VM crash - recovery ideas?

Hello

I had a VM open with XP Pro running.  I went to Excel 2008 under OSX and got the famous spinning wheel of color.  I could go back to the virtual machine and he suspended and restarted the Mac Pro, think that the virtual machine were safe.  Well, it turns out, it's was not only not sure, there summer altered so bad that explorer.exe can not start!  I was one day away from my scheduled backup, but of course, it does not help.  I need to get a file on the VM, corrupted.

Someone at - it other ideas for recovery?  Is there a way to access the files in the virtual computer even if the browser does not start?

Thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated!

Note: My experience when using VMDKMounter was that if no error message appears, then the virtual hard disk has been mounted and it appears usually on the desktop as an icon of white player named "Untitled".

    Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

    Hello.

    It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

    To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.

    Your problem is due to Safari which is crashing and using up to 3 GB of memory. As well as all the other processes running the system is forced to use the disk for virtual memory. You should consider removing all third-party Internet Plug-ins and disabling all extensions Safari. Use the Finder to go to the folder/Home/Library/Preferences/and drag any com.apple.Safari... to the files on the desktop. Then in the folder/Home/Library/find the Safari folder and put it in the trash, but do not empty the trash. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, and then restart normally. It will be much slower than normal, so be patient.

    In addition to the above, you should do the following:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

  • Crash recovery system factory

    Hi guys,.

    I was doing a system recovery plant for about 2 hours. I have completed the formatting and reinstallation of recovery disks 1, 2, 3 and deleted records. The system continued to install packaged software and was nearly 95% through when it suddenly crashed.

    After the reboot of the machine, I get the error the installation is not completed and I need to install again.

    Is it possible to recover and complete installation, or I have to start all over again from the beginning of the formatting and insert discs 1, 2 and 3?

    Thank you

  • Where are my e-mail messages after the crash recovery and pc?

    I have a 3 years old Toshiba PC running Vista Ultimate Service Pack 2 and Windows Mail.  PC crashed.  Do you have a full recovery.  Now two problems.

    The BIG problem is: the only Windows Mail messages are when I started it up after recovery of 3 years and more - they come from my old pc.  It is not all messages generated or received since I have this pc.

    The second problem is sometimes when I try to send from within Internet Explorer, when I click on the Page, click on "send link by e-mail" or "send page by e-mail".  I get an error message that says: "default mail client not properly installed. But not always.  What is everything?

  • FireFox is no longer crash recovery of open tabs. Management of tab has changed. How can I get the old behavior?

    All my old tabs are missing after a crash. I chose "view my tabs, windows and last time ', like the start option. Many unwanted changes in tab management happened recently. For example when I close a tab in a window of the two tab, I see a blank screen (see picture). Preview display seems to be broken (see attachment). How can I get the old behaviour back?

    After researching the issue, it seems that the problem was a problem of NoScript configuration. After restoring NoScript to the default values, the tab number disappeared.

    Thanks for your help.

  • problem reconfigure everything. in the replication after the database crash recovery

    Dear friends, I have little problem in replication,.
    I have 2 databases DB1 and DB2 configured as Multimaster replication and My DB1 is master def. Now my master got DB2 database crashed and replication topology displayed in red color.
    So I again created DB2 database. So I tried to bring this new DB2 replication again some of the operations being on my site of master def.
    So the problem is that I couldnot stop replication
    Can anyone suggest me how can I reconfigure again back in replication without removing the current group of rep

    I tried suspend replication by Lee. intervention but couldnot

    Start
    () dbms_repcat.suspend_master_activity
    gname = > 'REPMG');
    end;

    can someone solution
    Note:
    my database got crashed and I recreated the database and made available in the position while he was just before the crash

    Even if 'create you' repadmin and links from the database, there is no information about the configuration of replication (repgroup (s), repobjects etc.) in the database. Also, of course, the deferred transaction queue has no entry.

    You must configure replication scratch 'from '.

  • System crash recovery

    My iMac 2011 mid running only yosemite 10.10.4 recently suffered a hardware failure the likes of which I've not seen since OS9. When the computer reboots, the computer initially known problems of recognition of keyboard and then exposed critical infestation beach ball that left the computer unusable for any application practice.

    What I tried:

    Repair disk utility permission - no effect

    Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.5 - no effect

    Apple Hardware test - reported no errors

    Secure - all too slow start

    Cleared Cache, saved application State ~/Library and LaunchAgent files - this provided a massive temporary performance boost, but within an hour, half of the beach balls was returned.

    What else can I safely delete in / library or ~ / library?

    Is there anything else I should try before you reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS?

    Newspapers, you're really the only thing that you can safely remove the library files.  The rest are supporting for various applications.

    A start minimizes startup items and kernel extensions.

    Your Mac's PRAM Battery is probably age (in four years).

    The other thing to consider is running Etrecheck to search for everything what you installed that should not be installed.

    We can look at the resulting report of the Etrecheck system for you tell if there is another thing that can be a problem:

    And no, system updates set system slowness.

  • Post Crash Recovery

    Hi and thanks for any help someone can give.

    My computer froze and I was forced to restart without having had a chance to save.
    When I reopened the elements (version 11) and checked the AutoSave file he had all my blocks/frameworks that I had when I fell...
    However, a lot of executives did not contain the images real and rather displayed a screen saying something on offline media, don't remember exactly what he said.

    My question is, is there an easy way to put this film in their blocks on the editing screen, since the blocks themselves are still there?  It's a lot of work to cut down each of the clips to the right size and the right of distribution for all changes (video made to go along to a song).  A large number of these blocks are super fast "flashes" of a clip.

    If this isn't the case, I guess I'll have to do it again, but if someone knows an easier solution I would appreciate the help.

    Thank you.

    Take one of the last backup to automatically, right click, select open with, and then Adobe Premiere elements 11.

    When you do, you will be greeted with "Where is the file _?" message 1. There is no longer any doubt after answering the question for message 1.

    These messages are your way to reconnect support source for the project. That's it as far as you know where the missing media on your computer (you can actually find and see their drive hard save location). If you are lucky, then responding to a message, can trigger more open spontaneously.

    Media - project disconnects usually occur if

    a. you moved, deleted or renamed files and folders after the project has been saved closed.

    and/or

    b. you store your media source on an external hard drive and external hard drive has failed... perhaps that the drive letter has changed.

    Please review, study, provide more information. If any questions or need any clarification on the above, do not hesitate to ask.

    Thank you.

    The ESX 4.1 Server I get the text next message when you use the vSphere client: "this host is currently managed by the vCenter Server Server with the address IP X.X.X.X. changes to this host this session can now be reflected in sessions clients vSphere watching the vCenter Server.»  The management host, under the summary poster tab: "this host is currently managed by vCenter Server X.X.X.X..

    The ESXi server 5.1 has received the same message when you use the vSphere client until I chose an option under host of disassociate or disconnect with the vCenter Server Management (don't remember exactly what was the option).  It succeeded, to some extent.  When you connect to the server ESXi 5.1, it does not present the message indicated with the ESX 4.1 server.

    A different vCenter server has been installed in an attempt to restore a centralized without success.  Adding a server as a host to the data center generates the following error message: "failed to contact the specified host (serveur7). "The host may not be available on the network, is maybe a problem of network configuration or management on this host services may not respond.

    Objective:

    To dissociate the two servers with the old VirtualCenter and establish a new connection with the new vCenter server.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Can you confirm the new vCenter Server is properly registered in DNS and is able to resolve the names of domain the ESXi host's FULL name, i.e. settings of IP of the server vCenter, including its server DNS entry are correct? Are you able to connect hosts using their IP addresses, just to test if it works.

  • PC Crash Recovery - tag, category, and other files

    I had to rebuild my PC due to viruses and other issues to get rid of the virus.

    I did much of the backup computer and hope that I have included some of the files Photoshop Elements 9 I need.

    Can anyone help me with information on where to find files that contain tags, categories, albums and other items that I created in the Organizer to help manage my photos?

    I want to make sure that these files are backed up regularly.

    Also if you know how to install these files after you reinstall PSE it would be useful also.

    Kind regards

    Find your backup for

    *.pse9db

    and restore all of the folder that contains this file (including subdirectories).

    You can restore this directory on any place, and in the Organizer, use the file... Catalogue... Custom location to navigate to the location of this directory to use its catalog.

    This is the system that I use for my data files: since I have several programs that use their own databases, I have created the following directory

    C:\Data

    and subdirectories under it for each program.  For example, I have a

    C:\Data\PSE Organizer\Catalogs\Test01

    Directory for my catalogue "Test01" and so on.  It is so easy to use WinZip to compress just to the top of all the C:\Data directory to create a backup file of all the data for all my programs.
