Lost files... Vista Ultimate SP2

All but one of the subfolders in a frequently used folder disappeared! User access has not changed; It was my spreadsheets Excel most frequently used (and some matches) help!  Everything else seems ok - Word and Excel Inc. files elsewhere...  Checked Recycle Bin, see history - and trying to access previous just says "not available".

When you view the properties - it is said contains 106 and more than 600 files - which seems ok?

Hi Harrillwyd,

Records could have gotten deleted or renamed, or it may have been moved to. You can search in different folders or drives (partitions) and see if you can find the files.

If the steps above fails to get your folder, you can use your favorite search engine to search for third-party data recovery software which supports this feature.

    Somone can me link for windows vista ultimate SP2 because I lost my cd

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup.

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    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

  • Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 never come for sale at retail or oem like integrated single install?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    Unfortunately, Windows Vista is not available for sales that Windows Vista has been replaced by Windows 7 and Windows 8 (mainstream support ended on April 10, 2012). As a result, he was arrested in SP1. But, the extended support is available until 2017, then you can find updates and SP2 is a part of this update.
  • No sound in Vista Ultimate SP2 WMC for DVD movies

    Hi all. Vista Ultimate SP2 x 32,

    I want to watch movies on my HP Pavilion zv6000 DVD. The WMC play the DVD very well, but there is no sound. The sound works well otherwise game and music DVD OK. It is only the film DVD with no sound. I installed the codec and decoder to try to see if they could help, but so far nothing.

    I also installed the VCL and programs Corel DVD Pro and they play very well, good sound, but it is a trial version which I do not want to buy, so I would like to be able to use the WMC that comes with Vista that I already paid for.

    are there utilities or what is known to solve this kind of problem with the WMC Vista? The films are the only types of DVDs that I have the problem of noise, and they are all good DVD, Disney, etc., purchased on amazon.com, so that they are good media.

    Suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

    Just one additional bit of information for others. Other people I have rad and conversed with who have had the same question said that they could play the DVD movie with sound after you install the original version of Vista and even the SP1 update. But, after installing the SP2 update the sound played more. So what people could do is to check this area of their sound before installing SP2 to see if these boxes are checked and if not, go there first and uncheck these boxes after installing SP2.  I didn't know before not the hand, I did look to see if they checked if I don't know whether or not they were not checked before.

    But, in any case, after I installed SP2, they may need to uncheck these boxes in order to have sound with DVD movie again.

  • Orb is blocked at the start of the system on my Vista Ultimate SP2.

    Original title: Orb

    Hello

    Orb is blocked at the start of the system on my Vista Ultimate SP2, even if the box is checked in the setup of the system. What could be the reason? And there at - it a danger by unlocking it? If this is not the case, how can I put it so that it hangs every time you start?

    Thank you

    Hello
     
    1. When you say its blocked, that you get any message or it does not appear at startup?
     
    2. don't you perform a normal startup or selective startup?
     
    I suggest that you follow the steps below and check if the problem persists.
     
    Step 1:
     
    This can be caused by your security software, I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the ORB is blocked.
     
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If it works, then give exception in Firewall setting for the program.
    Orb is a third-party application, and if trust you him, you can add as an exception.

  • Update problem with Vista Ultimate SP2

    I tried to install sp2 to Vista Ultimate twice, with the same results, he failed. The whole process took about 6 hours to complete. The second go round, I disabled my Norton 360 anti virus and turned to "silent". SP2 looked like, it had been installed with success, until I restarted the system. The pc then rebooted and was told that the upgrade was not successful and was recovering to its previous state.

    The upgrade works great on my laptop when I run "home premium". The upgrade of the laptop took less than an hour.

    No idea what is causing the problem, or do I just have to live with what I have?
