My computer has traveled back in time like the way I bought it

Original title: my computer has traveled back in time.

I have an e-machine which is about 5 years old, running windows xp. All that was 'collected' over the years has disappeared; My documents, pictures, added software. Desktop looks like he did at the time of purchase. Is anyway to recover information lost?

You have a corrupted user profile.

There are several ways to recover from this condition.

One way is to perform a restore of the system as Divya suggested.
"Windows XP problems if your profile is corrupted"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326688 >

Another approach is covered in these regulations:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >

"How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151 >

Depending on the approach you use, almost always a corrupt profile is accompanied by disk errors. After recovery, do a 'chkdsk' on your computer with the /f or/r option:

My friend computer has entered 'back' and 'blue screen dominations' with only the keyboard access that we apparently had time to normal windows. (Vista) Now with normal Windows, the Web browser (firefox) would not connect with "Hotmail". Error message "Hotmail certificate is out of date and not trustworthy... blah blah blah", so I checked on another computer. Apaparently Hotmail is available only through Windows Live (with an address @live.com) so I went back to the original computer and tried to connect to the new address.

What happens with Vista / Windows / Microsoft / Hotmail?

In particular, where you connect with "Hotmail" these days if their old browser (Mozilla) does not connect during their emails?

I do not use these OS and Hotmail (today) to programs is not on my agenda. Can someone give a glimpse at why "Hotmail" on the Mozilla or Internet Explorer has "certificate Expirey date"?

Or did someone give a website address for the updates on the new Hotmail connections?

my computer guard reboot changes back several times after the installation of Service pack 2 on Vista.

I tried to update my computer (Dell, Vista Home premium) with service pack 2 for Vista.
But after completing the installation, there was an error when I tried to restart to complete update and work stoppage.
So I restarted the computer and, instead of log on screen, the message [service pack was not installed recovery changes do not turn off your computer] appeared
and then restart automatically.

Now it's repeating this cycle for a day!... .the message - > restart-> message-> restart...
What should I do? I can still start windows safe mode. (the same message...)
I have lots of important files it contains so really want to reinstall Vista.
Please help me...

Hi arkitekromero,

Given that repair options did not work for you. I suggest you try the method below.

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

Rename the Pending.xml file, and then change the registry notes read the following important notes before you use this troubleshooting method.

Use this method to resolve the symptom of restart that is described in the "Symptoms" section, so that you can back up data before you reinstall Windows. You must use this method of troubleshooting only if you plan to back up data and reinstall Windows.
Use this method only after trying other methods.
Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer for instructions on how to continue.
Use this method only if the computer has no restore points or if you cannot start your computer to a point where the system restore feature is available.
After using this method, the following conditions may exist until reinstalling Windows:
- An update is being installed may not be installed correctly.
- Windows Update may not work correctly.
- If an update is installed, you may be unable to stop the installation process.
- You may be unable to enable and disable certain Windows functions in option.
- Certain optional Windows features may not work correctly.
- The computer may be in an unprotected state.

To rename the Pending.xml file, and edit the registry, follow these steps.

Start Windows Vista and go to system recovery options:

Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then restart the computer.
When you are prompted to restart from the disc, press any key.
When you are prompted, configure the language to install, time and currency formatsand keyboard or input method options that you want, and then click Next.
On the Install Windows page, click repair your computer.
In the System Recovery Options page, click the version of the Windows Vista operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and modify the registry:

In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt.
Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.
Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.
Type regedit and press ENTER.
Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
On the file menu, click load the hive.
Look for the following folder:
C:\windows\system32\config\components
When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.
In the registry editor, find and delete the following registry subkey:
HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving

HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

Exit the registry editor:

At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.
Press ENTER.
Click restart.

My old computer has preloaded items first (I have the serial number) on which I had started a family film.

My new computer has Photoshop 10 preloaded and I want to finish my movies I have backed up on an external hard drive. How can I get a copy of the 8 or can I purchase an upgrade to 10?

It is unclear what software you ask the subject, but you can't go to the versions that Adobe no longer sells. Your only option would be to upgrade to the latest version 13.

If there are downloads available for the version you have depends on what application it is.

You can download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important Instructions in the section on the pages of this site download and have cookies turned on in your browser, otherwise the download will not work correctly.

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 8: http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml

my computer shuts down about 2/3 of the way after that the progress indicator starts and stops... any suggestion as it turns on again?

Try to update of Itune, update got stuck, I turned to the computer off, impossible to restart... the indicator stops about 2/3 of the way and the computer shuts down again...

Start Safe Mode removes the system caches that can help.

Follow these steps to start in safe mode.
1. Start or restart your Mac.
2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

Then try to update iTunes.

I do not have a disk for my computer and want to restart is back to the way I bought, please help how can I do this

Hello

my partner has a computer laptop bieng a complete spaz when buying said computer laptop did not come with a disk or a backup appeared basically does anyone know how I reboot back to when my partner bought so we can start all over again

laptop is a Toshiba satellite operating system windows vista Home premium

Hello

With a Toshiba, if you do not have to purchase recovery disc, there will be a disk to reinstall Vista from recovery Partition.

You press 0 (zero) to the starting power / and follow the instructions of Toshiba to reinstall back to the factory settings.

There are several methods to reinstall Vista, you may be interested.

There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

They should do this for a small fee.

To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

Ask them to the proper key sequence.

And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

"How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

"How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

Why do I keep showing an update of security available to install every time I go to the line. The same update, according to my history of update has been installed 36 times in the last month.

T

The update in question is updating security for Microsoft.Net Framework 4 on windows Vista 2008 x 86 (KB2446708) 11.2 MB Release date 12/04/11. I have Vista Home Premium 32 bit

Click on the round of start > click Run > outdoor: nature line in appwiz.cpl, click OK or press enter
If the race is not available, press the key (the key with the Windows logo) Windows + R at the same time to open it.

Click once on the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to select.
Now click on uninstall/change in the menu bar.
Wait until the load of the window and choose the repair option.

If the .NET Framework 4 has been repaired successfully, suggest you do NOT install the previously downloaded version of KB2446708, instead, download and save (NDP40-KB2446708 - x 86 .exe) from here - update of security for Microsoft .NET Framework 4

Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers.
Install NDP40-KB2446708 - x 86 .exe by do right click and choose 'run as administrator '.
Accept the UAC prompt.
If/when you are prompted to restart.

If the framework cannot be repaired, then uninstall Microsoft .NET Framework 4, restart the system.
If it is too corrupted to uninstall, and then run the .NET cleanup tool and have it delete only the .NET Framework 4.

If a program, application, or web site requires the installation of .NET Framework 4 for service, then reinstall to- Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (stand-alone Setup program)

If any program, application or website requires installation of .NET Framework 4 in the order that it function, so you don't need to do this or ongoing issues associated with updating.

Help! My computer is locked in what looks like the safe mode.

I turned on my computer a few days ago and he seemed to be in safe mode. All my icons are huge and everything in general is very large so that it does not display.

I restarted in safe mode and realized that the computer wasn't really with before safe mode.

It seems to start properly, but something is wrong with the scale. I also tried several system restores, but the question of scale is whenever the login screen appears.

Someone please! help me solve this problem. It is a game and laptops of business that now useless because everything I do on this issue is too big to work with.

Hello

Things to try (in this order):

1. set the dpi. Right click on the desktop, choose personalize. The option is in the left column.

2. set the resolution. Of the above customize menu, select display settings. Adjust the resolution to the right to reduce the scale.

3. If you can not reduce the resolution enough, it is probably because your display drivers were corrupted and you run a standard VGA driver. Visit the graphics card manufacturer's Web site and download the most recent (non-beta) release and install it, then restart your computer to finish.
