Find files and etc after a race a full system restore.

I had problems with my computer and I ran the "full system restore" (with backup). How to make the backup of files, etc. back to where they were? When I go to search and type something in this use to be on my computer, I see a file or several files that say MyBack and the file I'm looking for, but I do not know how to restore it back to where it originally was.

hamntre,
Thanks for posting.  It sounds like you have used the restore\backup OEM utility to restore the system.  If that is correct, then you will need to check with the manufacturer to learn how to restore your files from your PC.  If you used the backup utility built into XP you just run it again and follow the steps to restore your files.

  • problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

    After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

    This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

    Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

    I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

    Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

    Hi there highland99,

    Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

    Original title: data recovery

    Is there a program that will allow me to recover programs and files that have been written too by a full system restore?  I had to do a complete system restore, because the computer has been locked up in a start of the closed loop cycle.

    Hi Apmech9,

    1. don't you restore the computer to factory settings?
    2. do you just restore the computer to an earlier time by using the system restore feature in Windows XP?

    If you restore the computer to its factory settings, you will then get in touch with the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    If you had just restored the computer to an earlier time using System Restore, you can undo the system restore to revert back the changes.

  • I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password

    original title: help please!

    I have windows vista on my acer aspire 5517 I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password... I don't have a dics in it plese... I need help ASAP

    Next time please post in a forum of Vista. This one is for Windows 7. But since you're here:

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    You can retrieve your personal files, but not the settings, even if you could look under AppData in the Windows.old and copy them to their respective directory in the installation of Windows Vista work.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

    Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

    All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

    The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

    • Configuration of the default folder options.
    • reconstruction of the index
    • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
    • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
    • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
    • I checked this registry key:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
    • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

    It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

    Frustrated!

  • My Windows XP Home Edition is not updated properly and I don't have a firewall after that I did a system restore.

    I have Windows XP Home 32-bit Edition. I got it since 2002. Its a PC Compaq laptop. I recently did a recovery system just to start fresh and clean with it. I have a legitimate copy of XP came with my computer, when it was new. I've loaded my records as guest and followed all the instructions. When I went to do some update, she had no auto update option to control panel (Classic view) and no windows firewall or even windows Security Center. It's default values on my new computer. I tried to update manually, but he repeats to me "the server was not respond" as soon as it gets for files and downloads from the download section of the patch of "Service Pack 1 A Express." I also looked for a download of Service Pack 2 and the only one available is for the professionals for the networks. I have no idea why this continues to be. I even made a second recovery, thinking I've done something wrong.

    Hello

    You should be able to download the Service Packs as a stand-alone Installer on the following links:

     

    Windows XP Service Pack 1 has Express Install (32-bit) for end users

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=19751

     

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 network installation Package for IT professionals and developers

    Windows XP Service Pack 3 network installation Package for IT professionals and developers

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24

    If you can not download to your computer, and then use another computer to download the installation file and move it to your computer.

    You don't need to install SP1A.  XP Gold, you must install SP1A or SP2 before installing SP3.  I recommend that you start with SP2 and then SP3.

  • Restore files and settings from my old Windows XP system to the newly installed Windows XP SP2.

    My old Windows XP no longer works correctly - it would start to Windows, but that restart. Otherwise, all data and system files on the hard disk are completely legible [no error reported by various scans].

    I made a copy of that old hard drive [with the problematic Windows XP] on a partition of my drive hard [second] another [using EASEUS Partition Master to copy the whole thing - it created an image of all the old hard disk on a special partition of the second hard disk].

    That I took a third hard drive and installed a new Windows XP [SP2] on it. How can I transfer my files and settings from this partition of the second hard disk [which is the image of the original hard drive] third hard disk [which I now use as the bootable hard disk instead of the original one]?

    Can I use "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" for whom? If so, how?

    AVI,
    I think it's a little late for the transfer Assistant.  You should use it while the other drive has been started.  But you can try the wizard.
    Run it and tell him that you are on the new PC.
    So say no to create a wizard disk.
    Then on the location of the files screen, select other and see if it will let you access the info on your another drive.
    In my view, it will look for the file in the wizard, but it is worth it.

    If this does not work then you need to just reinstall your programs and manually copy the data to your new drive. Typing of my new Windows 7 64 bit and love it! Soli Deo Gloria!

  • Vista not startop after full system restore

    I had a few problems with my computer and decided that I had to do a full restore to the factory settings.

    Seemed to go well until two days.  I just installed Chrome, Vista and AVG updates.

    The comp would not boot, would not repair, do not go to safemode etc...   I did a full second restore, nothing else that factory settings have now on the comp.  Now, I can get it to the password screen / logon, but it will hang there forever.  I can use safe mode with network and I'm trying to understand what should be my next move.

    You mention that you see a blue screen when you start normally.  It might be interesting to analyze the minidump file to see if it has led to what could cause this problem.

    SpiritX MS MVP has a great guide on how to analyze your blue screen of minidumps on this thread.  If all goes well it can help identify you the culprit behind this startup problem.

    I also had some problems after the update to a new generation of OS.  What worked for me is not godly on the list of updates from Windows Updates After you installed a clean OS, update rather than half of the found list, or even less depending on the size of each update selected.  Download updates in small increments seems to have helped me overcome this several times.  It might be interesting to try whenever you decide on the fight against this problem again.
