MRT.exe ate my photos. Can someone help me get back them?

I am running Windows XP service pack 3.  I keep all my photos on a separate hard drive in its own file labled photos.  According to this hard disk a file arrived on labled 00f3f1d25bf937f91f.  When I looked inside this file, it shows that it contains a file called MRT.exe dated 05/17/2011.  As it has been bothering me not let him alone.  Unfortunately however today my mouse, which can be a bit tempemental, rather than open the file of the photo, which was immediately next to this file, moved the photo file to the folder labled 00f3f1d25bf937f91f and won't let me open it.  I tried to move the picture on the 00f3f1d25bf937f91f file, but the system is in place with access denied.  If I look at the properties of the photo file I can even if I can't open it, it shows the size of file as being zero byte.  Can anyone tell how I recover my photos?  I guess they are there somewhere the extrnal HDD is provided by Seagate and on my directory is called FreeAgent drive. It is not used for anything else other than a backup of hard drive that I did not run for a few weeks so wherever the photos went to what they always be you somewhere.
Besides the above, I'm under full AVG anti virus with firewall suite etc. so I don't know I need anyway this program MRT.exe.  I seem to have three versions of the present on the hard disk at different times.  I have not looked to see where he may have repeated itself.

  • Can someone help us get COMMENTS SETTING TOOL to work as described in Acrobat Pro XI?

    Our company seeks to pass on comments on paper to electronic shared reviews, and Adobe XI has been selected. (Window 8, Acrobat XI) However, we have a lot of difficulties.

    Our problem is that we would be able to join the small files (Word, jpeg, etc.) during the send it for shared review as described in the videos and the online help.

    What we have experienced is the following:

    1. a reviewer attaches the file using comments trombonepublishes comments and then closes.

    2. when they, another appraiser or the initiator opens the document, the name of the file to 'Unknown' changes and the name of the file with the extension appear in the Description in the list of attachments. This makes the unopenable file.

    Everyone knows this?  During the initial period while the file name always appears under the name in the list of attachments, it is pensionable.  When this name is placed on the Description field, it is lost.

    Here's how we do it:

    1. Choose the paperclip in the comments - Annotations
    2. Choose the location in the document and click it to select it.
    3. Select the file in the popup box and click Open.
    4. Click OK to select the icon and it is placed in the document.  File name now appears in the list of attachments in the left side of the document.  Using the simple arrow (right), it shows the attributes (name, Description, change, size, size compressed) the name appears under the name, the Description is empty, the size compressed, size and update the fields are filled out. Given that everything is finished, press on post comments.
    5. When the initiator or other reviewer opens, the name is unknown and the name of the file is now under Description and there is no way to identify the file or open it.

    Can someone please help us with what we're doing wrong?  They make it sound so simple, but nothing don't we try works. It was one of several features that direction really wanted.

    Thank you, Diane

    This issue with the COMMENTS SETTING TOOL has been resolved for our company with the release of 11.0.09 was updated today (17/09/14).

  • My canon eos 30 d flashes too powerfully and whiteing my photos can someone help

    Hi all

    When I take pictures my eos 30 d is too powerful for automatic photos I take and whiteing on the subject

    I looked in my manual and can't see the answer

    If the device worked properly, then started to overexpose in mode auto, most likely, you have changed some settings...

    Go to the menu, select and use 'all clear camera settings. You can also go into the custom functions menu, select and click 'Reset all custom functions'.

    As a last resort, you could do a "reboot" of the camera. It's a bit like rebooting a computer to clear incorrect instructions that are stuck in the memory.

    To do a reset, first turn off the camera, then remove all of the batteries, including the money bit "battery memory" which is in a drawer inside the main compartment. Turn on the camera and press the shutter button once. It fires without batteries, of course. But this drains any residual power in the circuit.

    Turn the power off, reinstall the batteries and turn it back on. Check the date and time. If you got a restart appropriate, they should be set to zero.

    If you do not have a proper restart, you can use the same procedure, but instead of pressing the shutter button just leave the battery for about an hour. This should allow any residual power to drain it and cause a complete reset, too.

    It can erase some of the settings you have made inadvertently, causing problems. Or it can erase a statement stuck in memory, string just as restarting a computer clears its memory and help it work better. (After all, devices digital photo is essentially the laptops. )

    You might also consider relocation (upgrade, if necessary) the camera firmware. Sometimes, it can be damaged and giving problems. If you go to the website of Canon and research for 30 days, in the software category and downloads you will find the latest version of the software for the camera and instructions on how to install it. Follow the instructions carefully. It is not difficult, but it must be done according to the instructions, or there is a risk of "bricking" of the camera.

    Finally, it could be a bad communication between the camera and lens. Some flashes use data of distance from the lens to help the force of the power of the flash. Remove the lens and clean the contacts. Usually the best way to proceed is to wipe the contacts Golden at the rear of the lens with a clean cloth which is slightly moistened with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing cheap alcohol is fine). Just pay attention to leave the lens optics and do not touch the mirror inside the front of the camera or the screen right above the mirror.

    Also, you can check the pins 'spring' corresponding to the contacts on the lens to work correctly. Gently press on each spindle and watch it springs in place. Sometimes, these can be sticky, causing problems of communication between the camera and the lens.

    Factory default of compensation and/or reboot the camera that you will lose a few other settings you did and you will need to go into the menu to manually redo all the parameters you use regularly.

    All these are things you can do yourself and which costs nothing to try. They may or may not help. If so, great. If not, you will need to have a repair technician look at the camera. Either find someone local who can work on it or send it to Service Dept. Canon

  • Can someone help me get rid of Awesomeph?

    I downloaded an ebook, but turns out that it wasn't what I expected, so I removed it. But after that, I noticed that my search engine and home page has changed. I tried to delete everything I found about the download, that I made in the Control Panel, has managed to change my search engine and home page. But every time I start up Firefox, Awesomeph home page but when I click the icon on the home page, Google (which IS my home page) was going to start.

    I installed a malware software as what is recommended on sites dedicated to this problem. Scanned and remove 19 threats found, rebooted my system, but still, Awesomeph is here. What should do?

    Please take care

    Comments from one of the moderators of the forum ~ J99

    Please note that this cannot be recommended as a solution. Similar alternatives can be better.

    • Use Firefox Reset

      • See Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules
      • Effectively, which creates a profile for the most part and removes Firefox extensions, while keeping the old profile as a copy on the desktop, where it may be needed again.
        BUT it does keep the passwords and bookmarks
    • OR create a new Firefox profile

    Simply remove profile removes important things like passwords and all your bookmarks.

    I find when Firefox behavior will not stubbornly return to as it should be, just delete my profile Firefox does the trick. Before making such a thing I recommend to backup your bookmarks to be reinstated later.

    Your Firefox profile is a file that contains all of the parameters of Firefox, extensions, modules, bookmarks and much more in it. It is created by Firefox when you first run the Firefox program. If you remove it so the next time you start Firefox, it will simply create a new - probably without any of the waste that has been modified in the last, and that is causing problems. In a system based on linux, this will be a folder named .mozilla in your home folder. To find the location of this folder in Windows, must meet a quick google where Windows stores the Firefox profile folder. Find it and delete it.

    If you do not delete your profile folder, you need to reinstall the modules or extensions. The difficult bit restores your bookmarks if save them you not first - and therefore don't do this beforehand.

  • CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET THE CPU TO QUIT RUNNING AT 100 WITHOUT A RUNNING PROGRAM? What is going on? Help!

    I just bought a laptop about four months ago.  The processor works 100% now with absolutely NOTHING running.  Microsoft answers this question?  I have critical documents on this computer and do all my work on the internet but I'm not a computer person.  I barely know anything about software, but I started CPU research because its knocking out my computer and causing it to run hot.  What does windows do?  I need this problem is resolved or I guess that Windows can refund me the cost of a new cell phone to destroy mines and this making it a useless piece of junk.   Does anyone have an answer?  Or should all go us to Apple?

    Malware is the more likely choice.

    Quick fix:

    • disconnect from the internet (if you have no malware, you don't want no computer talking to the internet)
    • Log in as an administrator.
    • Start the Task Manager,
    • Click "show processes from all users."
    • Click the CPU column header to sort the processes by the use of the CPU, click to get the maximum at the top
    • Now, you will see, if all goes well the task that uses resources.

    If you recognize it, you might try to end the process. It may restart automatically.

    If you want to know what is running, download Sysinternals Process Explorer better. It gives much more information: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-sysinternals-tools-you-shouldn ' t-being-without/2033

    Then continue with the anti-malware if necessary
