• I lost all the photos, files and programs, can someone help me please?

  I did a system restore (I think) and lost all the photos, files and programs.  Can someone tell me please how do I get back them?

  Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

  Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

  Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

  Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

  Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

  C:\Documents and Settings

  Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

  Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

  Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

  Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

• Problems with importing photos using Windows - Photo files are corrupted in the Gallery windows

  I use Windows to import images from my camera (Canon Rebel EOS) to the computer (HP) and display them in the Windows Photo Gallery.  Recently, the photos in the Gallery become corrupt once downloaded, which means they download fine then when I open "Images" to see in the Gallery, they photos each are corrupted with ribbons of various colors, or the image is cut into strips to compensate.  It didn't happen when I uploaded the same photo files to another computer so I know that is not the fault of the camera or individual files.  I scanned for a virus (I use AVAST).  Can I fix this, or is there any other software I should use to download files?  I'm just a MOM ol ' ordinary looking to transfer the zillions of photos that I take my children.  Help!

• Vista seems to be corrupt JPEG files which XP was ok with

  JPEG files which I have kept for many years and transferred on CD have been very well until I changed from XP to Vista a few years previously. My work with videos and still images has been very well with Vista t but glancing back older jpegs, I find that the copied versions on XP to Vista have a high percentage of images corrupted. It's complicated by the fact that Vista will not recognise the CD with XP.

  Can I recover files corrupted on Vista?

  There are forum copious comments on Vista corrupt JPEGs, yet Windows answers hardly addresses the issue (on the last page of 50 pages of customer problems).

  I wonder if I've lost these photos forever?

• Corrupt photos on my Satellite M50

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M50-130 and have just started to have a problem with the photo files.
  They began to corrupt and the preview comes up with the words "drawing failed" or "no preview available".

  I can still see the thumbnail image but the info for the file, IE the size and what the camera has been used disappeared.

  I don't know why this is happening and it has not stopped. I open old files with photos in and found that one or two were corrupted.

  It could have been using ad-aware, I guess. I did a system restore to a different time, but this does not solve the problem.

  Any other ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello James

  Please don't be crazy on me, but I see no connection between the described issue and Toshiba as the manufacturer of the laptop.

  In my opinion corrupt photos has something to see how you use your laptop and stuff everything you have preinstalled on it. The fact is that current operating system you will be able to open all the jpeg and bmp files (if it is not damaged).

  What kind of photos you have (jpeg or something else)? Have you tried to open these files on another PC?

• nilibddc dll: opening files tdms with the corrupt index files

  Hello

  I have a question about the error handling when using the nilibddc.dll.

  I want to use nilibddc.dll to open the .tdms file. At the time I experimented with some error cases and got stuck in a case:

  When I try to open a file with a corrupted file .tdms_index .tdms I get code error-6211 (DDC_StorageCouldNotBeOpened).

  The file .tdms_index is corrupted due to errors during the copy of the file.

  The problem I've noticed is that I have a lock on the corrupted file .tdms_index file after DDC_OpenFile (...) (I can rename it, but I can't delete the file!).

  As you can see in the code snippet - it is not really special...

  int ddcError = 0, length;
  
  DDCFileHandle	file = 0;
  
  ddcError = DDC_OpenFile (file_path, NULL, &file);)
  Here, I get ddcError is-6211
  
  If (ddcError == 0)
  
  {
  
    do something with the file...
  ddcError = DDC_CloseFile (leader);
  If (ddcError == 0)
  
    {
  
      < "no="" error="" -="" everything="" done"=""><>
  
    }
  
  }
  System ("pause");

  I miss something here? Should I use DDC_FreeMemory in somehow to free open handles?

  I also tried to use the DDC_OpenFileEx (...) with readOnly set to true. But that doesn't change anything!

  Thanks in advance for the help,

  Daniel

  You are right. The sample file you attached to your message causes an access violation. If no normal flow program and apllication in undefined state.

  I will direct the file to developers. I tried to generate a file that causes the same by beating some index files, but has failed to create one on my own. It happened to your site more than once?

  What can we do?

  In the first place, simply copy the PDM. The index file will be recreated when the file is accessed. What is lost when the index file is not copied, therefore the time required to create the index file by scanning once the PDM file.

  I hope this helps a little

• I lost all my photos that were stored on my computer in the folder my pictures in my C drive.

  Somewhere, I lost all the photos that I had saved under folders my pictures in my C drive, I don't really know what happened to them, I searched and not the have not found their.  I was told that sometimes when things are deleted, they may not necessarily have disappeared from the computer and a person who knows may be able to recover these files.  Is it possible and how would I go about this.  If you could help me I appreciate it a lot.  I hope that they are not lost forever, they are family photos and wouldn't think they are gone forever...

• Outlook Express - repair/restoration of corrupted DBX files

  Hello

  I recently lost a number of local folders in my Outlook Express (OE) I found in the store DBX. However OE does not read/open them very probably because they are corrupt. It is apparently a common problem.

  I searched and found a few tools that claim to repair/recover corrupted DBX and I tried three demo versions. None of them were able to repair corrupt DBX files. One of the tools has been honest enough to admit that some files may be irremediably, and he provided a full scan of the drive that found a number of lost/deleted messages, some of which were originally in the records the of OE that I had lost. Although no no trouble so far, no cost using the versions demo.

  A number of experts suggested a tool called DBXPRESS claiming to recover the corrupted DBX files. Unfortunately, no demo version is available as proof of effectiveness before buy you.

  Are repairable corrupted DBX files, as claimed by the softwar ecompanies and if so, how, and with what software?
  As it is a common and potentially disastrous problem, not Microsoft should be persuaded to provide a radical solution to avoid a manual tedious backup process.

  All views / advice is much appreciated.

  Outlook Express is an e-mail and news client supplied with Internet Explorer. Outlook Express is a different application from MS Outlook. The two programs do not share a common code base, but share a common architectural philosophy. Outlook Express uses the Windows address book to store contact information and integrates tightly with it. Microsoft Internet Mail and News was a freeware e-mail and news client and ancestor of Outlook Express.

  The executable file of Outlook Express, msimn.exe, is a remnant of the era Internet Mail and News. Internet Mail and News managed only plain text and rich text email ( RTF), lack of HTML e-mail message.

  Outlook Express has been subject to a number of problems which can corrupt its files database, especially when the database increases volume due to the increase in number of stored emails and during compaction of the database.

  The dbx file Corruption can occur due to these reasons:

  1 MSIMN has caused an IPF in module Msoe.dll.

  2 MSIMN caused a page fault in module Msoe.dll at address.

  3 outlook Express could not be started. It cannot be installed correctly. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you're not out of memory.

  4 outlook Express could not be started because Msoe.dll could not be initialized. Outlook Express is not installed properly.

  Outlook Express stores e-mail messages in the databases that have a .dbx file extension. Each folder in Outlook Express (same subfolders) has a database that are associated with; so if you have 20 folders you have twenty databases. The databases have the same name files so the Inbox folder has a database called Inbox.dbx.

  In these cases over corruption is probably in the file "Folders.dbx". It's the main index more of the entirety of the record Store and without it, Outlook Express is unable to do anything, in this case, the only solution is to delete the file corrupted in the storage folder. This will allow Outlook Express to start and to build a new "Folders.dbx" by re-indexing of all the DBX files it finds in the storage folder.

  For lost information, follow these steps:

  1. recreate your e-mail folders hierarchy by dragging files in place in the list of folders. Note that any folder that you've created to group sub files but that does not itself contain messages will not appear in the list of the files and must be recreated.

  2 re - download the list of groups of discussion of each news account.

  3 reset your subscribed discussion groups and re-download the messages.

  4. set options on IMAP folder synchronization and newsgroup.

  5. modify a message rule that moves or copies the messages in folders other than the Inbox.

  Here are the steps from which you can return the loss of information. And if your information not recovered again then it could be a serious problem. In this case, go for the recovery software to recover your data from dbx files. I can send you a link that can surely help you recover your lost data. Try this link:

  Good bye.

• restore the photo files missing

  The files were not in the trash. They appear briefly in Exzoombroswer and Piacsa, but disappear after opening the program. I tried to resize a picture to email when it happpened. I remember something about "sharing". Which I ansered YES to.

  Here's a generic article on how to recover lost (including photos) files which can be useful:

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help (try Recuva):

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• Please help me. I lost all my photos?

  I was organizing my pictures on Windows Photo Gallery so that I could burn copies.  I had not backed up the files.  The image file was low on the left panel, so I tried to move it to the top.  As I did I accidentally dropped it into another file.  I couldn't find a way to get him out.  Photo Gallery seemed well so when I finished my taggable picture I liquidated in Windows Photo Gallery.  Now I can not open and 'Pictures' on my Start menu are absent from all the pictures I had stored there.  I opened Windows Live Photo.  Only photos that are raised there are those that I have my granddaughter tag.   Miss me about 2 500 photos.  I have tried everything I can think of to fix this, but nothing works.  I lost all my photos?
