I have a problem with my computer

I have a problem with my computer, I turned on my computer the next day and all the wat I could see was a new office with my files and missing files, but the hard drrive indicates that there are more files on the hard drive.please what I need to do? I have also to see the all the hidden folders, but always impossible to find out what anyone on the computer.

It is a symptom of a corrupt user profile.  When Windows detects a corrupted profile, he creates a new temporary profile and continues to log.  Whatever you do, do not save critical files under this new profile.  Recovery is fairly simple and involves the creation of a new user and moving files over to the new user.  Moreover, sometimes a 'chkdsk' or 'System Restore' operation will restore the original profile.  The following articles describe how to recover from a corrupted profile.  Choose the one that suits you best.

  • I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer.

    Original title: scams?

    I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

    Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

    They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

  • I have a problem with the computer work is not correctly after you install the KB2753842 update.

    This update of windows has been installed automatically today (22/12/2012) as the (successful with this date) shows on the Page update.  Since that it has been installed, the computer is constantly read/write on the disc at 100% at all times (i.e. non-stop).  Performance is significantly degraded.  I rebooted several times, whenever the system shows the updates are being configured on tap-dwon and commissioning.  I want to reinstall the update because I think that it was not successful, even if the display update Page shows successful installation.  When I try to find and remove the update under the Panel of control-> program and features-> Windows updates, this update is NOT displayed (latest updates are 13/12/2012).  How can I remove and reinstall this security update?  It is a BIG problem at the moment.  Computer is almost non-functional.  Thnx.

    Original title: update security for windows (KB2753842)

    Nirmal S, thank you.  System Restore did the trick.  I restored prior update checkpoint and then the system automatically re-installed the latest update (which is one I had a problem with).  Problem solved!  My computer working again 'normally '.

    Also, I learned a few new things about the updates and restorations, so...

    Bravo for Nirmal S!

    According to my knowledge, 2 of my PC are infected and the virus are not getting detected by bitdefender on my PC1 but 4 threats have been detected on the laptop...
    The same files are include the other way on my other pc.
    Whenever I open the files, save option opens and a new file is saved with the file tha but they never get to open in word or powerpoint, only the backup option is displayed.
    The original files are protected by copyright and are lost. PL help me if possible to retrieve and delete all the files once the inspection is completed. You can forward this message to any authorized person.
    Attached files have changed to 1 or 2 k, but there was initially datas in a few MBs.
    201310131003535. I mentioned that somewhere I had formatted the USB key. Just before that, I had copied all files by selecting CTRL A and cut all the files in a directory on my PC. Then I opened the USB and no files were there. But always around 4 GB has been shown as being busy on the USB stick before formatting.
    My pc takes too long to restart, I tried a few 3 - 4 times and no updates have been installed or waiting to install after the 2nd time but when even he took more time than usual to restart and is compared to the other pc taking 2 X the time to restart, but two of them have installed bitdefender. Problem in my laptop toshiba, not pc lenovo, space time with more than 50 percent on the disk processor and Atom c.
    The files on my USB key are automatically replaced by shortcuts and so files open in a new tab and new cases opened are not those of origin who have been saved by me in this matter. Yet once I formatted and scanned, files, pc and USB but still facing the same USB key.
    Problems-
    1. all files are automatically displayed as shortcuts, even if I had pasted the original file
    2. once I click on open, I get an error and then after clicking on ok, some files get opened
    Before sending the email, I had formatted the USB scanned files on my HARD drive and then copied on the USB. The same problem persists. I think that when the files are displayed or open, the virus does something and change his behavior wrongly.
    1 bitdefender watch as new bitdefender is available, I click ok and repair wire starts and then it tells the system to restart.this cycle continues on the race

    2. 2 files are missing (attachment)
    3. could you send me the file by e-mail?  You can also download the link below.

I tried the USB recovery and still nothing works! How can I solve this problem! I had win 8 for a long time now and it just started today

    Sorry, but 1 other question is there a chance that the virus is in other other partitions than windows one as in tools system or hp? And if so what I do these scores cannot be deleted

    As I suggested in my initial answer scan and remove any found object.

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Hi Megan,

    While the path that you have installed Vista out of the ordinary, he has obviously worked for you. It may be that some Dell installation media is linked to the Dell motherboards, but my experience is that this is certainly not true for all Dell Media. There are companies out there that brand sale Dell Support oem installation and advertising that it can be installed on any PC, not only the Dells. My experience is that these claims are valid.

    When you re-install on your replacement hard drive, just keep in mind that these media are unlikely to install drivers that are needed for your hardware works correctly. These drivers must be on a CD supplied with the mother/PC card and it would probably be the simplest method. If you do not have this CD, you will need to get from website of maufacturer of the motherboard and install them...

    Enter your 32-bit Vista or Vista 64-bit OS as the case may be.

    I pressed the stop many times but nothing appears. What is the solution to this problem?

    Windows 7 now allows you to change the behavior of the action of the right power button in the start menu. No record no hacks without control panel. Go to the taskbar and start menu properties. Select Start menu tab and you will find the option to change the power button function on. You can change the behavior of power down for

    • Change user
    • Close the session
    • Lock
    • Restart
    • Hibernate
    • Shutdown

    This is a good option if someone tries to stop power button and it locks the computer nicely.
