I uninstalled the "Prefetch" on my Vista desktop folder - how & where do I go to get & install this file?

original title: reinstall the Prefetch folder

Apparently I uninstalled the "Prefetch file" on my Vista desktop (recommended when running of TuneUp Utilities 2011).

How & where should I go to get & install this file?

Thank you.

Hi DennisCockley

 

I suggest you to restart the computer 1 or 2 times. The prefetch folder will get re-created after you restart. You can check if the folder reappears after restart. See the help link - below

I hope this helps.

    I have two Acer Aspire laptops.  They are totally frozen because of the virus.
    I lost the recovery of Windows Vista Ultimate Edition disc, where to get a replacement.
    I have to rebuild my laptop.

    Hello

    No - what are the two Acers come with a recovery disk?

    If this is not the case, one of them would have a recovery partion, which specifically is to reinstall the operating system on it.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process.

    All data are lost when you do the above.

    And for the lost disc, contact Acer and ask them to send you recovery disks.

    They do that for a small fee:

    http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    Hi Aaron Campbell,

    To help focus in the right direction, I would like to know what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

    You try to compare windows vista and windows 7?

    Yes, you can copy the folder system32 on a flash drive and then compare it with windows 7.

    The System32 folder and its subfolders contain files of system operating base for your installation of windows operating system. See the link below for more information:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457124.aspx

    Note:

    ؠ You cannot copy all the contents of the system32 on the flash player folder because the essential components are in use.

    ؠ Do not replace or try to copy the system32 (from windows vista) folder for drive C on windows 7, the computer may become unstable.

    You will need to contact Lenovo and request their assistance.

  • OPM get a "this file is not found error" but the document opens without plugin

    I'm under 64-bit Windows 7, Word 2010, OP 10.4.4.21.

    The scenario is strange.  Everything has been fine until today.  Something has changed, and now I am unable to open all the OPM Word documents (or compile compile all).  When I try, the error message ' Oracle Policy Modeling could not open document, such that an error has occurred in Microsoft Word: this file was not found ".". "  The document opens, however, but the plugin is not displayed.  I tried to reinstall OPM several times without success.  Indeed, during install it first a couple I'd always get the error message, but CERTAIN documents open with the active plugin and I could compile in the document - and some wouldn't have the plugin.  After another reinstall, OPM still throws the error, and documents open always in the background, but without the plugin active or exposed.

    I also tried to Repair Word, but do not want to reinstall office.   Excel seems to work very well.  I don't really know what was the triggering event.  The project has been using subversion when he arrived, but now all the projects on my machine, subversion or not, are concerned.  I think it's just my machine and others do not see this problem.

    Has anyone seen this?  Something corrupt?  It's almost like the word invocation simply does not work properly.

    Help!

    Thank you very much.

    OH - I found and fixed it.  Word has disabled the "Add-in".

    1. Click the File tab, click options.  A popup options will appear and then click Add-Ins.
    2. In the box macros complementary , if you see that policy modeling Word 2010 Template.dotm is disabled, you will need to enable it.  Downstairs, choose from the menu drop-down handle and click on the button 'Go '.
    3. Select the type of "Disabled" in the Management area, and then click OK.
    4. Select the item to activate, and then click the button 'Activate'.


    It was something that should have been easy.  We have a couple of experts of the Oracle takeover bid on the site and they didn't, and R & D in Australia has yet to respond to us.

    Steve,

    Thanks a lot for the link to this article.
    It was most helpful.

    I also found this forum useful post:
    http://www.techsupportforum.com/Networking-Forum/networking-support/114373-cant-map-new-network-drive.html

    In particular, he said to check the event log of the computer that you are trying to connect to (the remote computer) to search for an event ID 2011, which would be entered in the time you finally tried to connect and does not.
    I did alt-click on the icon MY COMPUTER (from the remote computer) and the menu HANDLE, click the EVENT VIEWER folder (in the left pane), and then the SYSTEM folder under that.
    On the right pane, I found an ad for the event ID 2011 at the time wherever I finally tried to connect.

    To test this, I went to the VISTA laptop and tried to connect the computer to Office XP again, which gives a different error message on the VISTA laptop.
    When I went back on the XP desktop I tried to connect to and looked again to the event log, of course ANOTHER event ID 2011 has been registered with the new time of my additional attempt to connect.

    He confirmed that it was likely that the IRPStackSize was the problem, as your proposed article.

    Then I printed article how DO TO SAVE AND RESTORE the REGISTER to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/
    then backed up the registry (both by running a restore system to register and by exporting from the top level of the regedit).

    I then went in regedit on the desktop in XP for the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\LANMANSERVER\Parameters file described in your article.
    There was NOT an entry for IRPStackSize in the right pane, so I followed the instructions in the add - it and change it to decimal 15.
    I rebooted and tried to connect but still got the same error.
    The article said that the default value is 15, so I assumed that adding input IRPStackSize to 15 has not changed anything.

    So I went into regedit and changed the value of IRPStackSize of 15 to 18, restarted and it solved the problem.

    I found that the following articles is also useful in the resolution of this problem (aside from the one you gave):

    I typed this all this while this might help others who may encounter this same
    Error "not enough server storage is available to process this command" when you try to
    Map a network drive (or just try to connect) to a XP computer from another computer.

    Thanks much for the lead.
