• REMOVE UNWANTED WINDOWS. FILES AND OLD DIRECTORY

  Some time previously, I have known a 'Crash' computer and eventually re-instaqlling WINDOWS 7.  The old Windows 7 files were stored on my hard drive as Windows.old.  I have transferred from the files that I needed in the new files in Windows7, but have been unqable to remove the files and old windows.old directory.  I tried the remedies 'online' by using the disk cleanup and change the administrative control of the changes, but nothing seems to work.  More recently, I tried to open the prompt in administrative mode, and again, I was unable to delete the directory of the object or the files and the subfolders.

  When it comes to remove the sub directories, with. and... the monikers, nothing happens, and online tips indicate that I'm not using a syntax of brand.

  If I try to delete the directory or the files or move them to the Recycle Bin, the system advises I need Administrative approval?

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  Thanks for the post.

  When you try to delete the files and folders under the folder Windows.old the message says that you need administrative privileges.

  Method 1:

  If you are the administrator of the computer, then log in with the Admin account and try to delete the folder.

  Method 2:

  You run the prompt in administrator mode. Follow the steps.

  1. Click Start.
  2. Type "cmd" in the search box.
  3. Right-click on command prompt in the list.
  4. Choose "Run as Administrator"

  Method 3:

  You can disable user account control and check if it helps. Check out the link and follow the steps.

  Why Vista WMP can't play .asf files and why MS has not created a fix for this?

  Hi pdaamckechnie,

  The ASF Format (Advanced Systems) is the preferred Windows Media file format. With Windows Media Player, if the appropriate codecs are installed on your computer, you can play audio content, video content, or both, that is compressed with a wide variety of codecs and that is stored in an .asf file.

  You can check the link below for more information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player

• How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

  What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

  I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

  Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

  Thank you all!

  Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

  Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.
