Is there a way to recover Microsoft Outlook data after reinstalling Vista?

I had to reinstall Vista Ultimate to solve a problem on my computer (as the manufacturer helpdesk told me), and then all the old data on the C drive has been erased. This was done in a hurry, and I don't remember to keep all Outlook files (and then lost all emails, contacts, entered calendar etc.). Is there a way to recover these data now?

If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

You can try this program:

http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

    Hello

    What version of Windows are you using?

    If it is deleted from the memory card, it can not be recovered. However, there are some third-party applications or the tool that will help you recover photos. If you have saved the pictures on the hard drive and deleted, so you can check in the trash.

  • Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the origianl certificate?

    Is there a way to recover the EFS encrypted files stored on an external drive without the original of the certificate?

    I had photos/files stored on an external drive and have been encrypted with EFS in XP. The main drive crashed, all keys have been lost. Got a new main drive, installed the new OS and now can't access encrypted files.

    Unless you can retrieve parts of your old drive or have a backup of your encryption certificate, you have probably lost all of your encrypted data.  Recovery agents work only if they are in place when the file/folder is initially encrypted.  A program like AEFSDR might be able to resurrect your old certificate from your old drive if it is readable at all.  If you plan to use EFS in the future, make sure you read the following article the court - particularly paragraph entitled "why you should back up your certificates.

    "Best practices for EFS file system.

  • Is there a way to recover deleted history sites? Also, a way to prevent unauthorized users to erase history?

    Is there a way to recover deleted history sites? Also, a way to prevent unauthorized users to erase history?

    You need administrative rights to do this. Be careful as it is possible to easily create a very difficult to solve waste.

    Run gpedit.msc

    Reach

    -User configuration

    -Administrative templates

    -Windows components

    -Internet Explorer

    -Delete browsing history

    Disable the feature turned on 'delete browsing history '.

    You also probably want to configure

    -InPrivate

    Disable the active InPrivate browsing

    If you use IE8; Otherwise, the user can simply avoid registering in the first place.

    Also - the browser menus

    Tools menu: Disable Internet Options... menu active

    would be a good thing; Anyone who shouldn't be allowed to delete the history of should not be also change too much in the Internet Options.

    For some reason, changes to this setting of group policy have no effect in IE6 and IE8 on a workgroup computer XP Pro.

    In fact, I would like to disable the entire Tools menu item; However, there don't seem to be any means to do.

    Run gpupdate /Wait:0

    Any user who cannot access gpedit.msc, editing the registry (regedit.exe, regedt32.exe) or mmc.exe may re-activate it now grayed out in the menu items.

    Note: mmc.exe can be activated by right clicking my computer even as a limited user. Remove or deny permissions to these files for administrator users.

    I would like to configure them on a per user or user group basis. Does anyone know of a way to do by not part of a domain?

    I know no direct way to recover deleted history sites. Perhaps, they enter the trash somewhere. They may be captured by the network of monitoring programs, even if they have been deleted from the personal computer.

  • Is there a way to recover the deleted files without using any software?

    Is there a way to recover the deleted files without using any software?

    Is there a way to recover the deleted files without using any software?

    # Software is necessary.

    First check the recylcl tray. If she isn't here, read the following:

    "Deleting" a file does not delete actually it brand just space be used. There are third-party programs that can sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and this makes the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent, if you try it again immediately after deleting it and quickly down. If you have used the computer since then (for example to read this answer and write that question), your chances may be very weak now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop using the computer in question immediately, if you haven't done so already. Download an undelete program (in here is one: http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html but there are many other choice; do a search) on a friend's computer and bring it to you on a diskette, CD, or drive to the thumb.

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the drive to a professional file recovery company. This kind of service is very expensive and may or may not work in your case.

    original title: product key

    Hello

    As you have lost the product key of the Tower, it is a preinstalled operating system and you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    They give you a different product key.

    What you can do now is ask them to send you a set of recovery disc for the computer model reinstall the operating system to how it was when new.

    Also while you are in contact with them, if you never receviced a reinstall to purchase drive, ask them how to make the recovery discs to do the same thing, if you still have access to the recovery partition.

    None of these methods of resettlement requires normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    I did a full backup rman db.

    Thank you.

    OK, when you discover a "Note", it means a Metalink Note (now My Oracle Support). RMAN start the instance, it used a 'fake' spfile, when you restore the 'real' your backup spfile you must stop the db so when restart you the restored spfile is read with the correct values for the db settings.

  • Microsoft tools for restore the disk framentation system, and several others are missing. Is there a way to recover/reload?

    My computer crashed so I had to use my recovery disks that are about 8-10 years. When I reinstalled Windows service pack 2, the system recovery tools and several other microsoft tools not have installed on my system. Is it possible to recover these tools? The command prompt tells me that they are not on my system and get help from the Server Manager in the service (Net HelpMSG 2185) option. Can you tell me what that means and if/how I can do this?  I can't find a tab from the system restore on my computer. I guess that's because I have more access to these tools. My messages when I try to update things like Windows Media Player tells me that I can't set a date of restoration and that if I lose my installed programs that they can not be recovered. Guess that means I have to use my recovery again disks?

  • Is there a way to recover from a backup firefox sync?

    I reinstalledy my win7 box recently. It ' a windows.old with the original installation directory. Is there a way to get the key out of the .old directory synchronization? I don't know where the things of customization are stored, but no doubt there is a file or something that I can copy in my new installation so my sync can keep working without wipe me everything?

    Lesson learned, save the key to recovery somewhere you will remember!

    If you have a backup of the Firefox profile folder you can copy the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt in one Firefox profile folder.

    You can check if you can find the key to the synchronization in the password manager.

    Make a backup of the he signons3.txt and signons.sqlite files if you already saved passwords or create a new profile and copy the files in the profile folder to inspect these files.

    The "Application Data" in XP/Win2K folder and the folder "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.

    You can find the password synchronization and the synchronization key in Manager password on the computer where you created at the origin of this synchronization account (email).

  • Is there a way to prevent Microsoft to change the name of the driver of a scanner to #2?

    I support the scanners as part of my work, and I often that a scanner driver will get automatically renamed by Windows with a "#2" after the name of the original driver. Is there a way to avoid this? The reason is that we have created an application that stores information to scan to use when scanning documents, but it loses connection if the scanner automatically gets renamed.

    Sometimes users are plugging the scanner on a different port while the other times, unexpected events, such as power outages, cause scanners rename themselves to try to restore the functionality but just to break our application. I think at this point, it would be better to disable the naming of autopilot for other USB ports (if there is a way to do it) because we would rather users not being able to scan at all and let us know so that we can resolve the issue that in order to restore the functionality and the user thinks that he is well again , but in fact does not work in our application.

    I don't know if this would require a change to the registry, changes in Device Manager or something else. Thank you for your consideration.

    Hi MSwick,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    If I understand correctly you are facing problems with the scanner. In order to quickly provide a solution, please answer these questions:

    1. is the scanner connected to a domain network?

    2. how many computers are connected to a network?

    If the scanner is a domain network, I'd recommend posting your query in the TechNet Forums.
