After reinstalling vista and get the updates, I've "lost" more than 10 GB on my hard drive
can anyone help? After reinstalling vista and by then setting automatic updates, I find after the download and installation of updates that I "lost" more than 10 GB on my drive hard, why is that?
Updates must be stored somewhere, and installed somewhere 10 GIG is in the normal range. Did you do a disk cleanup?
have you saved or set a restore point? It has been a decade since I used Vista, but I think that any time you install something made Vista a restore point.

How to: retrieve deleted programs, files and images after reinstalling Vista
Original title: I reinstalled Vista and accidentally deleted programs, files, and photos. Is it possible to recover these? Recovery program does not work.
I had accidentally deleted a program and thought by reinstalling Vista it would bring the program back without changing anything on the computer. By reinstalling, this because all my programs, files and images to be deleted. I tried using the recovery program, and it goes back only to the day that I reinstalled Vista. Is it possible to recover images, lost programs and files?
Buna,
You have loaded Vista again, so you will need to reinstall all your programs once again, sorry for the bad news.
Looking through answers here, you should look to see if you have windows.old folder.
It is information of Support engineers if you have this

How to get the drivers and files lost after you have reinstalled Windows XP
Message: How to recover documents Word and Audio drivers after reinstalling Windows XP on the computer.
Operating system: Windows XP
Exactly how is that did you reinstall Windows.
Your "reinstall Windows" had formatting of the disk (i.e., a "clean install") or restore the computer to its state of "cost-of-the-factory '? If so, your documents and other files are essentially disappeared (possibly recoverable at great expense by using a Drive Savers).
If you don't reformat or use a "recovery partition" (that is, you did a "repair" install), then it is possible that your data may be recoverable. More you continue to use the computer, however, over the likelihood that the data is unrecoverable.

Is there a way to recover Microsoft Outlook data after reinstalling Vista?
I had to reinstall Vista Ultimate to solve a problem on my computer (as the manufacturer helpdesk told me), and then all the old data on the C drive has been erased. This was done in a hurry, and I don't remember to keep all Outlook files (and then lost all emails, contacts, entered calendar etc.). Is there a way to recover these data now?
If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.
You can try this program:
http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html
Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

How to recover email files lost after compressing files
I am using windows XP sp3, two days ago, I performed an outlook express file compression process, after only a quick jump
and asked me to do. Unfortunately, a part of the e-mail files (year 2011) were found missing in the outmail storage box after file compression.
I think that they were deleted automatically during file compression. Although I found a backup file in the trash, I can't yet recover
the e-mails lost after recovery.
For your information: before compressing files - size storage box outmail - abt, 1.2 GB / after compression 827 MB
MY mailbox: * address email is removed from the privacy *
It is a common problem with OE because if we let the dbx files grow beyond a few hundred megabytes, they are subject to corruption. You should do an immediate backup of your messages in the event of further loss. So, if you have bak files in the trash or in the message store directory, you can try to recover them.
For references, see points 2, 3, 4 and 6 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and import the bak files see here: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#imp1 and if you were unable to recover what was lost, then see here: www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/ the latter is able to scan the entire drive for messages and bypassing the file system and if something can get back them It can.

Files lost after setting the new account on windows 8
Original title: files lost
Hello
I recently bought an old computer from a friend and the first months I just signed in as his name. I saved some video files and photos for windows 8 connected under his name. After a few months, I got tired of seeing his name at startup then I set up my own account. When I did the whole upward, it says no files would be lost.
Now, Miss me all the files I had saved. The only name that exists now on this computer, it is my own... my friends name disappeared.
I lost these files forever? Is it possible to recover?
Thank you very much

Satellite A215 - Fn button are no longer available after reinstalling Vista
Hi all, not.
I recently reinstalled Vista on my laptop and I noticed that the function key options are no longer available for brightness settings, lock computer and tastes. If anyone has a direct link to the drivers for that would be great, I thought that I had all of the visit by Toshiba but apparently not.
In addition, scrolling does not work on my touchpad. I downloaded the latest synaptics drivers and installed and nothing helps... Any help on that would be appreciated also.
I cehcked mouse options and those who appear to be good. There no options in the Panel "touchpad" however... maybe something there?
Thanks in advance!
RJ
Hello
The A215 is a laptop to US. I know that because of the 5 with the and of the model if you use the page of the Toshiba driver Vista us to get the right drivers.
In any case the FN keys are controlled by Toshiba Flashcards Utility. This sis tool part of the Vista Toshiba value added package and I think that you need to reinstall this tool.
I put t know why you touchpad scroll function does not work as it should perhaps settings are active or something likeI have an A210. It s European model and equivalent to A215
I can change the settings of the touchpad here:
Control Panel-> mouse-> last tab (settings of the device? :|)-> settings buttonHere he should open a new window and you can change the settings
See you soon
