• "Reactivate" a former user account after reinstall OS?

  My PC Windows XP has a Blue Screen of Death. 'Page Fault' suggests a hardware problem, so I brought a repairman. They finally diagnosed a problem with my second HD internal (like D:, E:, the DVD player). However, in doing so, they thought it would help to reinstall the operating system. They have created a new user account called "owner"; now, my old user account, "My Name", is therefore more accessible. I see the 'Documents and Settings' folder, and there all the files before reinstalling the OS, but still create a new user account with this name does not access this folder; It creates a new user account with the name of the computer added to 'My Name' and an empty account. How "reactivate" my old account, "My Name", to restore all its parameters, hopefully including record of applications, etc. ? Thank you.

• How to restore user account missing when the connection after that power outage occurred?

  Windows XP Media Center edition PC was carried out at the time of the power failure, which lasted about 2 hours.  When turned back on, it was missing the user account on the XP login screen.  However, after logging another user, all the files seem to be present, but the system restore will return to another point, and the same username cannot be recreated (it says it is already used).  How can the user be restored?  Thank you!

  I fixed it!  I copied a solution to another user in the forum:

  1. click on the Start button.
  2. go to control panel and choose switch to Classic view (if not to this point of view).

• How reinstall individual programs and users accounts after recovery of Windows 7?

  Hello

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium. I have problems, have tried all the options and want to do a recovery system of the C: drive as a last resort before taking the computer home.

  I used the Backup and Restore to back up my C: drive as a whole (including the image of the system in case where something goes wrong) on an external drive, but I've never used, backup and restore. I'm not sure if she actually re - installed programs or just moves them. I don't have a disk for my suite Office 2007 so I can't reinstall it it will be lost (unless I used the image of the system, of course).

  Can you tell me if yes or no backup and restore will actually reinstall Office, and if so, how do I do?

  Also, I have 2 user accounts on the computer. Can back up and restore reinstall all the accounts of individual users?

  Thank you for your time.

  The new computer will come with Windows (for example, Win10) preinstalled?

  Remarks/comments:

  • A restore an image.
  • An image created on the computer may not be fully compatible with computer B A.
  • The only way to do a clean install of an application is using the original installation media (unless the application is preinstalled on the computer in question).

• Cannot use my old firefox sync account after reinstalling

  After reinstalling firefox I can't use my old Firefox Sync account. I am told that there is no such account here https://accounts.firefox.com and I created a new account with the same email as my old account.

  After some research, I found this https://account.services.mozilla.com/ which I can connect with my old account.

  Now, my problem is that I want to retrieve the information I had in my old sync and I can't find a way to do it.

  In addition, because I lived the problems of severe performance using firefox, I deleted some files in my machine with Firefox (after uninstalling) including what appeared to be the location of the profile for firefox.

  What is really important to me is: how to recover my old Firefox Sync account data or synchronize it with the new Mozilla account?

  Thank you
  V

  Hello, firefox 29 and up is using a different synchronization system which is not compatible with the establishment of accounts in the old versions.

  in this case, you'd probably have to use a workaround and download the version of firefox before 28, turn off the automatic update for the moment (in options > advanced > update), bind it to the old sync account (with user name, password & recovery key) and upgraded after you successfully restore your data in this way...

  Install an older version of Firefox
  Synchronize your bookmarks Firefox, history, passwords, etc.

• lost user account after using the windows recovery disk.

  Help, please. I turned on my computer and found that windows vista could not start due to a currupt file.

  I have tried rebooting several times without success and ended by using the samsung recovery disc to get windows vista to work.

  I had to create a new user account and have been able to find my original account on the C drive but don't know how to restore it so I don't have start with a new account from scratch.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Information, the original version of windows is now called windows.old and it is here that I want to use the user account.

  Hi Geek teenager,

  Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?

  Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, download, etc.

  You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.

  Set up a new account.

• How can I recover my data of user account after a Hadsruda! Bit Trojan horse destroyed a little bit it?

  So I recently discovered a hadsruda! little Trojan on my laptop. I have it removed but I was too late. The virus has corrupted somehow my user account and I can access is no longer any data associated with this account. It's mostly because my account that was destroyed was the only administrator account on my laptop (there is another standard user, but I can't access or do something about it).

  Is there a way to retrieve the data from this account? I see that it's there when I'm looking for specific files, but when I try to open the location of the file, it gives a message that the location does not exist. The data are still too much space on my hard drive so I guess that it is not completely lost. Help would be very appreciated.

  As it can be user accounts data has been corrupted, or the system files, which results in the account being unusable, you can try to repair corrupted data or system files and see if you can access the account again later.

  To perform an action of repair on possible corrupt system files, follow these steps:

  1: Make sure that the computer is connected to the internet. If you can not access the Wifi connections, plug in ethernet cable.

  2: run a commandprompt, to write and run this command: sfc/scannow

  Let it finish, then restart your computer.

  How you can run this command on command prompt (start > run > "cmd" or start > search for cmd) depends on how accessible your OS windows is still, for example you can always use the other user account?

  If not, maybe try to run the sfc/scannow command by using the safe mode (see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 for instructions) commandprompt from there, like safe mode can still be able to boot. If you use the SafeMode however, verify that you use the additional option to "Safe Mode with command prompt" instead of regular safe mode.

  These steps can recover your user account to the service. If those who do not resolve it, you cannot run or you're just looking for files / important data recovery, try using a recovery software tool or boot-level file Explorer. It may be in the form of a disk or CD containing the software to explore all the files from hard drive, so you can move or copy them to the user account or the Windows installation corrupted.

  I always use 1 multifunctional tool to do this called Hiren Boot CD, this software package contains a lot of explorers of disk or file. Tie just a backup drive or media to your PC, burn this CD Hiren after downloading http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ and then choose a (temporary) boot option or a CD at startup, and before the Windows logo comes. You will see tools contained on the boot CD, in the categories; Use either to programs back, drive hard/storage, backup, restore to find a file Explorer/mover in there and run.

• How to activate an autolog wide for my user accounts after a preset time of inactivity has been reached? Windows 7 64 bit

  Hello all and thanks in advance.  I have a win7 64 bit with multiple user accounts. (children)  I would like to activate some sort of device of Automatic logoff when someone leaves the machine and it was inactive for a set period.

  Edit: Thanks for the replies parental control however does not funtion that I'm looking.  I need an Auto Disconnect feature true regardless of user account.  When the computer is left idle with someone connected, that I would like the Pc auto disconnects this person after having reached a predetermined duration.

  This is done very simply. Simply go to your settings box screensaver (in "personalization" in the control panel), select a screen saver if you have not already, choose how long you want to wait and next to that is a check box beside the words, "on resume, display logon." Check it out. Once the screen saver comes up then when move you your mouse or whatever you (or your children) must enter the password to log on. If they don't know the password they have to ask you to leave.

• Problem with the files of user account after cloning a HD to SSD

  I cloned my HD to my new SSD and everything worked fine.  So, based on advice from experts online, I tried to move some of my HD user account folders (my pictures, My Documents, etc.).  So I created a new folder on my HDD called Brad Data.  I then went in the folder my pictures on users\Brad on my SSD, selected properties-map and told to move into the new folder on my hard drive.  The files transferred properly.  Then I went to my HD and could no longer see the file Data of Brad.  I saw my pictures.  Strange.  Then I tried to create a new Brad Data folder and he asked me if I wanted to merge with the existing one.  What?  So I transferred the folder my pictures to my SSD under users\Brad.  OMG.  Now I have more a user folder of Brad.  I have a folder my pictures that contains all the files that were Brad.  It's crazy.  I can it unscrew somehow or I need to reclone and start over?

  Hi Luna, it will work even under your C:\Users\Username folder.  You do not have something wrong, it's just that the icons you see under "This PC" are shortcuts to the same places, but you cannot add additional of your choice under "This PC" ones as you can do in the users folder.

• Problems of access to the files of user account after the change of password

  I forgot the password of a user rarely used account, so I changed the password as an administrator.

  I can now get access to the account, but the only problem is that all files seem to be empty.

  Is it possible that I can get access to the original files?

  Hi Carol and John Winter,

  1. What are the files you are trying to access?
  2. how exactly you are trying to access these files?
  3 is confined to a specific folder?
   
  Check what is the file size by following the steps mentioned below:
  1. right click on the folder and click Properties.
  2. check if the file size is 0, if it is 0, this means that the folder is empty.
   
  It can also be a problem with permissions.
   
  Check out the following link and check.
  What are the permissions?

  Hope this information helps.

• in the right user account after the connection in the task bar icon flashes "windows need your permission to continue".

  I got a virus in my Vista computer cse.exe the so-called fake-AntiVirus. He has changed the file association for exe files. I fixed it and and deleted the program as well as its footprint in the registry. The virus attacks when I was in a non-administrative account. Therefore, any changes made to the registry were in the CURRENT_USER section.
  Still a problem. If I connect as User1 [non-admin] before any other action is taken, I see a tab flashing in the taskbar. It says "Windows needs your permission to continue". If I try to remove it the Explorer window dies and I get a clean screen with wallpaper and I have to restart. Of course if I provided the 'root' password every thing seems OK. I tried to identify any processes that can ask something looking at the tables Task Manager but don't see anything suspicious. If I do not touch the flashing tab I open the other Wndows Explorer since the icons I have on the desktop and NOT additional UAC asks pop up. The computer so that these experiences if offline. There is an another non administrator account on this computer. If I connect you no problem can be observed. Everything happens only in the account where the virus attacked.
  Any idea? Can I find out what program is doing admin type of request?
  Victor

  Hi Victor,

  
  How to remove the virus from the computer?
  I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
  
  Method 1: Scan your computer with Microsoft Safety scanner for viruses and check if that helps.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  
  Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
   
  Method 2: Run check file system (CFS) analyses and checks to see if it helps.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
  
  Note: SFC system gives an administrator the ability to scan the files all protected to check their versions. If the System File Checker detects that a protected file has been replaced, it retrieves the correct version of the file in the folder cache (% Systemroot%\System32\Dllcache) or the Windows installation source files and then replaces the incorrect file. System File Checker verifies and repopulates the cache folder also. You must be logged in as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to run the System File Checker. If the cache folder is damaged or unusable, you can use the sfc/scannow, sfc /scanonce or commands sfc /scanboot to repair its contents.
   
  Method 3: To fix an account corrupted, please follow the steps in the link and check if that helps.
  Difficulty of a corrupted user profile
   
  Method 4: To find out which program makes admin request type, check Event Viewer and check if that helps.
