Uninstalled all of the Documents folder - desperately need help

Let me give you some information on this problem.

I started trying to install a PC game on my computer, and it was recommended that I have a place outside of C:/Program Files, because Vista has been having administrative access errors and prevent the game to patch automatically. So, I chose to install it in the Documents, because I have a few other games installed in the Documents for various reasons. Well, by typing the path of the file, I typed the following text:

Games\Documents of C:\Users\the contact

I forgot to also add the folder with the name of the game to the end to give all the files that would be settled in their own folder. Therefore, I checked my Documents folder when I started to try to patch the game, and the game files were sitting just individually in the Documents and not their own folder. Rather than collect all the files and make a folder for them manually, I thought, forget it, I'll just uninstall and reinstall once more then this is a quick installation, this time by adding a folder for the files in the Documents folder. (that is, C:\Users\the boyfriend games\Documents\Europa Universalis III).

So I started to uninstall it, everything worked, not reinstalled, no problem, although I noticed when I tried to install it in the Documents there was no other... strange subfolders. It installed very well and as I started patching the game even once, I went to the Documents, and Documents My horrifying discovery, was empty except for the folder of the game I did.

I realized it happened instantly. When I choose "Uninstall" the game again, he chose to uninstall all the contents of the folder they have been stored in... sense to uninstall all files in 'Documents,' some other games, irreplaceable images and documents from the school.

If you have stuck with me this far, I thank you. My question can be summed up by asking, what can I do to get all the files in the Documents that uninstalled? My basket is empty, but I didn't since this discovery other type of this message. I have not the computer shuts down automatically, installed another thing I understand is crucial in data recovery. Reliable, free software is one that can recover the data for me? I'll have to dig through the Interior edges of my computer files? Please answer as soon as possible and to help me, I lost a lot of irreplaceable data and not just "delete" and "empty trash".

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day.

You've done well not to do anything else on the computer since the discovery of the problem.  Which will maximize the chances of recovering your files.

Download and run a program like Recuva file recovery.

  • Links to the Documents folder suddenly broken?

    So I had learned about my computer to play a favorite game and was astounded to see that all of my saved games disappeared suddenly! After exploring a bit I found something even more weird - the link in the start menu in the Documents folder suddenly didn't work.

    After having studied more, I realized the two were linked - the files of game themselves had not been deleted - they were stored in a folder in the My Documents folder, the computer can see somehow is more (unless I went directly to her).

    How can I get my computer to correctly bind to My Documents folder again, please?

    See if this has something to do with it...

    Right click on the Start button > properties > start menu tab > customize > Scroll to Documents...
    A blue dot should be on the screen as a link. If this is not the case, do.

  • I desperately need help.  I get the message error message when visiitng my URL on mobile device!

    Hi all

    I desperately need help.

    When visiting my website on a mobile device this message, ('some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear the cache of the browser, and then try again. If the problem persists please contact author Web site. »)


    I talked to my hosting company and they say it's to do with the script and this must be changed. They gave me a link to a Web site with instructions. CodingForums.com as with most people using Muse the reason we use it is because there is no need to use the code. I don't really have no where to start with this.


    Y at - there anyone out there that can help me. My URL is entertainment - isle.com


    Thank you

    Who is your hosting provider?

    Clearly your webhost changes the files that are served. If you go to http://entertainment-isle.com/phone (or http://entertainment-isle.com/tablet) in a browser desktop all the files of the phone (or tablet site files) site are well served and the site works properly. However, if you go to the same URL using a mobile device files that are served are different. I suspect that your webhost think they do you a favor, and they have a code side server that modifies the files being served when they go to a mobile device, with result a site broken. Chances are it is something you, or they, can turn off to your site.

    If you provide the name of your hosting provider, we are able to collect information on their website how (and why) they want to change the files that are served and how to disable this "feature".

    > How this company may have the same problem since 65 years?
    Nice and funny statement. Really funny. I don't me remember more that this computer has developed there is 65years :D

    First of all, it would be really useful if post you a few details on your OS and your laptop model

    Secondly, I have read similar questions might appear if you accidentally touch the surface of the touchpad while typing. That is why it s advisable to disable the touch pad using the FN + F9 key and to check if this problem still persists.

    Last but not Lea check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. If this isn't the case, then update it!

    Good bye
