  • 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 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.

  • 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.
