    Hello!

    Can you indicate the information where it says that the information is stored in our servers? If that mentioned anywhere we need to clarify.

    The only reference I found is here: How can I set up Sync on my computer? and it is specifically stated that the information is synchronized on devices through our servers. If it is misleading, let me know so that we can reword it.

    Regarding the storage of the key in your pen drive or any other backup system: this is the best solution and it will work correctly after you format your computer. The key does not change when you format your computer, so you will have no problems after all.

  • Cannot open my files money 2005 after replacing the hard drive

    Hi, I had to replace the hard drive in my computer and now I am unable to open my money (Version 2005) files. I get an error message indicating "Money cannot locate C:\~~~ or cannot open it, possibly because it is a read-only file or you are not allowed to change it or your hard drive, it is write protected etc.» I tried uninstalling and re-installing the money, but it has not solved the problem. The problem may be to do with the regional settings during installation of money, but when I re - install the money it is not giving me the option to set the perameters during the installation process for a reason any. My OS is XP Home edition Service Pack 3. How can I solve this problem?

    So your real problem is not that the files are missing or read-only, but that the money does not recognize the format the files are in.

    Even if you reinstalled Money, maybe you don't have also downloaded and installed some updates have been released for your version.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320193:

    If you are using Microsoft Money 2005, and you receive this error message after you have reinstalled Money, the behavior may be caused by not having money is not all installed updates.

    See methods 4 and 5 in the article.

    If this does not help, Veritas Aquitas had the right answer: ask in the forum of the money:

    Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
    Thank you very much for your help, has soon
    NJ

    Hello

    already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

    You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

    Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

    Bye and good luck

  • Cannot get Equium L40-10 X work after malware attack

    Hi, I'm new here.

    Only the portable computer satellite 1 week and it is infected by malicious software. Norton Internet Security has been enabled and up-to-date, but alas the worms won. It displays the message "Windows Explorer has stopped working" during attempts to start. Curiously, although the recording of AntiVirGear v3.7 message works perfectly.
    I have tried to format the C: partition, run all Safe Mode options, install Win Vista and install XP, CD recovery, BIOS settings, Windows repair and of course my old friend MSDOS.

    I removed the hard drive to 120 GB (3 sheets) and tried to pop in the modular Bay with my trusty so I could do as I didn't like another drive, bootable to harvest my files on the E: partition, then put the thing in shape. But the pins are different, although the disks are the same size. So basically I'm stuck with a PC deadish no fault of Toshiba, MS or anyone...

    Except the disbelievers AntiVirGear v3.7 programming which will gladly release my yoke of its channels referred that I give them my credit card information (if they have not already snatch that). If I do that it will be the beginning of "more than a purchase" and which will probably end my misery... So if anyone here can help, I have the hammer and the screwdriver ready.

    I went to Norton Support and they told me to try things I've already tried. And then they left, "contact MS. MS does not support OEM versions, so here I am.

    Please have a think on this subject.

    Thanks for listening.

    Hey Buddy,

    man, this REALLY seems to... REALLY strange.

    Therefore, to better understand:

    You have malware on your system (c :) drive), you want a system that works? Right? But you first want to sure some of your data?

    OK, it would be preferable to seize your hard drive, go to the following electronic market and then buy a USB - HDD enclosure. But first check if the pins did (which was the idea of taking your car to the market to verify THIS).

    Connect the USB - HDD to your system to another, copy your files, and then delete the ENTIRE disk. It would be best to try this CD to format and repartition your drive:
    www.UBCD4Win.com

    Then after you completely remove all partitions, you can drive your recovery and recover a system that works.

  • Cannot import Windows Mail 6.0 files after reformatting the hard drive

    Desktop HP of my wife had to be reformatted.  It is under Vista Home Premium.  Email is vesion Windows Mail 6.0.  I exported all the personal files in Windows Mail she wanted, through the export feature.  They are stored on a DVD right now.  The problem is that once I have reformatted the hard disk to the original factory conditions, I can't import files or messages.  The import in the Wizzard options is for Windows Mail (with outlook and Express) 7.  When I choose 7 Mail I get the following error message: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open.  If I navigate to the actual stored email files on the backup DVD I can open individual emails so that they were saved.  What can I do?

    It is a bit of extra work, but it will do the job.

    • Copy the files from the DVD to the desktop.
    • Open WinMail and create the folders that you need to match those on the desktop.
    • Open a folder on the desktop and you should see all of the messages as .eml files.
    • Select all, then right click on them. Drag the corresponding folder of WinMail and copy here.

    That worked? You can remove the files from office once facts.
