  • A run the system restore, and now my Adobe Acrobat license has exceeded its limit

    I tried to restore computer because of a corrupted installation and it deleted Adobe Acrobat, since the system restore did not work, I have reinstalled the operating system, corrected and then installed Adobe Acrobat Professional of XI, entered my license and it comes up with amounts excesses of this license. I would just get the license reactivated. Any help would be appreciated. I tried to call and Adobe is closed on weekends, cat I tried but nobody came online in some time so now, try the forums as they are 24/7.

    Thank you-

    You need to talk to Adobe, not users on the forums, because only Adobe can reactivate something on their end.   I guess the numbers increase during the work week.

  • The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

    I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

    In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

    And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

    Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

    Hey, Jose,

    I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

    I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

    The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

    "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

    'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

    • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
    • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
    • No disk compression
    • Did not display the warnings system restore.
    • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
    • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
    • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
    • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
    • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
    • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

    "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

    This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

    • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

    "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

    • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

    "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

    • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
    • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
    • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

    "To answer your question:

    The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

    • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

    I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

  • A Virus infect my computer from the system restore?

    My computer has been infected recently by (I think) a kind of malware that would be redirecting My search Google results (with a warning of Google chrome that the site had a low signature) and remove Windows Defender. I tried many possible solutions on the internet, but none of them worked. In the end, I decided to do a system restore to about two days before, he started, and my computer seems to work very well.

    After the restoration of the system, I installed AVG Antivirus (paid version / pro) and did a full scan of the computer. I think he deleted something like that harmful things we found on my computer.
    Now, three days after the system restore, I've read a few articles and questions on the internet that says a system restore does not remove a virus and that she could hide in the system restore files. I don't know if this is related, but some sites will not load for me (like 'wiiublog' and 'malwarebytes' Web sites), and when I check on another site (like 'downforeveryoneorjustme'), he says that the Web sites are on the rise. In addition, some Web sites load with just the words and links, but no images.

    If this is the case, no matter what your problem was, it was probably not
    malware. A system restore is rarely effective in eliminating
    malware.

    After the restoration of the system, I installed AVG Antivirus (paid version / pro) and did a full scan of the computer. I think he deleted something like that harmful things we found on my computer.

    In my opinion, AVG, who was one of the best anti-virus programs
    is no longer. There are several better choices:

    For an anti-virus program, I recommend eSet NOD32 or Kaspersky, if you
    are willing to pay for it. If you want a free anti-virus, I recommend
    (do not run more than one antivirus program) one of the following
    three:
     
    Avira AntiVir
    Avast
    Microsoft Security Essentials
     
    You also need anti-spyware software (even if you run a program such as)
    Microsoft Security Essentials, with integrated anti-spyware capability
    It). I recommend that you download and install MalwareBytes (freeware)
    AntiMalware

    Now, three days after the system restore, I've read a few articles and questions on the internet that says a system restore does not remove a virus and that she could hide in the system restore files.

    An infection in a restore point is completely harmless, unless you
    restore from this restore point.
    The only way to remove the virus is to turn off System Restore, then again, but who's going to delete all the your restore points, not just the one (s) infected. Alternatively, you can just wait for the points that are infected at the end of the chain - a maximum of 90 days of fall.
    My preference is to wait 90 days.

  • Missing icons and the system restore failed with the error code: 0xc0000022

    More a cosmetic problem, but it is annoying me.  I wonder if anyone can help.

    I'll try to explain what happened and explains the steps that I tried to solve.

    At the launch of windows, after connection, some icons began to miss on the desktop.  Below, these appear to be programs of Microsoft and Apple.

    If I choose to properties and then change icon... from the office, I get the following error:

    Icons for mainly products of Microsoft and Apple are also missing from the start menu.

    However, if I go into properties here, the change icon... button is grayed.

    It happened once before.  I tried to run the system restore.  The last time I did this the system restore said have failed - however, the icons were restored.  I tried the same thing again once, however the system restore has not (yet), but this time, the icons are still missing.

    I tried to create a new user, but the new account also has the missing icons.  I also ran a full virus scan (Avast) and Windows Defender, but they found nothing.

    While not a huge problem, it's annoying, and I wonder if it points to a bigger hidden problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • No icons and programs

    All the icons are hidden and won't run, windows media says it can't read the file. Programs are not open. Don't know what happened. Only Windows media opens and does not allow anything else to work.  Working on image files grouping, then came to rest and return there are no icons available and won't run the programs.

    Hello

    You can try to start your computer in safe mode (press f8 when loading) and use the system restore to take the computer to a point where he may have been working well. However, it does not sound as strange behavior. If you do not get the computer works by using System Restore, make sure that you do a full virus and spyware/malware check.

    Hope that helps.

    Icons on the desktop are normally shortcuts - pointers to programs or
    data files, not programs or data files themselves (the small
    arrow indicates this is a shortcut). Deleting a shortcut has not
    effect on the file it points to-he will always be there.

  • most of my Windows 8 desktop icons and programs disappeared

    About 20 GB, programs and files located on my desktop Windows 8 have disappeared. There are several empty folders always on the desktop with all icons and programs into them now gone. I've never seen anything like that in all my years with PC and Mac. I see all the icons and the folder disappears somehow but it's like 95% of them from my desktop Windows 8 watch now 2.05 MB 20 GB before vs. The good thing is that there was no important personal data on my desk because they are on a separate with the external backup drive.

    Hey Joe,

    1. don't you perform all tasks as Refresh\Reset?

    2. is it a security software installed on your computer?

    This problem may occur because of virus.

    I suggest you to use the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if there is no virus.

    Microsoft Safety Scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx


    Note:     the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected can be cleaned by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    I suggest you to check the folder settings.

    Windows 8 how: 19. Drives, folders and show hidden files

    I suggest you to search program or a particular folder and check if you are able to access the same.
