Lost my office and files after an automatice updating

I knew that my disk space is low.  I was going to buy an external hard disk to make more space.  Friday afternoon, when I shut down my computer so was eager to install an automatice updating and I don't think anything I just left alone.  I knew that it would be closed after that that he was finished.  Saturday morning, when I went to my computer it was my log in screen ready to connect and enter my password.  When I did it took me to a new office (as when you come back with a new computer from the store).  All my folders and icons that I had disappeared.  My programs are there, but when I click on start, programs, and click on a program such as itunes, it wants to install it as its not already installed.  All my files are not accessible from my profile, sign in.  I am in a panic.  I have so many things that I do not support up to cause its just too many things.  The funny thing is when I go to Explorer and click on all users, that all my stuff is in drive c under documents and settings...  How it make for where I open it my desk top?  And my programs like they were before, so I don't have to go back and reinstall it from the beginning?  My hard drive is always full, so I know it's still there.  I learned my lesson, I'll get an external hard drive today.  Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?  Thanks much for any help!

You must extract the data files on the computer, starting with the smallest and just a little at a time. Install the hard drive in another computer to do because it will put less strain on the structure of files on the disc...  Mike Hall MVP - Windows Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

    sewpretty,
    OK, the first thing I would say is get the external HD then copy or move your stuff on it.  Personally, if it were me, I would move as the My Documents folder.  Download all of my pictures and music, and docs on the external drive.  Now, me being a stickler for safety, I would try to copy them, and then, after checking that they are there, I would remove the HD, but that's just me.  Once they are safe, then I perform a system restore to a couple of the days before the problem and see if that helps.  If Yes, then you can load updates one at a time and see if one of them is causing the problem.  I also suggest to do a clean boot before you start to reinstall updates.

    After the recent update (security 2015-006, Mac OS 10.10.5, Yosemite), I can longer open all files in Microsoft Excel or Word.

    When I tried to open the files in the "Open recent" list, Excel reports "Excel cannot open the workbook. The file name or path contains invalid characters (for example, /). "Same error message appears when I go into the folder and open the file in Excel.

    When I tried to open an existing file of the word, he pointed out that "this is not a valid file name.

    PS: Please do not suggest you use everything as your other favorite programs.

    Click the folder just below the recent and see if documents are on my Mac. Additionally, click on a reader-Documents-then the file name and see if the same thing happens. I downloaded the update of security on the App Store and have no problem. Also, in your menu bar, go to help in the Office applications and updates.

  • lost my email and wifi after firmware update

    How to recover my old email address for [email protected] after update firmware to Version: 20111215 for my CP152NW Pro LaserJet?

    I have problems with the connection to the wireless LAN as well as well when I try to manually connect with LAN cable and with the new software and driver package Version: 12.13.0

    Hello vovsen,

    Unfortunately, when the definition of a new/replacement (or after flashing new firmware) printer, you will not be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Remove and then add the printer to your ePrint account, the address must be "released." After a period of 6 months, it will then be published in the 'pool', and then it should be available again.

    However, in creating a new email address, but adding 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.

  • Cannot open/save to files and programs after installing Windows updates

    original title: Windows Update - major problems

    My daughter has an HP laptop.  She has downloaded the Windows updates and now she can't open most of its programs.  Those that it can open, will not work correctly.  Some won't let him save, some will leave him no open files she saved in them.  If she tries to delete any program in the Control Panel, add and remove, she receives a message that there is a mistake and that the program has already been deleted. (Even the programs that it can open, but do nothing). Some of its programs to tell him that she is missing a .dll file.  If she found on the Internet and she sees something she wants to save, she used to be able to right click and save, now it does not get the dialog box when it right click.  She uses Firefox not Internet Explorer.  When she downloaded updates, the resarted the computer as usual, but when he arrived at stage 3 of 3 it locked to 0% (with NO hard disk activity) and would not go further.  She let it harden for more than half an hour and finally pressed the power button to force it to turn it off.  When she turned her back on updates have continued as usual.  Is there a undate for the Wacom which was attached to the computer at a time. Everything worked fine before she comes to install the updates.

    Hello Mel_F,

    Thanks for your post.  Initially, we will execute the file system checker.  If that does not solve the problem, the next is to perform a Startup Repair.  Please let us know the results of these utilities so that we can help you get this resolved.

    See you soon

  • I lost all my media files after removing the battery for blackBerry Smartphones

    My employer asked me to remove the battery from the phone, as they had no trace of the IMEI no to my phone.

    When I reinserted it all my media files - videos, sound time and pictures - were gone.

    Again, I have all my contacts and continues to receive emails from work, so the phone had not been restored to preset.

    I have never had a media card, so all the files are in the phone's memory, are they retrievable?

    Now when I use the phone it wont let me not record a video as it is also no card inserted media. It wasn't a problem before.

    Why the battery would cause the memory to wipe?

    can anyone help?

    What is a device issued to the employer?

    You are on a BES (BlackBerry Enterprise Service) business account?

    The card is inserted correctly?

    Options > memory, made it sets out a memory card?

    I'm sorry that this driver has not worked.

    It's not like you can start in safe mode without seeing the display.

    Try to boot from the W10 installation disc and select Repair and see if you can get into SafeMode like that.

    I can't find info on how to go in safe mode by pressing a key of function like in the good old days.

  • HP computers laptop bluescreening and gel after receiving the updates of windows April

    We had a few windows updates down April 10.

    These have caused general bluescreening and laptop freeze when using wireless.

    We use XP on 2510p, 8460p, 8440p, 6910p and expereincing laptops all the same defect.

    So far about 60 portable odd reported the fault but our estate is about 600 computers hp laptop.

    It is possible that all are affected.

    Manual removal updates which can be removed does not solve the problem.

    System Restore does not resolve the problem in some cases and not in others.

    The portable remaining, we have to rebuild.

    Please tell me that someone has found a good solution to this problem.

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2653956)

    This can be closed now.  Blue-screening has been resolved by a system restore when it is possible, via laptop rebuild where not. We believe that the gel error was caused by interfering with Symantec Endpoint 11.x windows updates as soon as we went from MS to 12.x the freeze problem when connected via the wireless stopped.

  • Unable to import raw files after 5 Lightroom update!

    I tried to download my photos from my SD card on the 5 light bathroom reader. It's a lot of photos, more of 1000 and when I try to import the photos a message quickly enough and he said "certain import operations were not conducted and the following files were not imported because they could not be read. (1078), I've tried about 20 times.

    Please help me.

    Hi emmashortfilms,

    This seems to be a permissions issue.

    Make sure that the location in the import window is correct and read full & write permissions.

    Location of destination can be changed by selecting the drop down menu at the top directly in import next window of ' to THE '.

    Kind regards
