Reinstalled Vista on my Gateway computer. There are 2 users, how to find the files saved by Windows before reinstalling?
My C drive was blue screens so that I couldn't get into my computer and it became useless. I'm a total computer not so smart person, (politically correct too) :) In any case, after finding how to get in safe mode and fishing around a solution, I got the solution from scratch. It was April, which should give you an idea how well informed, I am when it comes to such things.
So I took the option that would save all user files before reinstaling the operating system which is original bought the 2008 version. Vista 32-bit. Yes I know it's old but it works again. So since then I tried to get it updated and secure. Gateway won't help me at all, of course, out of warranty and all. So I downloaded the service Pack 1 and 2 for vista and all the security updates and Microsoft security essentials and IE9. So now I'm finally back to normal, which I think is a relative term.
So now, I want to find all the files of the user who have been registered by windows before the reinstall took place. My folders and files from my sister. Treatment of text and pictures and stuff.
Once I found how to make their return to where I am and where it is?
You are welcome.
Unfortunately, you have not yet told how you have saved the files.
If you used the Auromatic backup gateway, they say that the files are in the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive.
You will need to open that folder and either copy and paste or drag and drop them where you want them to be.
It's a question you'd have to ask Gateway:

.
If you sustained yourself using Vista DVD files or an external hard drive, is how do to the files from the point upwards.

What is recent vs vs document download. clydeneeley, etc. I can't find the file I've worked before. There are several of the same name.
It's up to you to choose carefully where to save the file and choose the name carefully. If you don't do this, you will never find the file. But try using your Mac or Windows to search for the name.

I opened the computer under the second user and I checked my files.
I don't want to use another user in order to access my files.
Please help me.
It sounds like you have a corrupt user profile. One way to solve this problem is described in the following Microsoft KB article:
"How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
<>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >A corrupted user profile is often accompanied by file system errors. A disk with the option/r or/f check should be performed as well. Sometimes, this will solve your problem as well. WARNING: A disk check will take hours to complete and can not be interrupted. Run all night or when you won't need your computer for awhile.

This happened only after I deleted my temporary files, but does not see why this file would have been affected
The file is part of the malware MyWebSearch toolbar. Either you have uninstalled the malware program or your antivirus/antispyware program did. In all cases, a reference has been left in the boot file. You can remove the reference by managing your startup.
Because you had a piece of malware, the chances are too high you had others. It would be a good idea to scan. I recommend to download and install MalwareBytes' anti-malware (MBAM) from http://www.malwarebytes.org . The program is free. (There is a paid version, but you don't need to buy it to remove the malware).
Manage startup:
(for XP) Start > run > msconfig [Enter]
This will open the System Configuration utility. Look under the Startup tab and find the likely culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, apply and OK out. You don't need to restart immediately, but next time you do, you will get a dialog box saying that you have used the utility. Just check the box that says in effect, "don't mind to this subject again".

I tried to launch MS Money which is part of Microsoft Works Suite, after the upgrade to Windows 7. Neither the 'I agree' button appears when you try to install the software.
The following message appears: "there are other users logged on to this computer."If you install or remove a program or change the installation of a program so that another user is running, it, there can be problems with the installation."To properly install, change or remove a program, click Cancel, and then switch and disconnect each user." Rerun the Setup program. »I had installed Windows 7 but I had no problem but I have used a password. However, I could not recover files from a backup. I ended up doing a clean and try installation again, but without success. This time I do not use a password, because there is only a single user. How can I solve this problem? Help, please.Install the appropriate version of money for your location from the following:

How OE 6.0 behaves if there are too many messages stored in the Inbox or sent folders?
Ability of OE message
How OE 6.0 behave if there are too many messages stored in the Inbox or sent folders. And the number depends on whether or not they have been read. Is there a limit on the file deleted or is it supported by Auto removes permanent?Partially covered in your other post.
General precautions for Outlook Express:
Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.
Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.
Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
