• Lack of folders/files-System Restore - more missing files/folders

  Hello!

  I would appreciate help to find my files and folders missing if possible.

  I am running windows Vista version 6.0, service Pack2.

  I started windows and noticed that 5 of my office files are missing, and all files contained in. A search for the names of document and file returned nothing (even with advanced search options). One of the missing records was called "term 1". I created a new folder and tried to change the name in term 1. A popup told me this (office) file contained already a folder named "term 1" - I wanted to merge these files? I was puzzled, because I could see is no longer the original record of the term 1. I clicked 'Yes' in the hope that a merger would result in a visible folder 1 term, but now two records have disappeared. After some intensive research, I couldn't find the files/folders that were missing. I must point out that not all the files/folders disappeared.

  I restored my computer to a previous checkpoint (since 2 days after a windows update). After the reboot, I got a message that the restore has failed. I remembered that this can occur because of an AV, so I disabled Norton. At this point, all of my files and folders Office disappeared, apart from the default windows desktop icons. A search gave no results. I tried to cancel the restoration, which has been a success, but none of the files/folders not returned. I then tried to do a restore to a control point from before the update of windows. This succeeded, but more folders/files have disappeared. Ouch. I can still access those appearing in the Panel of my 'recent articles', but when I try re - record, I get a warning of "the file is read-only / Normal doc.

  What have I done? Can we do anything to restore my files? Curiously, a few random documents and most of the settings are still intact. I noticed that my quick launch buttons are gone if it means something.

  Any help/direction would be wonderful.

  Thanks in advance,

  Meegss

  SOLVED! It was the question. Thank you.

• Need to find %SystemRoot%\WinSxS\folder_name to find missing the module system restore service

  My ability to do a system restore is zilch.

  It turns out that my laptop Win 8.1 is unable to run sys restore due to the service being missing module.

  And I have to work around that and implement a registry key to make a correction.

  I have no idea where the file % SystemRoot%\WinSxS\folder_name.

  All this to fix the error 126 in services.msc

  I had many times where a reinstall of my computer would do the trick - however, I don't want to lose everything.

  System Restore is a feature that I use, and it works at all.  Pretty disappointing - it's always something.

  Any comments would be appreciated.

• System restored automatically after the installation of updates & a few missing desktop icons.

  Original title: same set of updates on both computers due to different problems, one problem being a system restore.

  I have two Windows 7 computers in my house.  They all have two problems after installing updates a month ago.  The problem for 'Computer 1' is a bigger problem than the problem of the "Computer 2".  2 computer problem not really seems to be a problem now, but I'll give you the information for comparison purposes. Sorry for the length of this post - I am trying to be thorough.

  1 COMPUTER DETAILS:

  News of the computer: Dell Studio 1745 laptop computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, six months at the time of the problem, now age of seven months. It came with Norton pre-installed, never used and uninstalled.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Background: set up with a single account (Administrator, of course) and after a few days of putting in place computer, said ale user account for everyday use.  Computer is configured to warn me before downloading/installation of updates of Windows, with permission for each type of account to install Windows updates.

  While in the standard account, I welcomed these download/install updates and was prompted to restart the computer.  I was done with the computer, so I just closed instead of restart.  According to "Your update history Review", it's updates and they were all successful:

  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB980846)
  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)
  Update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB982519)
  Update Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 for x 64 systems (KB982526)
  Cumulative update for Media Center for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB981078)

  After you turn on computer back, everything seemed normal.  I opened Firefox and I got a notice that Firefox has an update is available, a standard user cannot.  Unlike some programs, there is no popup to sign as an administrator, so I went to start > switch user and signed as an administrator.  (There was no update of Firefox at this point - just a switch single user.) That's where the problem appeared: instead of normally load the admin Office, I had to wait while Windows configured my desk (it's new)... wait... wait... wait... wait... BAM!  Your computer has been successfully restored * insert date here * (I don't remember what it was - January of this year, perhaps - because I was so incredulous that it happened and I continued to watch the game "successfully restored").  I do not have the computer to eat, and it don't has not asked me if I wanted to restore it.  He just did, just on its own initiative, when I went on the admin account.  A bunch of shortcut icons are missing from the Office of the admin acct and the ACCT. standard, and wallpaper to the admin account has been changed.  I am not absolutely sure if nothing else was touched.

  I have searched online to try to understand why it happened, and I remember well from my only find, is that if I went to the restoration of the system, there will be an option to cancel it, but I don't see such an option. So I told the computer to eat on a few days to a week before that updates.  It doesn't seem to help.  Shortcut icons are still missing.  Looked at the update history and it shows the five latest updates as being installed successfully, but Windows Update tells me that I need to these five updates AND this time, the little check marks are only already there on four of the five updates listed.  (The first time, the little checkmarks were already there for all five.)  This is the update that is NOT now pre-checked:

  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile for Windows 7 x 64-based Systems (KB982670)

  Do not reinstall the five updates.  I don't know if I should jump install them again, or if I should install only the
  now, four are already "pre-checked."  I'm very hesitant to install KB982670, because this update seems to be the likely cause of the problem given the fact that it is already pré-coché in the Windows and the following information updates for computer 2.

  Since I installed the latest updates for 1 computer with no apparent problems:

  X 64-July Windows malicious software removal tool (KB890830) 2010
  Update security for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2032276)

  NEWS ON COMPUTER 2:

  The computer news: Systemax desktop running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, a month at the time of the problem, now age of two months.  It has not come with any pre-installed antivirus.  Trend Micro Internet Security installed at the beginning of the use of the computer.  Analyses Micro trend came clean.

  Reminder: Set up immediately with an admin account and a standard account for everyday use.  Computer has been set to automatically download and install updates for Windows, but is about to inform me first.

  At the time of the problem above with the laptop, desktop computer has been enabled.  As all loading,.
  an error message came that there was some kind of issue with the .NET framework.  At another person asked if he knew what was up with that, and it didn't.  Did not note the specific message, thinking he would tell me again if there was a real problem.  I thought it could have been some kind of Windows hiccups when starting the computer, not even knowing about update problems.  I have yet to see this message.  After the number of laptop (computer 1), I took a peek at the desktop computer (computer 2) to check that Windows Update and I saw that an update is available, which is the referenced above same update that the notebook had already the check mark in its box (KB982670), which gives me the choice to check the little to install it.  Very curious, since, as already mentioned, the computer has been configured to automatically download and install Windows updates.  Looked at the update history, and it has already downloaded and installed the other four updates that the laptop has been.  Changed the automatic Windows Update setting to warn me before you download and install updates.  I have not installed the missing update.  Said the only other person in the House who would probably bother install updates to not install it.

  A month later, 2 computer has a notification from Windows update that 21 or 22 updates are available (as a result, by clicking on the icon of the trial of Microsoft Office).  The update not installed a month ago is no longer on the list, and update history shows as having been installed a few days before, apparently because someone else in the House must have thought it looked like a good idea.  I installed all the 'important' updates and have not seen any more problems with computer 2.

  BACK TO THE COMPUTER 1:

  Yes, is there anyone with ideas on how to get 1 computer back to its state before the 5 updates listed above, and what to do about to reinstall some or all of them, I hope, without more problems, for example a random food system does not happen?  I have a feeling I will say that the random system restoration do not occur, but he did.

  Thanks for any help.

• System Restore won't work, drives available: HP (C :) (Missing)?) Left click on the mouse also stops randomly works, works fine in safe mode.

  My computer is upward, slow-running and my mouse will just randomly stop left click. I can switch the service so click right not left click function, but then cannot do the right click function. I had created a restore point before installing a program called Cain and Abel on my computer and it was just a couple of days.

  When I tried to do a restore, I got a message saying I needed turn the system restore. Then my computer froze so I restarted it and selected "System Recovery" and tried to do a restore to the point that I had created before that Cain has been installed. I got a message saying that the restoration has failed then I restarted mode without failure. When I restarted in safe mode, both left and right click was working again but I got a message saying that something has been altered (I didn't write it down so you do not know what it was). He says to run CHKDSK, which I did and then the computer seemed to work again.

  This is temporary, I lost my left click again and now have swung it for do the right click, left click is supposed to do, but really need to be able to do both types of clicks.

  I go in to the restoration of the system, and it says I need to turn it on. When I go into system properties to turn on, the disc I want to activate to says "HP (C :) (Missing)) ' what this means and how do I do the restore point I have created 2 days ago from work?

  keimanzero,

  Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
  First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
  NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

  Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
  Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

  Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
  2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
     If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

  If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.

  I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

  When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

  This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

• Windows XP SP3, corrupted registry. Corrupt / missing windows system32\config\system - restore via Recovery Console cannot copy files of origin of the system32 folder. Please help.

  When my husband's computer was incorrectly stop we met the ' Windows XP didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "error message. I understand that the registry is written on the judgment and that it is not rare that the registry damaged during the power failure or abnormal stop. Checking the bandages for details on how to proceed, and begin the process of recovery appearing in theArticle ID: 307545 of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545/en-us below:

  «First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the folder System32\Config.» When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

  The full, first part, follow these steps:

  1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
     Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
  2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
     MD tmp
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
     copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
     Copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak.

  There was no administrator password prompt, but the console began without incident. I was unable to copy these files to a folder. (Yes, I checked my spelling and made certain that the commands, parameters and syntax are accurate.) I created another directory and tested the console by copying the files to repair to the secondary directory. These copied without any errors. I was able to discern that there are no problems with the console itself.  At this point, I'm not sure how to proceed.  There is data that has not yet been backed up and must be recovered where it is suggested to do a new/factory install. Therefore, I need to know if there is another way to proceed to the recovery or if I do a fresh install. In addition, any suggestions on its disk data recovery, if the new installation is the only way to move forward, also would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Just to be clear, when you have tried, for example, to run this command:

  copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak

  You have an error message (please report it to full) or maybe nothing happened.

  But you did another directory (say 'c:\windows\otherdir') managed by running the following command:

  Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\otherdir\system

  If this is the situation in which you are in, you are essentially impossible to create a backup copy of the current registry damaged.  This is not the end of the world, because as you can see by reading the full article, you never use these files master anyway.  This step is just included "on the side of caution" so that you can restore the original registry files, corrupted, if for some reason you wanted to.

  Because you cannot start the system anyway, you might as well begin the process described in the article without creating these master files.

  You can either make the step remove first:

  delete c:\windows\system32\config\system

  or just try to copy the files in the directory of repair on the files in the \system32\config directory and answer 'Yes' when asked if you want to replace the existing file.

  Note that the success of this procedure assumes that you run the system restore.  Otherwise, you'll find yourself with the registry as there was when Windows installation - which certainly won't be compatible with the State of your machine today.

  Essentially, what you are doing are the following:

  1. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry to its state when you first installed Windows.  This allows you to start Windows - but do not try to use any application program.

  2. in Windows, copy of the registry that is saved in a recent restore Point to a location that are accessible by the Recovery Console - but not by using the restore application from the system itself, because with the 'original' registry, System Restore is not aware of these restore points.

  3. While in the Recovery Console, restore the registry using the files you made available at step 2.

  I don't really know what's the point of the stage of section 4, unless it is to use system restore to restore to a different restore point.

  If you can't make things work by following the steps above, or if there is no recent restore points to use in step 2, then you are correct: you must backup your data, do a clean reinstall of Windows, then reinstall your applications with original media and restore your data from backup.

  If you are able to do step 1 and start Windows with its original register, you should be able to use the native Windows tools to backup your data.  I would not use NTBackup, but rather just copy (do not use the 'move' command) data on an external hard drive.  Alternately, you could boot from a live CD of Linux (for example, Knoppix) to access your drive and copy the data.  Or if you have a bootable CD from a like Acronis Disk Imaging application, you can use it.  If you would like more information in this sense, after return.

• All Documents and the missing photos after a system restore, what happened, and how can I recover my files?

  Hello
  All of my documents and photos are missing after a system restore. Here's the story. A virus called "Windows Recovery" popped up earlier and I did a system restore to get rid of him. To restart the computer, all my files and photos were missing. I used the system restore in the past in similar situations and have never had any problems. I opened MS Office, and I found some documents in the recent documents list. They open up fine and I saved them, but is only some of the documents. I can find the files in my documents when I do a search on them, but they are empty, when I open them.

I ran system restore to try to solve the problem, but after he reformatted the hard drive, it bluescreened so now it's saying "BootMGR is Missing". my computer did not come with restore disks, so I borrowed one from a friend and he told me that there is no OS and it can't fix the Restorer of the system. Help, please

  Hello

  Looks like you may have a hardware problem

  and if the recovery process back to factory settings vista does not work, you will need to contact the computer manufacturer

  It's their recovery process not microsofts

  read this and try this 1st

  You can't just borrow anybodys vista recovery disk

  manufacturer's recovery disks are the brand and the specific model

  for HP, press F11 at startup to start the recovery process

  or contact HP and ask them to send you in vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
