• Outlook Express Inbox emails disappeared after power failure

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Last night, there was a sudden unplanned shutdown down of the PC (turn off).  After the reboot (late last night) and go to the Inbox Outlook Express, only e-mail messages today were from this time (2 / 26 +)!  I can't find any obvious backup file for old messages (more than 26/02/2010).

  (1) what might have happened?  I got shut-off before without any problem.

  (2) where the old emails can be (if not actually erased)?

  (3) how can I get these emails restored to OE (if they still exist)?

  Thank you

  Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

  About file Corruption:

  Recovery tools:

  If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

  To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

  Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

  In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

  Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

  Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

  First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

  If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

  If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
   
  If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

  DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

  And see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

  A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
  http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

  And backup often.

• I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

  I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

  I tried the holding of 'command-r' and 'option' to see if the problem can be resolved or try any boot from a boot disk, my old backup, USB function start - but after a slow long process it all just stops.

  There is software on my HD that I don't want to lose by simply reformatting the computer, because I am now in a different country, far from my house, which is another problem of the Apple Store, to reinstall my OS from Yosemite on the www.

• Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 behavior after power failure

  Hello

  I need a computer that automatically restarts after a power failure.
  I find nothing on the IdeaCentre Q180 behavior in such a case.

  Did the reboot of the IdeaCentre Q180 himself after power failure or is it possible to activate this feature?

  This behavior is very important for my new system.

  Thank you for your response.

  Kind regards
  Theodoor

  Hi theodoor, welcome to the forums.

  I am not personally acquainted with the Q180, but I had a quick glance in the simulator of BIOS and I am sure that the service you're looking for is available in the BIOS.

  Please see the photo attached, (too big to post), it will open in the same window, so please click on your back button on the browser to return to this site.

• root > \system32/had.dll message after power failure.

  After power failure, I got the above message.  I tried to rebuild the CD system following the instructions Microsoft but still can't het PC to start.  Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you

  Since you didn't say what were these instructions, we do not know what you were doing!

  You need to start the recovery console, run chkdsk r, then /Rebuild. bootcfg The first part can be read here:

  http://www.icompute.info/System_restore_from_xp_cd.htm

  You will need to understand how your PC (you neglected to tell us the make, model and model number!) can boot from the CD-ROM. Then, run the Recovery Console. DO NOT ENTER THE INSTALLER! (If you do, you run the risk to wipe your entire disk clean!) Follow the indications of the above page and then stops after having successfully performed chkdsk/r. In other words, don't do the fixmbr part!

  Then, for the second part, read here:

  http://www.icompute.info/halldll_error.htm

  Restart the PC in the usual way (that is, start with the hard drive) and let us know if you are at the back of buisiness.

• Fans always operate at high speed after power failure

  HP Pavilion Slimline S5780T - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  After a power failure a night or more recent, our Pavilion Slimline case fan and CPU fan have both run at high speed all the time, starting from the system. The level of noise is intolerable.

  I opened and cleaned all the dust from the inside of the case, including the removal of the heatsink from the CPU. Everything is clean.

  I ran the following HP Vision diagnostic, test the system, including fans. During the test of fan, the fans ran at 100%, then fell to the former level normal, quiet, then ramp back up to 100%. So says HP fans diagnostic tests are OK when there is always a problem. And it is possible for them to run at slow, normal speed.

  I installed the free SpeedFan utility, but there is not place to adjust the fan speed manually.

  How can I find the problem and the fans run at normal speed, as they did before the power failure? Everything that controls the speed of the CPU fan and the fan is broken.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Strange things happen when power flucuations or failures occur.  Most probably the motherboard has been damaged by the PPE and that is normally not as repairable by a DIY.  If you could find a newer BIOS, that to solve the problem.  Since there can be no more recent BIOS, try to remove the battery from the motherboard for the night and then put the file in and reset the BIOS to see if that helps the default value.  Otherwise, it might be repairable.

• GSM7224v2 loses the configuration after power failure

  As the topic title says - this device (new for me but flea market) loses its configuration after power off.

  I don't see any button cell within the unit for volatile memory backup. Surely the configuration lives in non-volatile storage?

  I am being dumb and I'm missing something?

  Hi neidlo

  Welcome to the community!

  Yes configuration lives in a non-volatile memory, when it is saved. Until it is saved, it is in RAM.

  When configuring the switch, it is not automatically saved. Using Web Interface (GUI)? A "Save" button should do.

  Please let us know whether or not this was the burden

• UEFI auto turn on after power failure

  I bought a desktop computer HP Pavillion PC500-225es (have a holiday home in Spain where the suffix are).

  It is running Windows 8.1 equipped a UEFI BIOS.

  I want the PC automatically restarts when power is restored after a power failure, but I don't see any option to do this in the UEFI BIOS. Is it normal for a UEFI BIOS? I have had many computers with a BIOS for old style and that I can remember all had the ability to set the auto restart after power fail.

  I don't know how a UEFI BIOS integrates with Windows 8.1 but I see no option for this in point 8.1 of Windows either.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  In addition, because the PC was bought in Spain, the BIOS is in Spanish. It seems not be anyway to change that in English, my native language. Not a big problem I can get in Spanish and may apply to the Google translate if I have to, but it would be easier if there was an option to switch to English.

  I ran the HP Support Assistant, and everything is up-to-date, there is no update to download BIOS.

  I guess I'm just stuck with the situation unless HP come with an update of the BIOS to add installation.

  Please see the BIOS for the motherboard Jasmine settings the settings you are looking for. Although this document is intended for the 'Jasmine' motherboard and your computer uses the "JasmineR', the settings should be similar if not the same thing.

  To access the BIOS Setup page... "Turn on the computer and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly, once per second, until the opening of the Computer Configuration utility."

  The following options are found in the Power Options:

  Messages POST (Power On Self Test)	Turn on or off
  After the loss of power	Previous state, or disable
  POSITION of delay (in seconds)	Zero, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 60 seconds

• VMTMS not showing running, not installed, VM TCS after power failure by giving two fake ips

  Nice day

  In fact, we had a power failure at our DC and after restarting servers, 2 of them you have the problem.

  UCS after the beginning of the VMTMS v 14.4.2 showing in summary "does not installed ' and no Ping able.but I can access Internet by IP however.

  TCS giving 2 Fake ips also.

  TCS.jpg

  

  I just checked our vTCS, it shows only a single IP address.  If the server has more than one virtual nicinstalled, you can probably remove the sound that shouldn't be there.  Although I'm not a VMWare administrator, so I can't say for sure, comparing what has my TCS.

  Note: Your question would be better in the telepresence of the forums section, where these devices are discussed more actively and people can help you get the answers you need.  You can move your question to the appropriate section by editing and modifying the categories at the bottom.

• Error code 10 cannot install Maxtor 3200 after power failure

  Original title: maxtor 3200 code 10

  After a power failure cannot not re install Maxtor 3200 get response Code 10

  Hello

  The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager. In addition, this error may occur if one of the pilots who needs the unit does not start. If multiple drivers are used by a particular device, it can be difficult to determine which failed.

  I suggest you run the FIXIT from the link below and if it helps. You can also follow the manual steps and check.

• How to wake up a T42 - after power failure.

  I just changed to a T42 as a home automation web application server in a vacation home that is unoccupied for weeks and months.  I'm gone with a Thinkpad retired because the processor running at 40 degrees Centrigrade with its fan-Off in our cool basement unless there is some computer activity... hoping the Thinkpad would unnattended for years in this quiet situation with the HDD as the only moving part.

  When the power goes out, I have an inverter for 2 hours, plus the Thinkpad battery for 4-5 hours (off screen), but then it stops with an extended power failure.  We cannot go back to this place for months to re - turn on the computer.

  The bios settings on T42 for "Startup Timed" do not work for me or anyone else I saw on the Thinkpad forums.

  Or, using the Task Scheduler with the "wake the computer" option when you run an application (such as the calculator or Notepad) do not wake the T42 from sleep mode. (The laptop could go to sleep when the battery reaches 50%)... then having the scheduler run Notepad all morning at the cases where the computer is in standby due to a power failure in the course of 24 hours prior... but it does not work.

  Is there another way to start or wake a T42 on a calendar or a network drive?   I didn't "want to solder connections in the power switch - although if it is possible if I could use a phone remote access to the automation system to turn on the computer with a closing contact, but his disorder at."

  After testing, I switch to Windows 7 Pro. The T42 can going mode sleep after x minutes on battery. It can be awakened by running a lazy batch file by using the Windows Task Scheduler.

  Thanks for your suggestion

• Cannot take possession of the two machines after power failure

  Greetings...  Recently, I experienced a power failure to my office when I was running two different virtual machines.  After the reboot, I am unable to connect to machines like VMWare tells me "this virutal machine seems to be running."  If I press the button "Take Ownership", he immediantely is back with a dialog box saying "Appropriation of this virtual machine failed."  How to unlock these machines?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  First stop of VMware Workstation, then go and have a look at the folders where are stored the your virtual machines.

  It is likely that you will see some .lck .lock files or folders. Which ones you will see (lck or lock) depends on the version of your VMware product.

  Delete these files (move them to another folder if you are more comfortable with it), and then return to VMware Workstation.

  Reopen the virtual machines and chances are big enough to make them work as they used to be.

  Good luck!

• No sound on Satellite a series after power failure

  I had power failure and displays now the peripheral output put no audio.

  I have tried the drivers but not find.

  Any help please

  Is what model? PSA? -??????

  The audio chip may have been damaged due to advanced/power surge, requiring a motherboard replacement.

  Search for C:\TOSAPINS audio driver or download the driver here http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  You can also try a fresh install of windows. back up your data and run recovery now zero for the market. If the audio still does not work, then its most likely a hardware problem.

  Also update the BIOS, but I doubt that would help.

• Windows XP SP3 does not start after power failure

  I've known a sequence of power failure while my computer was on. When the power was restored, I couldn't boot into Windows. Windows stops before loading the Welcome screen and hangs. I tried in "Safe Mode" and "Restore Point", but always impossible to load up to 'user account screen '. I am running XP SP3.

  I tried recovery of original windows CD. No joy. I ran chkdsk with the option/r several times and fixboot as well, without success. Help, please!

  Just type fixmbr at the command prompt in Recovery Console.
