Programs and software disappeared after my computer has been reformatted

I recently had a PC virus on my desktop. I have and I was told that they had to reformat my PC. I have no idea of the land of what that meant except my original software and programs have DISAPPEARED. I do a lot of the event flyers and programs for Church functions and the program that was installed sucks. I can't for the life of understand me. I do my flyer for the Easter Services. The budget is tight!   So right now I can't afford to purchase the software and download on my PC. Are there programs that are free to use for my purpose without installing something on my PC; and it is FREE to use?  In any case help I would be very happy. Thank you.

You need to reinstall your programs from the original media you receieved when you bought them. Reinstall your data from backups that you perform regularly.

If you do not have the programs, you will have to buy them or Google for alternatives. Nobody here knows what to tell you, since we have no idea what you're talking about.

If you do backups of data, you're out of luck.

    my computer has been deleted and my photos from my photo file. so I wonder how I can get all my photos if I can at all... my computer was giving me problems and saying that the hard drive has been mess up so I went back and restored my programs and it restored everything but my photos and other files, that I would just get my photos.

    How exactly do you run restore?

    If you have used a disk recovery or a recovery Partition...
    to reinstall your system as it was when you first
    bought it... your personal files may be missing
    unless you do backups on an external support.

    There are programs of software designed to recover the
    deleted files. The following freeware is an example...
    a Google search will find more.

    If there is no file on your hard drive with
    not been crushed... There is a little chance that
    You may be able to recover some of them.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  • After that computer has been idle, error installation about DriverCure

    Get the message box on my screen after that computer remained inactive during the night of DriverCure saying Setup error. I was not able to locate to uninstall / reinstall. I don't remember always to help or even try to load this product. How can I get rid of this?

    If you go to start and type msconfig. Then go to the tab startup look to see if you see a program called DriverCure here. If so, then uncheck the box and restart your computer to see if you get the Setup error.

    Before going any further, do a manual system restore point.
    Right-click on the computer icon in the desktop, then choose Properties
    In the left pane, click System Protection
    Alternatively, to directly access the System Protection tab, click Start and type SystemPropertiesProtection.exe.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click on create.

    If you find DriverCure, then look at the location and copy the path. It would be something like: HKeyLocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run
    Then go to start, type regedit. Then highlight the path you have copied, if drivercure present in the key, and then delete it.

    Then reboot and see if you still see the same error install DriverCure.

  • Recently my computer has been reformatted, now Vista gives me the penalty.

    I recently had my computer back in shape by a local group of professionals.  They have done several computers for me in the past so I think that the problem is not with them.

    Now my computer has a lot of free memory space, and I'm beginning to re - install my software, i.e. games, MS Office, you have.  Some of the programs of re - install fine, others get to halfway and the setup.exe doesn't work, finally explore hangs and I have to manually restart the computer.  Anyone else having this problem / had this problem?  Any advice would help, the correct answer would be even better.  Thank you!

    OK, sorry it took so long for me to return.  I solved the problem of installing my programs by copying the files of programs on my C drive and installing this way (worked like a charm).  I now use another question.  I think you might be something with the question if the correct drivers have been installed.  My programs are installed, but now, when I run it I have graphics issues.  IE: the program would work fine, then the screen will turn on briefly, brightness becomes changed (it gets darker) and then Windows will freeze and blue screen on me.  What is a graphics driver issue?  Should I be demanding money from these so-called professionals?  Thank you.  Oh, checked the event viewer and found I had several of them:

  • How to recover programs lost after the computer has been repaired?

    Original title: ACER laptop help

    I recently had some work on my laptop ACER Aspire 5515 and the guy who worked on it took a bunch of programs out of my computer to help with the repair.  I don't know what all he took off, but I want to recharge my desktop computer with all of the programs that came with it when I bought it.  I do not know a program I want to come back is the one where I can play a DVD.  I can play is no longer a.  The initial problem was that my mouse arrow was frozen on the screen and would not move.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Check with the Acer support because they would have provided additional programs that came in the
    the factory computer. You can beed to buy the original installation so support these programs
    are provided in this topic. This disk should be pretty cheap since your already own Windows.

  • How do to get the documents after the computer has been infected by a virus and wiped

    Hello

    My laptop works most completely and there was a humming noise whenever I tried to start. I learned that the laptop was corrupt. I was informed by the customer service to clean the laptop. In doing so, all parameters resumed those available at the time of the purchase in 2008.

    How can I recover all my documents, pictures, etc.?  I take the laptop to a computer technician to help with this.

    Can also advise you how to make a backup of all items stored on my laptop please.

    Kind regards

    J.

    Wiping the phone clean and restore to factory condition as advised by "customer service" (that may be), you actually deleted all the files that were on the computer. Recovery, even by a specialized at great expense data recovery company will be at best fragmentary.

    I'm moving your question to the forum space Windows for system repair and recovery, where it is possible that you may receive some additional tips, but I think that you can simply cut your losses at this point. If there is a hardware problem that caused the initial symptoms, it is likely that you will face more questions and data loss unless you get the hardware repaired/replaced.

    Hello

    Each manufacturer of system or camera maker provides their own software to control the camera so
    You should check with their support, their books online and ask in their forums (if any).

    You probably need to recharge the device drivers and camera control software (usually included
    with the drivers and installed at the same time).

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Manually look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
    to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Then let windows updates on however prevent loading of drivers who are often older than the
    those that you have installed. If updates suggests a pilot and then HIDE it and watch manually to see if their
    really is a more recent version (at the time system manufacturer and the sites of the manufacturer of the device).
