The profile and desktop files disappeared after uninstalling the HP Deskjet software

I uninstalled the HP Deskjet F4500-series software, and now my files and folders disappeared. The only thing showing on my desk is in the trash. Something horrible just happened? If so, how is that possible?

Hey Reba Jo

try a restore of the system before this happened

http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

If necessary do the restore of the system in safe mode

Windows Vista

Using the F8 method:

  1. Restart your computer.
  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Boot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

    The digitized files disappear after that scanning with HP Solution Center update

    Have a HP Officejet Pro L7590 all-in-one.  Under Vista 64-bit.

  • How to stop Wampmanager.exe and easyphp to run after uninstall wampserver

    I've been with wampserver (apache, mysql, and php) for a while now. I needed upgrade of wamp and I am well aware that I need to completely uninstall it before installing the new version, I did. Unfortunately for me, until I installed the new version, after that Setup and it has not worked, I uninstalled, redownloaded, tried again. Finally, verified the wamp forum was packed with complaints about the x 64 version was a corrupted file. So I installed the 32 bit version to use temporarily. The next day, the new version has been released. So I installed and decided to check out the forum before going any further.

    No more complaints about the bugs. Finally, I decided that since the new wampserver has so many bugs, I'd rather stay here. I installed EasyPHP. Then I saw wampmanager.exe (0 2 services performed) in my taskbar properties. so I uninstalled easyphp.

    Long story short, I think that somewhere throughout this frustration, I forgot to stop the server (wampserver) before uninstalling. And Yes, I cleaned my registry of all things wamp after each uninstall.

    Now, when I click on the taskbar properties, I see wampmanager.exe and EasyPHP, but neither are installed. (Wampmanager.exe initially says '0 2 running services', but I was able to reinstall, and then stop the service and uninstall.) Now only says: wampmanager.exe). I tried a system restore, reinstall, uninstall. How can I get these 2 to stop smoking? Help please!

  • How can I change my default save HDD to my FAVORITES and DESKTOP files (I want to always work out laptop for these two files)?

    I travel a lot and always had problems with what files and update my portable media player. Finally, I feel I have the solution and until now it works fine except for two files. I have only about 8 files/important things I work on quite regular, then now, I set up the files on my laptop and managed to get them to be the main 'saved' from my office. In this way, when I go, all I need to do is to make a back-up of EXACTLY what is on my laptop and here I am. [I used to work on my desktop and I must then transfer the files to my laptop when I would need to travel, but inadvertently, is I would like to work on a file on my desktop before I left (but after the transfer) and when I got home from my trip that I would not forget to transfer the portable desktop files but would open and work on a desktop file before realizing that I] did not transfer.  So it would be a nightmare to have to compare each file to copy / paste new entries of the desktop and laptop to get a REAL current, updated file. Now I am working just on the laptop at work, and then on a trip (just have to make backups of a 8 files). My only two problems are that for the life of me, I can't find how to have FAVORITES and save on the laptop instead of the OFFICE desktop computer. Please tell me step by step how I do drive (portable) M be my default save to FAVORITES, and OFFICE to make the perfect solution for my high travels. Thank you

  • Desktop files disappeared

    Hello

    I had folders and files, now all files disappeared, records remain only. Files where 2 photos, 2 .txt files, a shortcut to a Web page and a few other similar stuff.

    I'm not sure what I did to create the problem, I saw the elements disappear I think when I moved an image on the desktop.

    I tried looking for one of the files by using the advanced search (search in files hidden, etc.) and to recycle bin but there is nothing.

  • Auto Deploy, host profile and answer files

    Hello

    I'm busy trying to learn a little more about Auto deploy. I'm trying to figure out what is the best practice when it comes to the part host profiles of the automatic process of deploy. The way I see there are two ways to use host profiles.

    (1) for each host, I create a separate host profile and create necessary deployment rules, one rule per host.

    (2) I create a host profile and only one rule of deployment and then use the response file option to create the unique settings of the host.

    I've set up two option, option 2 seems less reliable while option 1 works every time. So my main question is what is the recommended method to use profiles to host with Auto deploy.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is usually done through your supplied option 2.

    Create a profile from a host of reference and apply this profile to a host or a cluster.  Usually a cluster or however you define your deployment rules.  Update of the personalization of the host, then remove it from maintenance mode.

    Documentation on the profiles of the host.

  • The desktop icons disappeared after installing updates

    Original title: almost all of the icons that I had on my desktop disappeared following updates of today 5/11.  There were 19 updates so I don't know which ones to uninstall. What should I do?

    Using IE9.

    Hi DECantrell,

    Because the problem started after installing Windows updates, you will need to perform a system restore before the updates were installed

    You can try a system restore to a restore point before the updates were installed.

    Note: When you perform the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To run the system restore, you can consult the following link:
