Try to restore an older version of a word document.

I accidentally replaced a Word document existing "save under" I would like try to restore a more early saved version of the file.  Is this possible?

If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if it does not help then the chances of recovery are very slim - but you can try the other options if you want to)

http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

For any other questions about the word, please post to the Discussion of the Office group at: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.docmanagement&lang=en&cr=US where the word experts will be more than happy to help you with your problem.

I hope this helps.

  • Premiere pro sent restores to older versions of media encoder

    So my job just improved our CC in the 2015 version, but unfortunately our work does not include the latest version of the media encoder in the upgrade. I tried to get them to install them, but for some reason, they are not allowed to.

    in any case, I was wondering if there was a way that you can send the sequence you export over an older version of Media encoding. Because whenever I try to, I get a prompt that displays "you have no Media encode 2015 installed.

    If there is no fix for this I would really appreciate it.

    More information. I did all the updates to ensure it wasn't a bug. Just literally have only the version of the app thanks!

    Due to compatibility and changes, you will need to have the same version of first and SOUL. Please inform your work it is a requirement.

  • How can I install an older version of Aperture?

    Hi all

    I use a MacBook Pro mid-2010.

    For some time it has been my main work laptop and I was always updated to the latest versions of OS X.

    My hobby is photography so in 2012, I also bought Aperture and I also kept up to date.

    However, after upgrade to OS X El Capitan (10.11 I think) my laptop performance gradually declined and he became very slow. I also bought a new laptop and my Mac has become my second laptop.

    I decided to go back to the roots and install OS X Lion on it (10.7.5).

    However when I try to download and install the latest version of the opening (3.6), I get an error message that OS X 10.10 is necessary...

    Can someone tell me how can I find and install an older version of Aperture (for example the 3.4.5 which I think is the last version that supports the 10.7 Lion)?

    Thank you!

    You still have the original installer DVD for Aperture?

    You need a full installer for Aperture 3. If you bought version Aperture box with a serial number, use this DVD.  Then update to this version of the opening page of Apple Aperture download 3.4.5 update 3.4.5

    There is no way to download a complete Installer for Apple Aperture, because the opening is is sold and implemented to the point. The only that downloadable version is 3.6 since the AppStore opening, if you already updated to this version of the AppStore. Then you can reinstall 3.6 of the opening of the history of your purchases (fourth tab from the AppStore). Download page for Apple on the supprt page has only updated for the opening, but not full installers.

    If you do not have a separate installation program use your Time Machine backups and go back as I have the time of your days of Lion, if the backup history is going well. Restore an older version of the opening of the Applications folder. New versions of opening 3.3 is self contained and you can simply copy them into the Applications folder.

    Hi florane

    Have you been able to sync with WMP11 before? This problem only started recently?

    Try these steps and check:

    1 check out the iRiver firmware updates site - they have made updates to H10 for example when WMP11 is out:

    http://www.iriver.com/HTML/support/download/sudw_list.asp?searchProductIdx=73

    2. also delete sync in WMP relationship - plug in the appliance, if it is set to auto-sync: plug it in, go to synchronize, click on the small arrow below, and then choose the iRiver and the 'end sync partnership.

    3. then go to the Control Panel, Device Manager, see if the camera is there, and then uninstall it. Disconnect and reconnect the iRiver, which should refresh the device and restart WMP to see if it works better.

     

    4 also a device for synchronization in the Windows installation Media Player

  • DirectX 11 problems when you try to play some computer games - need to replace it with an older version?

    Running Win7 x 64 home.

    I have multiple problems of game about Dx11.
    EverQuest Games Inc., World of Warcraft, Doom3, Farcry, Alien Vs Predator 2 (former), Counterstrike and a crowd of older games!
    I read the other messages and responses (those who responded, I noticed a large number of messages without response on this topic too)
    All the responses suggest that it is a hardware problem or win7 compatibility... This isn't the case, I know exactly what the question! its Dx11 causing these problems!
    With respect, that I don't have 20 questions about what errors im getting, im of hardware running, which grows with the im... They ALL find out 100%, all I want to do is go back to an older version of directx 9 c preference!
    I know that this is the problem I checked the logs of the accident and took notes, errors, and they are the same for the same problem, I got on a Vista machine, which resolved when I restored to before the service pack!
    I tried to use the web installer in accordance with another similar position and it will not be installed because I get the message "you have a newer version already installed etc.."
    I also tried to change the compatibility to the game settings but this obviously does not work either because he still uses Dx11.

  • iTunes downloads 12.2.2 iOS9.1 when you try to restore the iPhone with iOS9.3.1

    I have the Macbook Air with 10.7.5, iTunes 12.2.2.25 and iPhone 4S iOS9.3.1

    When I try to restore my iPhone, iTunes downloads iOS9.1 and fail to restore after awhile.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.
