my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?
My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc. I copied the last file on DVD, but it will not read it. All other recovery programs say there is no backup file.
Hello
1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?
2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
3. what program did you use to create a backup?
4. do you get an error code or error message?
According toOberwald, it seems that fbw files are generated by HP, not Vista backup tool. I suggest you to read the following article to restore files from Microsoft.
Backup and restore: frequently asked questions:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions
If you are not able to boot to the desktop, then I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
Method 1:
Start in safe mode and then try to run the restoration of the system to a point before you install the update and check if the problem persists.
Step 1: Start in SafeMode in Windows 7:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Step 2: System Restore:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/features/system-restore
Method 2:
If you used a third-party program, and then try to restore using the same program and check that it works.
Also check the FAQ from HP or post the question on a forum of HP.
Hope the information is useful.

After the computer crash and reboot in the middle of editing, I get error at every start
"Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.
IM using Win7
and I can not find the preferences file nor can I find the file Previews.lrdata as suggested in this post
Error at each start - after the installation of LR 5
Thanks for any help
The preferences file is not relevant to this error. Leave it alone.
To remove the preview cache, follow these steps:
1. quit Lightroom.
2. in your operating system, look for your Lightroom Catalog. Catalogs are generally/Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows.
3. Locate the folder whose name ends in "Previews.lrdata" and delete it. (note, may you enjoy a folder whose name ends with "Smart Previews.lrdata." You shouldn't need to remove that one).

Got a Probook 6450 b that crashed. don't burn the recovery disk so need to recovery disks. tried to order online, but the site does not deliver in my country of origin.
Have a friend who has a probook 6450 b but a processor 2.1 GHz and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Mine is Wondows 7 Pro, 2.4 GHz. can I use its on my laptop recovery disks?
How can I get preinstalled HP software back?
Tell us about the hard drive crashed. You can link it to your desktop and make a check disk on it? Which can make new bootable. If you don't care the utility partition and recovery being installed (you really won't need if you download and make the disc), and then download it here (you might put in your key Microsoft 25-digit Windows 7 Pro code):

Adobe Muse does not backup the Muse file while editing. As a best practice, you should take backup of the Muse file manually and save it to disk or online.

I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc. Then tried to open the files saved with IE. IE went into free fall. ???I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this... However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...
You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.
Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.
Do one of the following:
To view your files, click Restore my files.
To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Do one of the following:
To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.
When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.
To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.
If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htmAccording to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
(not a replacement of relief.)With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure. Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly. It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it. If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise. Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered. Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».
A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?
To test... Create a folder on your desktop. Copy some files into it - of different types. I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.
Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '. (It's really a file.) On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave. If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files. You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.

I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.
My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.
My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.
I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.
There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!
Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!
I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool

My computer crashed and the installed drive will not activate / validated.
My computer crashed and installs it is no longer the original disc, which I've used for many moons. I have a backup disk and use it when necessary.
The authentic backup drive was activated and validated several times over the years without any problem. I tried to activate/confirm this same disc for more than a week with no luck at all. I have about 18 days before it runs out. There are several products, I need in charge of Microsoft from the bottom but cannot
because they say that my product code is not valid. It makes no sense to me. Why Microsoft does not record the best or not be so fussy on a BONE
