My maintenance utility tells me that my prefetch folder files have been deleted.
Original title: prefetch files
My maintenance utility tells me that files in my prefetch folder have been deleted... what it means and I can get them back or do I need to? Never heard of these before
These things are scams if you paid for it. They do nothing good for you. I recommend that you stop using it because it does not speed up your computer. In particular the registry functions.
Don't worry about the prefetch files. They will reform.
The Prefetch files are there to make your programs start faster. In fact, I doubt that you can measure the amount of time with a stopwatch.

I get major errors that led me to think my windows files have been modified and currupted I just can't install microsoft updates they download, but I'm unable to install, I'm unable to use the Disk Defragmenter and disk scan as it said my system is already in use. I am also unable to use my acer factory restore settings because it loads but never finishes running can someone please help!

Download of updates of work but the installation of updates arnt working
installation of games arnt working cd - I get errors
disk defragment simply does not work I click top but nothing happnens - perhaps sumthing to do with priviliages admin, but I am the administrator.
Scan disk does not work as it says system is already used but works if I put it to run at reboot
MY acer DEFAULT factory restore setting does not work it loads but never short - that led me to believe I have no control over my privliages of basic windows system, but I am the adminsitror.I already had major problems when WIndows would break and stops working when you start up, I managed to solve this problem in safe mode and disabling some start up programs to check the malware was eventually attached to my system using windows scanner and malwarebytes defnder, I managed, but it seems that it is undetectable.
I am unable to afford a new cd for a new clean instalation of windows, I think I need. can someone please
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
You can contact Acer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
It comes to the use of the partition Recovery of Acer to restore factory settings.
http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631
Note: During the process, all data stored on your computer will be overwritten. This means that all of your files, such as e-mail and photos, will be deleted. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all data before starting the recovery process.
To start the system recovery:
- Restart the computer.
- When the Acer logo appears on the screen, press the left Alt and F10 keys.
- If you are prompted with a Microsoft Windows splash screen, press the Enter key.
- After that the Acer eRecovery Management application is loaded, select your type of restore.
- Read the review and then click Next when you are ready.
- Click Next to start the restore process. It may take 10 minutes up to an hour fom anywhere to restore.
- Once the restore is complete, your computer will restart. After the reboot it will load Windows and start the installation of your software and drivers. Your computer will restart several times during this process. Once they are all completed, your computer will be like it was when you bought it first.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens or the recovery Partition is damaged, 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 '

I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.
When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.
When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.
Thank you
Phil W.
Hello
Start > type CMD
Right click on CMD and select run as administrator
Type diskmgmt.msc
Press enter
This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system
Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend? Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?
http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition
Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system. To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.
To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig
Click on the Startup tab
You see two operating systems listed? Windows 8, Windows Vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/
I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions
400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)
- 300 MB EFI System Partition
- 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
- 17 GB Partition Recovery
- 220 GB of Partition primary
Windows Vista has drive C and drive D
Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline. I tried to 'find' a different folder and it deleted the folder all together and now I don't know where he is. Help, please!
How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?
You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.
If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.
Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.
Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.
Is this the same problem as above, or another?
I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.
Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

How can I remove items from the list that have been deleted when I click on it it keeps showing the empty folder
I gotcha! Here is the list of recent files that Reader displays at startup. You can change this in the preferences of Document Reader.
- Choose Edition > Preferences in Windows, or reader > preferences Mac OS.
- Click on the category of Documents.
- Enter 0 for the Documents in the recently used list.
- Click OK and restart Acrobat.
If you wish, you can go back and enter something other than 0 for this parameter, once the list is allowed to go out.

How can I store the passwords that have been deleted
I had the usernames and passwords stored for multiple accounts of e-mail on the same site. These have been accidentally deleted from the list of saved passwords, and now I can't get Firefox (23.0) to remember once again. I have no password check enabled (behind a master password), and this site does not appear on the list of "exceptions." In the password management utility, there is no facility to add new passwords, not to remove them. It seems, once removed, Firefox assumes one will never want to save this site again.
I'm in and out of these accounts literally dozens of times a day and now connect in the manual every time. How can I get Firefox saves these combinations of name of user and password for me again?
Yes. AutoComplete = off is a direction that web sites can give a browser to instruct them not to store the data that you enter in an input field. This can be search terms that you enter on a Web site like Google, but also the privacy and security of sensitive data such as a credit card number.
If you use the bookmarklet so you know what you are doing and give it a second thought.
If you use the extension that you don't notice that a Web site prefers that you do not to save this data.With recording a password, you will need to confirm a prompt, but the other form data can be recalled if imperceptible autocomplete = off is removed.
