• Windows came back and all the files (music, photos, etc.) have disappeared.

  Hello

  Trying to troubleshoot my roommate.

  She took his laptop (VISTA) at the library last night to do some work, when it is returned and connected, turned on, and connected that she noticed that his office and the bottom had returned to her was when she first bought the original settings.

  She then open some important files from Uni she needed to work on and found them missing, as well as all his music, itunes application, his photos (shes studying abroad so that they are the priority and not his uni work... lol) and its internet settings

  She didn't report to any newspaper by mistake and I asked if an update took place last night at all, but she can't remember. I noticed that the system restore restore from before the event so im guessing that the files are somewhere and that it can us hopefully be reduced.

  I have not tried a restore of the system at the moment and I have read on the program 'recova' but have not tried. Thought ID ask first. It uses Vista.

  Any help would be apprecieated

  Thanks :)

  OK so I restarted and it connected, this time his profile loaded correctly and everything's fine, FALSE ALARM :)

• Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241) fails to install and has the error Code 800703F1

  Greetings. My system Windows 8 found a major update, but it cannot install it. The update is called "Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241)." I try to install it and it installs and I see a screen that says:
  ________________________________
  Some updates have not been installed.

  Failed: 1 update
  Examine the important updates

  Error (s) found:

  Code 800703F1 Windows Update has encountered a problem. Get help with this error
  ________________________________

  From there, I have the option to 'Try again', but when I try I always get the same result (error 800703F1). I already tried the Windows Update troubleshooting tool and whenever I run that he finds two problems and offers correct: "Repair Windows Update Database Corruption" and "repair the Windows Update components. I had it apply these patches every time, but the problem persists.

  I read about this setting by using the function "sfc/scannow", but oddly, when I try even in an elevated command prompt he also fails. It scans absolutely nothing and says: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
  The 'Windows Modules Installer"service is set to"Manual"and runs, as I read it is necessary.

  What is really weird, is that in my list of installed updates, KB2822241 stands as one of the updates already installed with the name of "update for Microsoft Windows" (instead of "update for Windows 8"as one continues to try to install my PC), and when I run the independent for this update installer (I downloaded from the web site of Microsoft to try it) the installation program indicates the update is already installed, and it closes. This gave me the idea that maybe my PC is confusing one update for the other. After all, why he would find KB2822241 as an important update that it needs if it is already installed?

  I know that I can normally solve the problem of update and the question of the SFC by resetting or refresh my PC via built-in tools of Windows 8, but I don't want to go through that, unless it's the only solution. System Restore didn't help, but it is an opportunity to reinstall some other updates.

  As it is, then, the problems persist: "Update for Windows 8 (KB2822241)" settles "sfc/scannow" cannot perform the operation and not I ask.

  For the record, my machine is a 900 Asus EeePC ha with an Intel Atom N270 CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and it is running 32-bit Windows 8.

  I'd appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you in advance.

• All the data disappeared after the installation of updates! Help!

  Hoping someone can help with this
  Last night I installed updates KB961371, 973346 KB and KB 890830 for Vista Home Premium and they seemed to have been settled... my computer turns off fine. But when I started today and connected to my usual user, I got a pop-up message from the tool bar by saying "your user profile was not loaded correctly, you have been logged on with a temporary profile, cnanges do you will be lost when you log out." Check the log of the events for more information or contact your administrator." I then found that all my data was away from all my files (music, photos, Documents, analyses)... everything was gone. I then logged out of my user every day and in my admin to have a snoop around and all the data disappeared from there too. While in admin I also looked in the update section to see if the updates have not been installed correctly, but he said that they had been installed successfully.

  I then rebooted, as I thought that it might help, but everything remained the same.

  After the reboot, I clicked through 'my computer' and hard the news here on the disc wrote I have 89 GB of 147 GB free, which I think is consistent with the amount of data I have stored. This made me think that the data is always there somewhere, but I can't access it at all thanks to my user every day or my administrator.

  As far as I can see, all the programs that I installed myself (such as Skype, open office software for my printer hp) are all present, but some of the shortcuts are out of the office. Also, when opening, they "behave" as newly installed programs. for example: Open Office writer guide me through a license agreement and registration rather than simply open a new document, and also firefox behaved in a way similar "new". Also, on commissioning today (after the installation of update yesterday), the window "welcome center" popped up, as did a window asking to save the "synaptics pointing device.

  In short, the system "behaves like new", remembers none of my settings etc, but it is still a my programs installed and most of all, I can't access any of my data! I have a Toshiba Equium P200-178 (use vista Home premium service pack 1 32-bit), I use AVG anti virus (8.5) and Ad-aware software anti spyware. These are updated every day and I run scans on a regular basis (last analysis aware ad probably about a week ago) so I'm not sure it's associated virus.

  Ask yourself what is this "temporary profile" and how to return to my old and my data! Help, please! Thanks :)

  Difficulty of a corrupted user profile

  After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

  Good luck with it.

• Automatic updates of Vista have deleted all the data on my desk.

  Recently my laptop Toshiba running Vista business done the automatic updates during the night, the morning I found that he had deleted all the folders, files and icons on my desktop (including the important work files), had changed the wallpaper, reset all my Internet properties and changed the login screen.

  What I can do, are very important files.

  I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but this made no difference.

  I also tried to contact Microsoft, who acknowledged my report and said they would be back to me within one business day, which was seven days ago.

  Hi mbuk,.

  Welcome to Windows Vista answers Forums!

  With automatic updates, you want to lose the data stored on the system.

  Once removed the HDD data can't be recovered. However, you can use your favorite search engine to browse third-party data recovery software and use this software to recover data.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  You can also view the following link to recover lost or deleted files and try the steps:

• You can download the final version of windows 8 (when it comes out) without losing the data files or programs on your computer?

  I think the update to windows 8, but I have no way to save my program files. I am running windows 7 Home premium.

  You can choose to store the data, but the applications will need to re-installed.

  We recommend that you back up all data on external hard drive too.

  You can give a try to preserve your programs installed (works for some programs only):

  -Copy all the data related to an application program.

  -Take note of the directory structure as seen currently

  -In addition, if possible, check the registry entries for this application, using a registry editing tool
  -After installation of Windows 8, try to paste application data into the same kind of directory structure.
  -Still, if possible, add registry entries for this application program.

  His laborious route that may work for some simple programs.

  Better is to have all the files Setup for the available applications.

• Windows 8.0 it will continue to support the

  I have an old workstation HP with single Xeon 3.06 core 2 processors and 8 GB of ram with windows 8.0. It runs great. But the Upgrade Wizard indicates that my computer can not put because of my old processors. :-(

  I'm not buying a new computer right now so my question is will. Microsoft continues to support 8.0? I can't find an answer to this. If anyone knows and or has a link to the answer, I would be grateful.

  Thank you!

  "Windows 8 customers will have two years to move to Windows 8.1 after the general availability of the Windows updated 8.1 to continue to remain supported in the title of the lifecycle of Windows 8." That means Windows 8 support, at least for the version that launched a year ago, will officially end on 18 October 2015.

  If you decide to upgrade to Windows 8.1, Microsoft will continue to support the operating system under its support lifecycle main period of time, with standard support ending January 9, 2018 and extended support until January 10, 2023. In other words, there are very few things to avoid that anyone with a PC running Windows 8 download for Windows 8.1.

  Source: Microsoft

  Regarding why you can't upgrade to Windows 8.1, is indeed strange, you check the updates to the BIOS? Its possible it could be updates available that will support, especially if she can already run Windows 8. Workstation HP what model is?

  What version of Windows also brought originally preinstalled with or which version you put in?

  If its Vista you could restore that, since Vista will be supported until 2017 or Windows 7, which will be supported until 2020.

  Hello

  in Vista, if using a Microsoft Vista DVD(NOT a Manufacturers recovery Disk), the "boot" disk repair process, you ask about, it's only a "Startup Repair", not a repair of the operating system installation; population

  You must have an operational Vista operating system to do a repair installation of the files using a Microsoft DVD of Vista system

• What does Windows DO when he "compact the message store? Do I lose all the messages? Is he blind?

  I'M pass my mailbox mailbox busy and get their percentage, but I always get this message box "Compact the Massage store"... but nothing to tell me HOW it will be repeated.  A bit like sign with a doc to read I think...?

  What does Windows DO when he "compact the message store? Do I lose all the messages? Is he blind?

  A value of any help, thanks EvieJD

  Hello

  The messages are really a database and compaction it just removes the white space
  assigned to messages that have been previously deleted. The process does not remove all
  other messages. Compaction of the database allows safer and less likely
  to suffer from corruption.

  Some information here:

  Message when you wake a computer Windows Vista from sleep or when you
  Restart the computer: "Windows Mail can compact the message store.
