeuvre will fix the problem, but I don't know.

    But those who are basically last stations.  I would like to save things before you do anything that anyone else.

  • After the latest updates from Microsoft, my Internet Backgammon supplied with Windows 7 no longer works. It is a dead link and the game opens same. That's happened?

    I like to play trump stings on Internet and Internet Backgammon that's installed with Windows 7, Home Premium edition.  However, after the automatic updates installed yesterday, I noticed that the link to play the Internet Backgammon is no longer works.  It's just a dead link.  I can click on it, but nothing happens.  Not even an ounce of trying to open.  It's just 'died '.  I can still play trump stings on the Internet and I have no trouble to access the internet, so I wonder if this is just a small problem or do you have Microsoft remove Internet Backgammon as one of its windows games?  Note, this is Internet Backgammon that is installed on the computer, in the folder games - it is NOT the version of backgammon on MSN that you actually go to the internet and to play.  I am referring to the one in the Games folder, which is installed with Windows 7.  I play this game almost every day, so I hope that it will be restored.  I wish there was a way to contact Microsoft about this, but there isn't and they charge, then...

  • Computer with pre installed windows 7 no longer work after Windows installation 10

    Hello

    A few months ago, my son ordered a computer with Windows 7 pre-installed. He installed Windows 10 such as recommended with the message 'free upgrade'. Unfortunately, now the computer does not work at all and the computer doesn't seem to have a possibility of recovery (at least we cannot find it).

    In addition, the computer manufacturer does not meet one of e-mails and calls from some time. What can we do to recover his computer with Windows 7 or Windows 10 (I don't like which version of Windows)? Windows setup does not work 10 from scratch, the product key has not been accepted, probably because there is only a product key for a pre installed windows 7.

    Help, please!

    Kind regards

  • Win 7: Windows search no longer works from within Windows Explorer, big problem!

    Hi all, in the past I have been using Windows 7 search feature and I'm in love. She was very powerful. What I liked in particular has the ability to search to explore: [win key] + F, then you type in your search (as "ext:pdf date: 2010 wonderful" returned all the documents with the extension .pdf changed in 2010 or later and containing the keyword 'wonderful'). VERY another useful feature is the ability to search ANYWHERE on the computer, for example in the records, but also outlook. For example, when I wanted to recover all matters affecting a client (like "boeinggg + body" would mean any document or email on the problems of society and the fuselage of boeinggg;) ("from: condittt" would return all email sent by Mr. Condittt). UNFORTUNATELY, it doesn't work anymore, and I don't understand why. I searched on +-10 hours on various blogs and sites Web + myself, without success. I think I tried everything I could think of. Of course, among other things, I tried to look for a problem with automated tools of Windows, and I also rebuilt the index several times, move it to a different location, try indexing less files, etc etc etc. Research from outlook still works, but it's so slow and not practical to use at all (only the buttons, I prefer keywords). Research in the library always work also, that is to say if I'm in a certain folder and this folder is indexed, so I can search for documents inside as explained above. But my various indexed files are not all on the same tree, so in this way is really painful. I also tried only indexing outlook, he does something, the exact number of items is displayed as 'indexed' I can search and outlook. But still no Explorer - and that's what I want to do. I also tried to uninstall and reinstall search Windows (programs and features, enable or disable, windows searches the windows features). I also tried the 'old way' windows search (programs and features, enable or disable, the indexing service windows features). Of course, I have a valid Windows license file (Windows 7 Professional SP1), to date. My computer is a brand new, more stimulated for laptop Dell Precision (not reinstalled by myself so no Dell * on it). And... I'm repeating myself, but it did not work before! "One day" (I have not noticed exactly when) he has stopped working correctly, at the beginning, I thought that I could survive it but now I know that I really like this feature, I need. If anyone can help, I am really disappointed here. I can hardly re - install windows, because I still don't know the problem, so it would definitely be back. Otherwise, it would be 'just' a matter of 10 hours of work and I would do it, because I really, REALLY need this feature, which in my opinion is the only reason to use outlook today. I could also try the hotline of Dell, but I doubt that they will really help. Thank you very much in advance to the community, I will respond to all suggestions, I will follow all advises reasonable, and I understand what has happened and how to solve similar problems, I will explain in great detail. Bravo Stéphane

    Hello

    We are pleased that the issue is resolved.

    One of the reasons could be a software conflict. It could also be a malware or a virus.
    It could be linked to the corruption of the files of the user account as well.

  • Option private window is no longer works

    Until this week, I've always been able to access 'New private window' menu option. For some reason, I can no longer do.

    Your help would be appreciated.

    Is the problem that the button is missing, it does nothing, or that a window is "ordinary"?

    Also, you should find it in two menus:

    • button menu '3-bar' (menu of the Application)
    • classic file menu (you can press the Alt key to display the menu bar if you don't usually show)

    Note that private windows are not distinctly marked if you set Firefox to automatically start in private mode. You can check this setting here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > privacy

    If the dialog box indicates "conservation rules: don't remember history" then Firefox will start automatically in private mode: all windows are private. To activate that power off, change the selection to "conservation rules: use the custom settings for history" and uncheck "always use the private browsing mode. Firefox has to restart after you do it, so if you're in the middle of all the work, fill your work first.

  • Windows Defender no longer works in Windows 7!

    OK where do I start... I have a

    ATI Radeon 4890 1 GB graphics card

    4 GB of Ram

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    Kaspersky AV 2010

    and no matter what I do I can't get Windows Defender to start again! It was working fine then one day about a month ago he stopped.

    I tried to start the service on the services tab, I ran the File Checker system I ran Malwarebytes, Spybot, Superantispyware also run the trend micro "Housecall Facility", but all to no avil.nothing is to cause this problem and no matter where I turn to look on the net for more details in the forums I get the same list of troubleshooting procedures.

    The message that I get when I try to start WD is error 126 specific module cannot be found. Now, as Windows Defender is integrated with W7, I am at a loss as to why this error is coming because it seems that "something is now missing" my WD to start working again... It does not start and even when I use the recovery (in services) tab, it does not start.

    If anyone can help me with this question, I would be very grateful as its DRIVING ME NUTZ!

    If some security programs 'Disable' Defender then are aware of Microsoft programs are not compatible with Windows Defender?

    If so, please indicate which ones claim so I can remove any program it is & try to start over the WD.

    I don't know what Microsoft is aware of.

    It is not a matter of being incompatible with the Defender, it is a question
    a program to do the same thing to Defender. There are many such
    programs, although I do not personally know the complete list. In your
    case, it is Kaspersky. You should not want to have two programs
    the same thing; It's just a waste of resources.

    As much as I fear, do not get rid of the program do
    the same thing in the Defense (Kaspersky), you must run
    Defender off the coast, since it does the same thing as defender and more.
