Cannot access files after using recovery system (vista)
Recently, I had some problems with the computer and had to consider having a new video put card in and done a system recovery. I saved all the photos, documents, music, etc. on discs and did the work. When I got the computer home, I loaded the discs on the computer and appears on the desktop a shortcut to a system recovery. Unfortuantely, I'm unable to access all of the files. I get an error of media player, my photos, say, I don't have permission to open, my documents will not be open. I am the only user on this computer. I am admin on it. I have no idea how to make files to open and I really need to get them into a large number of them that relates to the work. What should I do?
Hi GypsyMama,
You may need to take ownership of the files, and then try to open them.
I hope this helps.

I restored my system to today to get some photos, but the file did not appear - how recover them - I didn't do a back-up
Hello
"I restored the system to today."
What do you mean by that?
You use the system restore to put the settings of the computer to an earlier Date, doesn't not to hand over to today.
System restore only "puts away" remove photos.
It has nothing to do with the data files.
And if you mean the system recovery to factory (like new) settings, which erases the hard drive clean of everything.
Regardless of how you spent, try this free program to recover:

Windows 7 (new machine, not updated). Autoruns shows this file RDPCLIP. EXE be found at startup. This file is usually located in the System32folder. Unable to restore the system of time earlier because of unspecified missing file (rdpclip.exe?). System seems to be runnuing normally except these two questions. Occasional freezes (once just by renaming the downloads folder). How can I get
new file restored to the version of Windows 7?Note: CLIP.exe is in the System32 directory.
Hi bigdome6984,
If your machine acts as a Terminal Server, i.e. someone else connects to your computer using remote desktop, then rdpclip.exe will be loaded on your computer as part of the functionality of Server Terminal Server.
RDSCLIP is loaded on the computer, allowing other machines to connect via Remote Desktop.
It should be found at the following registry location:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlset\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd\StartupPrograms
Important Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Original title:. Nothing works.
All my .exe files have been removed. as well as system32\rundll32.exe... How can they be retrieved when no file opens and the system restore will not work. I can't install a fixit program or run anything at all.
Safe mode?
Looks like you have a virus/trojan/worm infection pretty good...
Actually, even if you get executables run again - you can be (read as "will be") better off the coast of a new facility. Wipe and install media with your product key and other serial numbers and installation for other products media you own and restore your last recognized reliable backup for your files.

Cannot restore the system image backup in Windows 7
Hello
Im trying to use the recovery process of Win7 system standard Image for the first time and its does not work. I'm recovering the image on my hard C primary, internal to the system drive. I backed up correctly a Win7 system on an external hard drive image. To restore I connect in the Control Panel on my system (still ongoing) and select the advanced option to retrieve my disc image. The process stops then the pc and it restarts automatically. Then he finished "Windows loading files...". "Then I select my keyboard for data entry, click ok. Then the process correctly detects and automatically selects my last image of backup on the external drive system. The next step begins the problem.
The option 'delete existing partitions to reformat the drive... '. "is grayed out and inaccessible. The only other option is: "install the drivers for the drives, you are restoing to... could solve the problem." Also, "insert media for the device and click OK to install the drivers." I have a new HP Pavilion Desktop with Wn7-64 bit and HP has its own recovery on C partition and there is also another unknown partition (to me) it. I was provided the only brackets installtion / have the HP recovery disk and the recovery of Win7 boot floppies that I burned after buying oringal. Therefore, I select the button Install Drivers with no media of installtion and I see the Windows/System32/drivers folder. I can only select one driver at a time, I tried what I thought were the pilots of C - IE disk.sys, partmgr.sys, snapman.sys and tdrpm.sys and all of them return the error msg "specific location contains no information about your hardware." I also tried to use the two recovery discs that I burned, but they resulted in a similarly generic error message.
Drive C is very well so I am at a huge loss as to what the standard restore process of the operationg system image is looking for and why missing drivers for drive C? Can someone please explain what this process needs so I can restore the system image?
Thank you, roggsf
FYI... I was able to recover my Win7 System Image by using the external backup and the ERD of Win7. I am now more confident that backups of the system can be invoked in the event of a disaster.
The process was/is still a bit confusing because it faced the same problems with the possibility of "remove existing divides to reformat the drive" grayed out and inaccessible. And the other option: "install the drivers for the drives, you are restoing to... could solve the problem" is still a mystery to me. However, using the repair disk, I was able to bypass the need to use one of these two options, click Next, and start and finish the process of recovering successfully.
I hope that someone will be examine and solve problems with recovery only the Panel since it is the recommended approach (to a working system). I'm a happy computeree once more. Thanks for the suggestion.

HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers
Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X
which was a replica of C:.) When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?When you request support, please provide the number full name or product model of the HP computer in question.

Virus protection scans and restoring the system
I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop that was purchased in 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had trouble with a browser hijacking, in the form of two executables: b.exe and msa.exe. I deleted them, cleaned my registry with CCleaner upwards, and now I can use my browser again.HOWEVER...
There seems to be something else that hover on my computer. I can't run Spybot - S & D, WinPatrol, or the Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool.
In the case of Spybot, I initially managed to run a scan, but it failed after less than a minute and now any attempt to reopen the program gives me the error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, file, or path. May not permissions to access you the item. »
For WinPatrol, I never received the same error message; I can't open the program.For the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, I was able to extract after downloading and running the scan, but it lasted less than 30 seconds before crashing as Spybot. Now I can't seem to reply to all - no error message or anything.
I have Norton Internet Security 2009 on my computer. It can start and analyze, but is not picking anything up. He has not yet identify b.exe and malicious msa.exe, so there may be something wrong with her as well.
And Yes, before ask you, I have tried to run the scans in Mode safe mode with networking, nothing helps. It will just work.
I also tried restoring the system twice, using two different restore points. My computer tells me that nothing has changed in the system and therefore don't restore; This of course isn't the case since I obviously wasn't having this problem yesterday.
Please, please, please help me!
An infection on your computer, probably a rootkit , look at what you do. When he sees an attempt to run a program of security such as Spybot, he kills the program and how to change the permissions on executable to prevent you to run the program again. The rootkit is probably do other nasty things that you can't see, like sending spam or to join a botnet .
You can run antivirus scanners and removal of rootkit programs available on the Internet and we hope that they can fix it, but the only solution is to reformat the drive and reinstall Windows. That's what I had to do recently, on a computer owned by one of my clients in consultation, who did exactly what you describe. Several analyses of virus and rootkit did not help.
I wish I had a better solution for you. :-(

Several times, even after doing a system recovery, which restores you computer Setup, I would try sometimes to try restoring the system Windows Vista. How in the name of carnations, "system Restore" fail to restore to a chosen restore point and indicates that the system restore has been
unsucessfull even after making a full recovery of the system? I asked Microsoft through some corresponce on this problem. No response from them.
I also believe that when I bought the computer, the windows (OS) v6 was not complete, is why Microsoft had to develop the SP1 and SP2 as a Patch.
Windows 7 may have solved that problem, however. I think that it is totally unprofessional and unethical, especially when you have to pay somewhere between $100-$200 for Windows 7. Also, don't waste your time talking to a microsoft technician, because many of these people are in the Philippines or the India and less you do know. In addition they will charge your card credit $49-59 $ by incident, and the service they provide to solve your problem is not competent. Then you must dispute the charge (s) with your credit card company in order to remove.As for me, my next computer will be a GICA (Apple) or Macbook Pro which has simplified superior of the operating system and
has no problems that any (OS) has with Microsoft. In the meantime, because of the way microsoft conducts its activities until they come out with a "patch".
as an update to windows or what ever:[1] do not use Windows system restore if you have a problem with your system and must go back to an earlier time.
[2] I would suggest that you restart your computer, and when rebooting press and hold F8 until see you highllighted with the cursor options. Move the slider down to "restore your compare to last good configuration ' and press ENTER. (You can also enter the BIOS and do the same thing) and then wait for your computer to restart.
If your like me, because of this problem I reinstall my full operating system, but still once attention - system restore may not work.
[3] do not try and reinstall the system restore .exe - because once again because this will not guarantee that system restore will work.
