  E-mail

  MY Windows Vista had to be restored on my computer.  I lost my e-mail folders that I had saved.  Is there anyway to restore these files?

  Messages are stored as eml files.  Is there no eml files, then there is no message.  Check in the windows.old directory if there is one, because it may contain old data.  The location of the message in Vista store is c:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail, so you might check there.

• How to restore a file that has been lost and partially restored?

  I have it has not deleted, but when I started my computer a scan of indexing was performed for a deleted file.  What was restored was an older version of the deleted file.  There were parts of other files deleted also.  Or old version have been restored instead of the current version.

  I have it has not deleted, but when I started my computer a scan of indexing was performed for a deleted file.  What was restored was an older version of the deleted file.  There were parts of other files deleted also.  Or old version have been restored instead of the current version.

  It should be a little clearer, at least for me.

  What do you mean by "a scan of indexing was performed?

  What do you mean by "shares of other files deleted also?

  How the file was restored?

  Do you mean that you have run a chkdsk and it detected disk errors and attempted to remedy and that you are now looking to the files created by chkdsk (*.chk files)?

  The computer is configured to automatically perform a disk check.  He said this morning it was running a check disk and restore one of my files.  This file has been restored to a version much sooner, as well as several other files when I checked later.  I ran a check of the index that says he would restore the files, but that did not help.  It will only run chkdsk.  I think I'll have my paid gurus do.  Thanks for your help.

• Programs on the user account and the lost files

  Hi all, yesterday I came home after having some holidays and started my pc and when I chose my user, all my files and programs have disappeared, even my wallpaper was by default... So I went to: C:\Documents and Settings\(my user) \desktop and everything was there, so I moved all my important things for the user 'new '... Today, when I chose my user, I go to my former user, with all my stuff and my old wallpaper, but the things that I moved just disappeared... I need help, these things that I've lost are really important...

  Not good.

  You initially suffered a corrupted profile.  When this happens, Windows compensates by logging in with a temporary profile that is deleted when you disconnect you.  What you should do at this point is presented in one of the following articles:

  "How to recover damaged Windows XP user profile"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/555473 >
  or, Alternatively,.
  "How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811151 >

  What you did instead was to move all your data in your temporary profile that is deleted when you disconnect.  You must be disconnected, that's what happened.  Files passed.  So, your best alternative is to this point to restore your files from your backups.  ('Very important' things are always saved).

  If you have no backups, then you learn now why they are needed.  You should immediately stop using your computer/drive, remove the drive and take it to a professional that can recover deleted files.  You can also (on another computer), you can search the Web for programs that can be used to recover deleted files accidentally.  Sorry, but I can offer no recommendation on such programs.

  Sorry and HTH.

• Restore lost Photos

  After you have reinstalled the cd of vista on my computer, I lost the pictures stored on a Kodak easy share application. Is there a way to restore the lost files. Date lost Tuesday, April 19, 10.

  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.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

• Restoration of files!

  Hello!

  I had to reformat my computer, Windows 7, 64 bit, HP Wallpapers but don't worry because I have an external hard drive HP.   When I did a "restore", all files were made on my desktop in a folder marked, "Restored files".

  My question is, how I 'restore '?  What I have to go back into the painful process to set up my computer and office-if I remember?

  I hope that someone out there has an answer because I'm lost.  There are files in this folder, with the fact that I have no idea what to do.

  Thank you

• Lost files after that the user profile service has no problem

  In order to correct a problem with the user profile Service failed, I followed the instructions at support.microsoft.com/kb/947215 to remove the corrupted profile and create a new.  Profile corrupt (probably) was my usual login and my login of admin privileges (I didn't know there was no reason to separate them).  I created the new profile of admin privilege and connected successfully with that.  However, my original admin profile is not deleted and I can now log on that as well.  So now I have two profiles admin and a guest profile.  The problem is that I can't access my data files using these profiles.  This includes my documents Word and Adobe and other applications in which I entered the data.  The applications are there, but they appear as having no data in them.  My screen came back on the screen by default, and almost all of my desktop shortcuts have been removed.

  How can I access my data?

  I have a restore point on January 22.  I deleted the corrupted profile on 30 January.

  You can try this:

  1. Download, install and run the Restore of System Explorer.
  2. Select a date that precedes the January 30.

  This will give you a virtual drive letter that shows the C: drive as it was to the selected date. Using Windows Explorer, you should now be able to copy files and missing files to the place where normally keep you them.

  This could be a good time to review your backup strategy. The rule is: a file that is not saved is a lost file. It's only a matter of time. Regular (e.g. weekly) backups on an external (usually a hard drive in a USB enclosure) are common.

• After running PC Refresh on Windows 8 lost files

  * Original title: critical lost files after update PC on Windows 8 - not in the Windows.old folder, so what is the best way to get back them?

  Initially, I had a problem whenever my phone wanted to do an update. It takes 30 minutes for the update and then I would get an error saying updates could not be performed changes recovery. I called the helpline PC came with my computer. After a few here to get the update to work, they told me that they will have to perform a PC Refresh. I was told that I would not lose any of my personal files, photos, docs, etc... I did it. At first, it seemed everything was ok except when I went to access some files that belong to a photo software I use.

  I knew that my software 'Panstoria' would have been lost, but I wasn't expecting the files I have access through it to lose. When I reloaded Panstoria I couldn't find the files I acceding known for 'My leap' software, which file name is manifest.vaultx. This software allows me to label photos, file in categories, journal etc. Again, I didn't know all this has been a problem because the software States very clearly that all of your photos and other are not saved in the software but rather your documents... then I thought about updating PC would be ok... turns out NOT. I can't find "repository"My"in the documents. I have even returned to the folder Windows.old and they cannot find.

  My questions are these: what is the best way to try to recover the files? If I do a system restore which will bring back all the documents as they were before the update? A system restore would return all users that may have been changed as well?  I'm just sick to my stomach that I can't find the file because it is the last 20 years of pictures and videos of my family and if I can't get these back I lost all my memories :-(

  Hello

   
  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
   

  According to the description of the problem, I understand that, after the system update, you've lost critical files.

  I imagine how it could be frustrating when losing essential data from the computer.

   
  To better understand this issue, I would like to know the following information:
   
  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?
  2 do you have him comes preinstalled with Windows 8 computer or you have upgraded the Windows 8 of the older operating system such as Windows 7?
  3. you receive an error message when you try to access these files from the Panstoria software?
  4. where these files saved locally on the computer, as well as my safe?
  5 did you cooling system or the system restore?
   

  First of all, I would like to inform you that if you this execution of a cooling system, would not create a Windows.old folder.

  The Windows.Old folder is generated when you perform a customized Windows installation. The files that were used in the earlier version of Windows are stored in the Windows.Old folder.

   
  Perform the refresh of the system: Applications that you have installed Web sites and DVD is deleted. The applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC.
  Follow the article below to know what are the powerful effects of cooling system.
   
  Refer to: refresh your PC without your files
  You can refresh your PC without delete all of your personal files or change your settings.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC
   
  I suggest you look for missing files on your computer, by referring to the article below.

  Search for files in file Explorer
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/search-file-Explorer
  Note: You can search for files in file Explorer using the search box next to the address bar in top right. (Note that my computer has been renamed to this PC in the file Explorer in Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1).

  If you are unable to recover the missing files, I suggest you check once in the trash.

  If you are able to find the files in the trash, I suggest you to restore files from the Recycle Bin.
  My safe also stores the image files.
  Refer to WHAT PEOPLE ON MY safe STORE:
  http://www.myvaultstorage.com/what-is-my-Vault.php
   
  If you are not able to find the files that you have lost the computer I suggest you to contact my Vault to recover lost files.
