ProgramData/microsoft/ehome, the folder is damaged

Hi, hope you can help me with my problem.
I have Windows 7 64 bit and I use Windows Media Center to watch TV. Everything was fine for a few years, but recently when using Windows Media Center and selecting Live TV image and audio has been broken up as if I had signal problems. I have checked the antenna to a TV to set and had no problem antenna. So my TV tuner card was pretty old I decided to replace it, but the problem persisted. Then, I deleted the folder c:/programdata/microsoft/ehome remove windows media center data and carried out a scan of the channels of Media Center find all strings and everything was fine, until the next time I started my PC and started to live TV and the picture and sound were scattered again , so I went back to the above, but this time I saved a copy of the ehome folder when everything worked fine, now whenever I have start and launch Media Center/Live TV the picture and audio are broken upwards, but after a reboot and copy it and paste my folder backup ehome all is well again.

What cold be initially the folder or the files into it to get corrupt whenever I have stop or start my PC.

Thank you
Ron Lagarde

Hi Ron,

1. do you get an error message/code?

2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

This problem can occur because of bad drivers and the corruption of system files.

Method 1:

I suggest you to update the card drivers TV tuner from the manufacturer's website.

Reference:

Method 2:

Run the sfc/scannow to renovate broken Media Center and check.

  • Creating the folder Microsoft Office on the Dock

    Hi all

    I enabled VMWare Fusion so I can see my Windows programs in the Applications folder on my MacBook Pro.  I created a folder (standard blue folder) and all desktop icons 2013 places in the file.  So, when I go into the Applications folder on my MacBook Pro, all my desktop icons 2013 are in a single folder.

    My question - is it possible to customize the standard blue folder?  With Office Mac 2011, the folder is a black folder looking for Nice.  Is it possible to customize the standard blue folder that I created so that it looks like the Office 2011 Mac folder even if I'm not actually under Office Mac 2011?

    You uncheck the preview pane? Why did you switch to a different identity?

    For lost messages, the two most common reasons for what you describe any disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished) or bloated folders. More about that below.

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    Hello, c_chase26

    You can try to do a system restore to a point when your computer was working properly.

    You can do this by going to start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, open system restore and choose a date when the computer was working properly.

    If you can't do a system restore, you may need an upgrade in Place, or a reinstall.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • Where can I find the Documents and Settings folder or the folder on Vista?

    I need to find a Real Player file file so I can delete it, but am unable to find the floder Documents and Settings.  I need to delete a file called treestate.dat but am unable to find... Help, please!

    In Windows Vista user profiles

    In Windows XP, 2000, 2003, user profiles are stored in c:\Documents and Settings. In Windows Vista, the profiles are now stored in c:\Users. You will see a folder c:\Documents and Settings in Windows Explorer in Vista, but you will also notice the shortcut icon on the folder, and you will not be able to access this folder. c:\Documents and Settings is now a junction Point. You can use the random dir command to see where c:\Documents and Settings point to or use the table below.

    The following table lists the old profile path and the new path under Windows Vista.

    Old path

    New path

    \Documents and Settings

  • cannot find the folder "program data".

    original title: New Data - Program for Windows 7

    I just bought a new computer with windows 7.  I am trying to install programs, for example, installing a program to C:\program data\Quantum.  I go to 'my computer' and can not find the folder "program data".  Is it possible that windows is hide it?

    Sandy

    Hi Sandy

    The program data file replaced the all users in previous versions of Windows.

    Open Windows Explorer. Click on organize / folders and Search Options / View tab.

    Select the option Show hidden files, folders and drives, and then click apply/OK.

    Navigate to C:\Users. In this folder, you will see a folder named all users with a shortcut arrow or the layering of padlock. It is a symlink pointing to the ProgramData folder. Right-click on the folder and select properties to see this data.

    Your programs are not currently installed just for the ProgramData folder. This folder is used to allow any user (for all users) access to an installed program that allows any user to operate this program.

    Many times, when you install a program, you will see an option to install the program for the current user only, or to install for all users.

    Another way, you can see it is to click on the Start button, right-click on all programs, and select open all users. This will open Windows Explorer to the

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu folder.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Successfully installed XP Mode, but is not "Windows XP Mode" in the folder "Windows Virtual PC"...

    Successfully, I installed XP Mode and the VPC and ran the first time very well. I installed a few programs and quit smoking. Now, I have a Windows Virtual PC folder in my Start menu. It has shortcuts to launch the programs that I have already installed and they work fine, but there is no way to start XP Mode in its own window that it was when I ran, so I can not install anything else.

    All the info I've found say to select Start-> all programs-> Windows Virtual PC-> Windows XP Mode. However, in the installation of this entry is not. The only thing there is another folder containing the apps I had installed the first time.

    Please offer suggestions for the restoration of the facility.

    Thank you.

  • How to organize all of the programs in the folder hierarchy?

    I just got Windows 7 after using XP for years.  I like to organize the list of programs on the start menu, depending on the area of functionality (support, business, games, etc.) instead of having a long, long list of programs.  How can I do this with Windows 7?  Right click on the Start button does not open the folder that contains the list of programs.

    1. click on start.
    2. right click on all programs, and click on "Open All Users".
    3. If you want to sort the programs under just your profile, right-click on all programs and click on 'Open' instead.
    4 sort away to your heart's content!

    You can also get the directories of programs through Windows Explorer by copying-pasting the following into your address bar and press ENTER:

    By user: %appdata%\microsoft\windows\Start start\program
    The system-wide: %programdata%\microsoft\windows\Start start\program

    Hope that helps, have a nice day!

    The record does nothing wrong to my computer, but it is annoying and unnecessary.

    Note: I don' t have this folder on my admin user account on this standard user account.

    I found the solution...

    I use the registry editor to remove the unnecessary files, but...

    BE CAREFUL if you remove something else with the registry editor, you may damage your computer.

    In any case, open the registry editor and go to this path:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace

    And delete all the folders inside "NameSpace" - folder

    If you are not sure how to do this:

    1. Press 'Windows key' + Q
    2. Type: regedit
    3. Regedit open as administrator.
    4. Go to this folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace
    5. Delete all files within the folder namespace
