Vista has Gone Mad? No Admin Tools, the files are empty, don't know where to start - please help me
I don't know if the content of files is empty or if files have been renamed. I ran the Windows Fixit but still no Admin Tools and Recycle bin is not fair. I have no idea of what all is not good. I can't defragment because there is nothing in the system folder. I can't restore it.
Not a dummy either computer but not a tech genius. I have the software OS but try to avoid it if possible. Do not know how it got in its current state...
I'm not in love with my PC but I do what I can to work for now. I hate Vista!
My system:
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium Service Pack 2
Manuf. - gateway
Model: DX4200-09
: Processor AMD Phenom (tm) 9150e Quad Core 1.80 GHz
Memory: (RAM): 4.0 GB
System type: 64-bit OS
Thanks in advance

Have you been using a registry cleaner that has run amok?
It is always sensible in this situation to achieve a malware check
Start the computer in safe mode with network and download and install Malwarebytes (free version for individuals only), updated definitions and run in safe mode. Disable other security software while you do the analyses.

I am trying to open a file in Pages 09 and am getting notice has the required index.xml file is missing. Is it possible for me to access the file? I don't know why this happened.
You open a file with Pages ' 09 Pages 5.x.
You need to right-click on the file and open it with Pages 5.x (the one with the orange document icon).

I scanned a document and he went to the Clipboard, but I don't know where to find it now
Hello garyballan,
If you have restarted your PC from your document that you lost and you will need to restart the analysis that you have scanned. The simplest option is to do the following:
1. open Paint (start > all programs > Accessories > Paint)
2. once the paint is open, click file on the top toolbar.
3 in the drop-down list, click from scanner or camera.
4. the application of paint now trying to connect to your printer/Scanner.
5. once the printer/Scanner was found a dialog box appears asking you what you want to scan.
6. Select an option, i.e., colors, shades of gray etc. and then click on the scan button.
7. your scanner should now start to scan the document.
8. once the scanner has finished I scans the document, the document must appear in the Paint window.

NancyHi Nancy,.
Encryption of files and folders is a way to protect against unauthorized access. EFS (ENCRYPTING File System) is a Windows feature that you can use to store information on your hard disk in an encrypted format. Encryption is the best protection that Windows provides to help you keep your information secure.
You can make a folder and then encrypt it.

If I buy adobe Elements 10 or later what software should I make the DVD to mov files, the files are large and I know they must be compressed and I don't want to lose quality... I know that adobe pro you still need software, but will still work with the elements and may itself make the compression... I know it can burn DVDs...
vidog
If you burn to a DVD disc in first items 10 and later versions, some choices are
a. DVD-VIDEO standard screen or 4:3 16:9 on DVD disc
Both will have the frame size of 720 x 480 pixels. But the big screen comes with a 16:9 flag that extends approximately 856/480 16:9 display video after encoding. The screening is not adjustable by the user... and you end up with the DVD-VIDEO format @ 29.97 images per second interlaced.
b. format of the AVCHD on DVD
Here is the video display 1920 x 1080. And, depending on the version, can be 29.97 images interlaced per second, or 23.976 progressive frames per second (if not just 29.97 images per second interlaced). Although you can generate some AVCHD DVD with a regular DVD burner, DVD AVCHD is in need of a blu - ray player that supports supported AVCHD DVD or one of these drives multimedia multi which is also.
c. If the player allows... you can export your Timeline file saved on a USB Flash drive and then insert this USB Flash drive in the drive to get the reading of the file. On this route, you can set the Premiere Elements avancΘs to customize your choice of export preset.
Please consult the bulletin and consider then, let us know if we have targeted your question. If this isn't the case, please give more details in the areas where we do not have.
Thank you.

Hello
By "file recovery", you mean the recovery Partition?
Who was photographed by the manufacturer of the computer's hard disk and there is nothing to do with Windows or Microsoft.
It is general information on the recovery Partition:
Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.
1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.
F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.
You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.
2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.
Also ask them how to make records.
Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..
There are backups on an external hard drive.
To fix any problems that have occurred with the D: Partition Recovery, you need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove everything that was added on.
See you soon.
