Missing files after system restore
My computer crashed in what appeared to be a virus. I did a system restore, but now I always have missing files. I can find them if I search but I can't navigate to them. Any ideas?
Never mind. The restored files were hidden... weird.

Impossible to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection after system restore
Hello
a program has been uninstalled (Symantec Endpoint Protection)
After have rebooted and still have problems to install a newer version, I decided to do a system
Restore prematurely, I uninstalled the original version.
(Since I couldn't find the installation files or my license info)The old version worked again. Now I am able to start the
new version, the old version will not uninstall.It just sits there in a small box with a bar saying Windows of progression
in the configuration of Symantec Endpoint Protection and it remains as it
for as long as I left, at least 25 minutes.I thought that the system restore would put things back exactly as they
have been, but it's apparently not the case.OT: Impossible to uninstall after system restore
Any ideas on that?
The OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit 64-bit.
I found this, but have not yet tried.
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en-usI was able to cirumvent the problem by a selective startup in Msconfig.
I disabled all startup items, all services not MS, restarted and then uninstalled
successfully. However, I met another strange problem.
After uninstalling old version, I rebooted (the system was still selective
startp) I put a new restore point and installed the new version successfully.
Later, realizing msconfig has been arrived at "selective", I went and
has tried to return to Normal startup. However, when you select normal
and hit 'apply', it immediately jumps to selective. I have never seen it before.
I didn't know how to solve.
Instead, I uninstalled the new version of the AV program, jumped to the restore point
I did before I installed, rebooted, open Msconfig and have been correctly set up
In normal mode. Then reinstalled the AV.
Everything is OK now.
You ever heard of this problem of msconfig before?

File missing after system restore
Dear Sir.
Today, on a tecra M2, I did a system restore, but suddenly, the message came that I had to re - install the following file: \system32\ntoskrnl.exe: How can I do this: put in the recovery cd or just make a formatting the drive with the restore cd?
Thanks in advance
drweekxHello
System Restore is a very useful tool, but it is not the miracle solution! :-)
Your "ntoskrnl.exe" file seems to be corrupted and this file is very important as you BONE!
You can try to start Notepad, and then press the key "F8". This will take you to a menu and you can choose the 'last known good configuration"and the VGA Mode.If you are lucky your laptop work after that, otherwise you can only recover the portable whole! But if you have important data on the NB you safe to an external drive!

I need to do a restore of the entire system with disc received from factory.but that I have personal files and folders that I need keep.such as banking, contacts, photos, ect. ect. How do I put them on a dvd a restore then their return after the full system restore
Hello
If the system still boot and CD/DVD Burns just put in a DVD-R (write once) or DVD - RW (burn
several times)-it will encourage - when its ready use Windows Explorer to drag and drop files (and
their content) on the DVD. When you're ready, click BURN. I would like to make a couple of each DVD for
Security with redundancy. These will not be encrypted and you can access the files out of them or
subsequently copy on a hard drive.Basically, make sure you know what you want to copy the files and put them in a blank DVD to write.
---------------------
If the system does not start, then you will need to put the drive in another computer or in a
External enclosure USB so you can copy files to removable media.---------------------

DV6 - 6153cl drivers for biometric devices missing after system restore
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6153cl Entertainment PC with Windows 7. I used the fingerprint reader, since I have my laptop. The scanner has stopped working.
Background: two weeks ago, I downloaded the latest version of Norton 360 (Version 21.1.1.7), which caused my laptop to keep crashing every few hours. After much time consulting technical support, I did a system restore to a few days before the new version download then downloaded the version of Norton 360 and active. This solves the problem of crash.
Problem: After restoring the system, my fingerprint reader no longer works. By control panel > all Control Panel items > biometric devices, "Windows do not have the biometric devices on this computer. You will need to attach your device or install device drivers. "Can someone tell me what are the correct drivers that I need and where to find them?
Thanks for your help!
Hello
First of all, download and reinstall the driver Validity Sensor on the following link.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe
Once completed, restart the laptop.
If it still not works, you may also need to reinstall HP SimplePass on the link below.

Yet, when it has installed, restart the laptop.

Hidden after system restore files
recently taken food out of a date. I had a "system check" trojan virus, so took a day before the virus has occurred. When I restore my music, photo folder files, documents, etc. are 'hidden' the reason why I say hidden is because when I right click-> properties it still shows I have more than 1 GB in this specific case, but it does not appear. Any help! ??
Hello
Here's a possible solution that I gave to a few different posters in these Forums with a problem similar to yours:
You may also still have some malware installed.
Read the information on the link provided (Section 19 and 21) on the way to "unmask" data and Start Menu as a few skins of Malware.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-Windows-Vista-recovery
While you're there, it would be a good idea to follow in their footsteps of malware removal to ensure that your system is clean.

Disk space HARD disappeared after system restore
A day ago, I decided to free up space on the C: drive of my computer. By the time my drive was 10.4 GB of space. I deleted some old games and files, releasing much of the space and defragged my system gives me a total of 29.5 GB of space.
Shortly after, I was forced to do a restore of the system on my computer to correct an error. To recheck my space on the drive, he came to 10.4 GB. Deleted programs have not returned and after a thorough check of the system. I tried several other forums as to find an explanation for the missing space, but most of the answers in the forums does not solve the problem at all.
What happened to the 19GB of space freed after deleting these files and old games?
Hello
Since you did a system restore, fragments of programs that have been installed on the system earlier were able to return. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below.
Step 1:
Run Disk Cleanup on the system. See the article mentioned below.
Description of the tool in Windows XP disk cleanup
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310312
Step 2:
I suggest you to do a Disk Defragmenter. See the article mentioned below.

Dell V313 does not print after system restore
My apologies if I should have posted this elsewhere.
I have a printer all-in-one Dell V313, using Windows 7, 64-bit. I really like the printer.
I used the "remove IE11 update' to good use, and he continued to print well for about a month, until...
My father ran a system restore point to solve another problem, and now I can print is no longer. DOH!
I moved that pesky IE11 updated again, but this does not solve the problem.
When I "Launch Dell printer at home", instead to open the main menu, a dialog box pop box, asking me if I want to open, save, or cancel the download to a temporary file named "DSX # .tmp", where # change every time.
I opened it with notepad and this file seems to contain a rudimentary version of this main menu, but of course it is not interactive. (The home Dell printer menu is never responsible.)
Another interesting note is that when I print something (does not seem to matter what program), the printer status area is not - what appears instead is a html file called jswdialog.html. This file is apparently empty.
I made Java and run-time environment has been updated, just in case. I tried to remove all traces of the printer (by removing prints, queue, stop/print spooler, printer, uninstall drivers uninstall from compensation), and reinstall everything from scratch, right down to the firmware of the printer, but nothing will print when I ask him.
Instead, it adds the work in file print, which then comes out after a reboot.
The scanner function works of the printer itself, although this menu of the printer on the Dell home page will not start.
Any suggestions? I must be missing something, but I don't know what. My last resort is to reinstall Windows, or reset whenever I want to print something, but I'd rather not.
Thanks for reading,
Matt
Matt,
Try these teak and see if it prints. If it's not I can guide you reinstall the printer, but printing or tasks that can be frozen in the queue will need to be removed or the problem would remain.
Start, Control Panel, Manager of devices.
Go to the section USB controller, and then click the plus sign +.
Go to each USB hub root and right-click on it, on the left, click Properties, on the left, click power management. Uncheck the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
Restart your computer.

Missing desktop icons, system restore only a temporary fix
Hi all, hope someone can help. The shortcut on my desktop icons disappeared over the weekend. Ran a system restore and they returned with the exception of the trash to recycle, thought that I could live with that. After a time I keep the laptop, returned the next day and they all went again. Ran to an older date system restore, they came back, but when I re - start they're all going again. Checked the box 'show desktop' and it works in the bar side and summer menu control panel "taskbar and start to" all the boxes checked. Have tried to re - define shortcuts, process works very well but the system usually show them. Interestingly, the laptop starts, icons flash me momentarily, but don't show in fact once the system is clean awake.
Ideas please
Thank youHello

Re-installation of Captivate 6 trial after system restore
Hi all
I installed the trial 6 Captivate (on Captivate 5.5) Friday last with 0 problems. This weekend I had major issues with my video card driver after changing my resolution and scaling in the Catalyst Control Center. After the restoration of the system - which has again last Wednesday - I was able to update all who need them. When I tried to re - install the trial of Captivate 6, I was able to get all the way to the installation window during initialization. The green bar filled to the top (toward the end it got really slow) and once it has been filled, the window disappeared and nothing else happened after that. I tried to delete the files I had and re - download. I made sure that my Flash Player has been updated (it wasn't) and tried again. Same question. I have restarted my computer several times. That did not help. He arrived at that same place every time and it goes no further. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
I spent almost all day in the cat / the phone of an Adobe engineer who literally could not help me. I thought maybe I could find a Captivate 6 file sitting in my registry, but I didn't know (I checked Adobe files). It is not installed, so I can't go to uninstall it, I looked in the control panel. I'm a little confused. I guess that critical a file either has been corrupted during the restoration OR a critical file is missing during the restoration, but I'm not tech savvy enough to know what to look for or where I should be looking for it.
Thanks for any help you can give,

Satellite A500-1CO - loss of data after system restore
Hi all, because the system was slow I decided to restore the system using the DVD of restoration system (1,2). The problem is that I have not saved anything from drive D, and after the restore, all files have been deleted. My logic was unaware that the restoration apply to drive C (system disk) and let the D drive as it is, but I was so wrong.
Is there a way to recover all or part of the lost data?
Please help me. Thank you.
Hi mate
Unfortunately, I think that there is not much to do now.
Recovery DVD redefines the laptop to factory settings and, therefore, this disc format the whole HARD disk and also all the partitions and, therefore, you will lose all data if you n t backup this before starting this procedure.You should read the user manual or information before starting the recovery. :(

My ability to do a system restore is zilch.
It turns out that my laptop Win 8.1 is unable to run sys restore due to the service being missing module.
And I have to work around that and implement a registry key to make a correction.
I have no idea where the file % SystemRoot%\WinSxS\folder_name.
All this to fix the error 126 in services.msc
I had many times where a reinstall of my computer would do the trick - however, I don't want to lose everything.
System Restore is a feature that I use, and it works at all. Pretty disappointing - it's always something.
Any comments would be appreciated.
