Replaces program files AFTER a complete recovery and backup.

I'm a complete insofar as amateur application and computer knowledge are concerned. A few days earlier, fed up with the slow pace of my all-in-one HP with Windows 7, I chose to do a complete factory of this machine reset. I bought a 1 TB external memory unit and proceeded to back up all my photos, music and video files. I have also backed up "Program Files" and "Program Files (X 86)", and other files and applications that I thought were important. I then put the computer into recovery factory mode, using the Option "recovery" provided in my computer, and everything seems to go as planned. When I turned on the computer again, it has known many fluctuations and indications, but apparently crossed his recovery operation, as expected.  Sorry for the long story, I think that any assistance provided by the community would like to know what happened to speak to 'HELP'.

My HP all-in-one computer was apparently made in 2010, and any programs or accessories of the trial were available at that time there were apparently installed during the recovery has been completed. I had accessories and elements of the trial I have does not know or want and put them on the side for now. I've updated (or downloaded again) some elements, but I'm still left with many elements of my 1 TB storage unit. In particular, programs in the Program Files and Program Files (X 86) folders. Can I move or copy the contents of these files in the 'clean' computer program files or should I leave it alone? Photos, music and videos are moved to their respective folders, and that is easy for both.

I know I'll have more questions that I can present to you at this time, but any guidance or help is greatly appreciated.

I would recommend not to return these program files from the storage to the cleaned computer unit.  For the most part, just worry a true "user files" as you mentioned (photos, Documents, etc.).

The reason is that the necessary program files have been already regenerated themselves on the computer cleaned up, and in general these are not transferable in any case.

    Have you followed the steps when removing Firefox below?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • I moved my Adobe program files on my drive E:\ and now I can't install Extensions

    I use Adobe Master Suite CS5.5 on Windows 7 64 bit, I moved the programs using a program called Application Mover (http://www.funduc.com/app_mover.htm)

    I am trying to install a .zxp extension in Flash Professional, but have not been able to do without Adobe Extension Manager knowing where my Flash program files.

    The only programs that show on the extensions Manager are the 64-bit ones, Photoshop, and After Effects.

    Is there a way of either bypassing the extensions completely Manager or is there a way to update the paths in the extension manager?

    Thank you

    The extensions manager gets the path of the installation of all the products supported (DW, PS, etc.) of the database that is created during the installation of the suite. Application Mover does not know this database and cannot be updated, so after the Mobile Extension Manager cannot find all the displaced products.

    To install the extension through the extension manager, please visit http://forums.adobe.com/thread/977023?tstart=0. Although this guide is intended for the bridge, it also applies to other products.

  • I need to recover files after a system recovery.

    Hello.  I had to perform a recovery system on my Vista operating system.  I lost all the files and programs that I had already installed.  Is there a way I can get those back? I have ProDiscover installed on my computer.  Can I use it?  Thank you.

    For any question about ProDiscover, contact their Support: http://www.techpathways.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=6&tabid=11

    Programs should always be reinstalled after a restore to the factory settings.

    If you have an installation clean back to factory settings, you normally wiped your hard drive clean during the process.

    You can try this program:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

    Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

    Hello

    _How to use the recovery disk? _
    That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
    In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

    _How to save files? _
    First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

    In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

    You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

  • I imported a Garageband file after effects CC 2015 and hear a clicking noise

    I exported the file of Garageband as an aiff uncompressed in iTunes. Why this file creates a clicking sound when I make in After Effects? It sounds perfectly fine when I play it in iTunes and Garageband.

    In fact, I went to Audition CC 2015 and export the file as an 8 bit 48000 Hz with 2 channels. The click has reduced but is no longer complete the entire song, even if I increase the size of the buffer of 512 to 1024. It does not always end the whole song. At one point the song was more audible.  A technology Adobe told me that Adobe After Effects is unable to deal with 16-bit audio in development mode.  I need to hear the 16-bit version. I did my thesis in AE using music, so I can't believe I have to use the 8-bit version to try to animate, and then import the version made in first. Very disappointing!

  • Access user (UAC) shield appears on a large number of my programs now after Windows Update download and cause problems with some programs, no one knows how to fix this? (Windows 7) (Windows Update post a coupe of weeks)

    Hello

The shield of the UAC is now appearing on many more programs for some reason any and now I'm a guest whenever a program is available. which is also appear on my AntiVirus program. Action Center flag appears almost every day now with warnings saying that my AntiVirus program and spyware is off (not sure if this is related to the UAC shield), but when I check my AntiVirus program everything works and after access; the flag of the Action Center shows while all right. Nobody knows how to solve this problem and get rid of the ecu of the UAC on programs (or at least some of them I want to be invited on)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    I'm sure I've upgraded to Vista SP2, but not absolute, I can't find a lot of information in the case of the newspapers with the service pack level... only vista combined with some process is perceptible. I bought July ' 09 new and it came pre-installed with Vista on it. I think this is the tool I used to remove McAfee on this; It also came with Norton as an alternative option and both have been removed using their tools to uninstall BitDefender installation instructions walked me through the location and the removal of two of them before installing BitDefender on the computer. My user account is configured as an administrator, but when I right click on programs with the shield of the UAC on them, I'm not running as an administrator. The UAC slider is set at the 2nd ranked (by default); but I do not know how it was listed previous, I wondered about moving down one notch (but he advises not and I don't want to spoil anything).

  • Can I remove my exported html bookmark file after I re any and it merged with my restoration of my old favorites? Even with the json file?

    I recently reinstalled my OS on a new drive and have just successfully restored my old favorite and imported all the new bookmarks that I had saved from the OS install. I just want to know if it is safe to remove the json file I have restored from since it was on the old disk I want to format and I can also delete the html file I created by exporting my new bookmarks until I started this process?
    Marc

    You can keep a backup of the old file or make backups, backups JSON on the new computer.

    You can decide for yourself if you would have a use of this file.

    If all bookmarks have been restored successfully, then you won't need the backup, and you can create a new backup regularly if you have modified or added bookmarks.

    I would like to backup the content of my recovery partition on another drive and possibly 7zip it down and burn it to a DVD or 2.

    So can someone show the partition table for a new drive.   Because if I lose this HARD I have no viable recovery media.

    Maybe I can compare my settings with a labour recovery partition.

    Is also the regardless of bootable recovery media?
