I have never been able to "back up" my computer for over 2 years. I tried every disk & usb & it just keeps telling me ' last backup impossible?

Computer, save never run as computer guard telling me last back up, 2 years is? Try again to try.

I suggest avoid you the Windows backup program and you get a good commercial backup program. This forum meets for a windows problem reports. I know that I was very impressed when I tried it. Three I'm familiar with and like Norton Ghost (which I use for 8 years no 1 problem), Easeus Todo Backup free, that you can download on http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm and Memeo , which has 30 day free trial and you can buy it for $29.99 - you can download it from http://memeo.com. You can get Ghost for almost nothing (like me), if you look at the sales.

The March 2012 issue of PC World is very high on the program FREE of Easeus and I tested it recently in a variety of configurations; and must say that I am very impressed. As Ghost will support up to a network drive and it will create a bootable CD for when your PC does not start. See commentary to PC World to

CNET has a lot of reviews of backup program to

http://download.CNET.com/Windows/backup-software/?tag=contentBody;sideBar

.

Some of them are free (the last time I checked there over 300), some have free trials (more), and some are buying only (more than 200).

External hard drives are the best for backup. You can get a 500 GB one for $70 and a 1.5 to one for about $90. You can also buy a flash drive 16 GB for as little as $10. It is the best insurance you can buy ever!

I hope this helps. Good luck

  • Have never been able to successfully install updates CC

    Please note that I would be rather sent this directly to Adobe Support, but could find no option to do so.  Although my attitude is positive and optimistic, I admit I am tired to contact support or research forums whenever a CC update is released.  It is an ongoing issue and I post it here in the hope that a true solution can be reached.

    Dear Adobe support,

    Since becoming a member of creative cloud in November of 2013 I never got an update of the application smoothly.  This isn't hyperbole - I have literally never been able to update any application of CC without hassle.

    Generally update problems are related to the creative cloud desktop application itself.  I run CC on a desktop at home and a laptop for travel (both are PC Win7).  Until this last update (2015), I have never once able to get cc to update without the help of the support.  After many phone calls to support (the most recent file number is 186138615), I wrote finally descend the steps always took so I could apply the fix myself. Here are the steps:

    1. Allows you to uninstall the application CC CC Cleaner
    2. Restart the machine
    3. Rename folders OOBE in two places.
      1. C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Adobe
      2. C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe
    4. Ensure that AAM is not running in the background (end process in task Mgr.)
    5. Creative cloud Setup

    After walking through the above process, I was able to update applications (Photoshop and Lightroom) CC.  However, it's a bit complicated to do whenever I want to install an update for Photoshop or Lightroom.  I don't want to do, but at least it worked.  It worked on my desktop until the 2015 update this week.  After you run the steps once again, I can update application creative cloud itself, but not Photoshop. This is the error I get always now:

    CC_update_failure_DT.gif

    Nothing I tried helped me to go beyond this error.

    I'm used to be able to install CC updates on my laptop without problem.  With the update of 2015, I am unable to install or update anything, including the creative Cloud desktop application.  Even after the execution by the not-to-fix mentioned above, when I try to re - install creative cloud, I get the following error:

    CC_failure_LT.gif

    Now I can not install the desktop application creative Cloud on my laptop, which means I can't at all updates of Photoshop or Lightroom.

    At the present stage, at the present time, I cannot update Photoshop on my desktop and can not update anything on my laptop.  It's painful because I've always paid my subscription every month since the first subscription to CC.  It is a hassle to have to uninstall CC whenever an update has been released, but at least that used to work.  Now, I'm really stuck and feel that I do not receive the product that I pay.

    I would appreciate any advice you can give:

    1. Help me update my CC applications and continue to be updated in the future
    2. Ensure that I do not need to contact the Support from Adobe every time an update is released

    Thank you for your attention,

    ~ Steve

    Steve, it seems that there are some missing permissions on your regular account and, therefore, you will need to create a new user account.

    Even the 50 error code is related to permissions.

    I have Vista Home Premium SP1 (was pre installed)
    I have CA Security Center
    I've also tried the auto detects in the LAN configuration but still does not. Also turned and on the update command in the command prompt.
    Does anyone else have an idea? It is slowly driving me crazy and I should have settled this long time.

  • my computer has never been able to upgrade to vista service pack 2, it is said that he failed and error code 80070570

    my computer has never been able to upgrade to vista service pack 2, it is said that he failed and error code 80070570. I have also a box gray volume that keeps popping up on my screen. It is grey with a yellow speaker and a red volume bar that says 0. I tried everything on the forums as a clean boot and the registry editor. Any ideas?

    I recommend you:

    Go to a command prompt:

    Start, all programs, accessories, command prompt.

    Right click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator" http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-run-an-application-once-with-a-full-administrator-access-token > and run sfc/scannow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833>

  • Problems of updating Windows 7 x 64 (which have not been able to update more than one year)

    Hi all, I'm a newbie here.

    So, as the title says, I have not been able to do an update on my Vaio more than a year.

    All this started when I thought or could have a virus. I have everything backed up quickly & did a clean re-installation of my windows.

    Since re-install I couldn't update. I tried to do the updates manually - some work, but the important ones which do not. I contacted Microsoft Support. They went through my laptop a few times & they can't even solve the problem. However, they told me I have corrupted files in my system that allow me to make updates or reinstall my windows to factory settings (Yes, I thought)

    So my question is... How can I solve this problem? None...

    Anyone had this problem?

    Thanks, Denza.

  • I can't and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box

    I can not and never been able to open a file that was previously saved on hard disk by selecting the print option to get in the print dialog box. Firefox displays gooblygook, even if the name of file is an html element, the Notepad of Windows crashes, MS Excel does not recognize the file type. MS Word also displays goobblys when the file has no file extension.

    If you use the file printing, then you will get a file that is supposed to be sent to a printer, and this file has any sort of code formatting for this printer.

    Open such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use one printer for text to print the file to, then make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.
