How can I access all my backup files to their previous location.
If the first disk is corrupted, then all bets are open. We could try to use IsoBuster: http://download.cnet.com/IsoBuster/3000-2248_4-10208087.html
to see all that is corrupt. It could be a simple file. Hope the DVD was not a RW, they can cause this kind of thing.

[AIR] File not found MAC OS but works in Windows
Hi all
I have a htmlFolder in my 'src' that contains html files. "What I do is, that, when running, I return the HTML of the file in < mx:HTML id ="htmlView"> using the following code.
htmlView.location = "" app:/htmlFolder/sub-folder/fileName.html"";
Problem->
It works fine in windows, but not running MAC OS. Probably because windows uses the folder structure, not sure on MAC OS, but I guess that settles into a single file that contains subfolders that are hidden from the user. Anyone know a solution for it?
Thank you and best regards,
Ahmed.
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("htmlFolder/sub-folder/fileName.html"); htmlView.location = file.url;

The printer does not work with windows 7
Just bought a Samsung R480 today and discovered that my existing printer is not compatible with it. The Setup disk only works with Windows XP and Vista. Samsung R480 running Windows 7 at the moment. I was also considering changing my desktop computer for Windows 7 as well.
So my question is, is it possible to request an another HP installation cd that is compatible with Windows 7? Or I have to buy a new printer that is compatible with Windows 7?
Thank you!
The link below should show the selection of OS for the drivers of J4680c. just click on what version of Windows 7 you have (32-bit or 64-bit), then download it the driver full of features.

Import of Outlook Exp 6 in Windows Mail (Vista) mail backup files
I have a mail file Outlook Express 6 backup, I am trying to import into Windows Mail. I can open the dbx files but not, of course, to open them. I followed faithfully all the import steps, checked to make sure that all the files in the folder are readable (even copied to a new location to check). All the import steps seem to work fine, folders (Inbox), sent, etc. come in the form of files imported as it should-, but with none of the messages!
I read many messages of help about it in various forums. Obviously there is something that I always hurt, but I'm at my wit's end. Any help will be appreciated.
Hi Michael in Atl,
Good to know you have a fix for the problem. This will certainly help other users.

I just installed DW 13.2. Linked files (all CSS, scripts...) "are not on the local disk" - all works in CS6. Help...
When I insert one of the page of the Web site, it shows in the design window. But when I try to bring any document linked in the left window, code, it is empty and the message says: "whatever.css is not on the local drive. Also, when I click on LIVE, the file looks like she does not see the file CSS, no images.
The same site looks and works OK in the DW CS6.
I'm on Maverick - 2012 Mac Pro - 2 x 2.66 12-core, 64 GB of RAM.
I configured the same way as CS6 preferences. Same location of the site, same links.
Am I missing something? What should I do? I uninstalled the DW CC, cleaned pref and installed it again. Same question.
Help, please.
I think, I solved the problem, but I still think that the Dreamweaver does not recognize the addresses.
I then drive CC_A BB_A Web sites (these are the actual names of the readers). It's always the disk 'data', apart from the OS, but with a different name. everything works. Opening files referred to in the script window, 'live' works as supposed.
I can only speculate that readers 'CC_A' name has confused the program called CC.
I can find no other explanation, since, in addition to the name of the drive - everything else is the same.
Thanks for trying to help.

If I upgrade to win 7 I will lose data stored vista files?
can anyone help? If I update to windows 7 I will lose data stored. That is, movies, music
An upgrade maintains your files, a custom installation does not work. It's a good idea to back up your files before upgrading to Windows 7.
Back up all your files and settings to avoid losing documents, photos and other information. Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool to copy files (not programs) from your PC and then transfer back after installation of Windows 7. If you don't want to use Windows Easy Transfer, you can copy your files to a Flash DRIVE or CD/DVD. Note: The easy transfer will not work when changing languages, or when moving from 64 bit to 32 bit (it will work ranging from 32-bit to 64-bit).
How to upgrade:
If you have Vista:
Update: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7
New installation: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/upgrading-from-windows-vista-to-windows-7-custom
Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:Back up any files and settings you want to keep
Install Windows 7
Reinstall all your files
Reinstall all the programs you want to use.
These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

Vista SP2 installed, now AutoSave does not work
Since I installed Vista 32 bit SP2 the scheduled file backup fails. I get an error message a snapshot could not be established, and a suggestion to try again or change the settings, but nothing works.
Hi Gak44,
Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.
I need additional information in order to help you best.
1. have you checked if you have reasonable space to create a backup?
2. you receive an error with the error code (If Yes, specify)?
3. do you also use some 3 part backup software?
You can try the following article on the error message when you use Windows Vista: "an unauthorized change was made to your license".
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/931699
You can also try to configure your machine in order to boot and see if the problem is resolved. You can follow the given article:

Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know.
Thank you & best regards

My question relates to the use of Windows Vista Edition backup Home Premium 32-bit
I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit backup to create a backup on an external hard drive files. the disk is almost full, I noticed the backup appears to create a new set of files each time that it will consume a considerable amount of space. Is it safe to delete old files to free up disk space as current backup do not complete due to lack of space. I don't want to lose all the essential files in the erase process.
Yes, you can delete the old files, because they are not needed when the new backup is created.
My suggestion is to set up a backup incremental and will ovewrite the old backups so that you don't have to delete old backups. -
