When I greeted windows compact my files, they lost 19 months completely worth what I can do?

When I agreed that the "Compact files" offer windows he swallowed all my files from current email in the past 19 months and they are not found. I searched all possible sites for them, no other files seem to miss, but these current criteria.  This happened earlier in the year with 4 months of a value of that I could read on my gmail a/c but it's much worse.

This happened earlier in the year with 4 months of a value of that I could read on my gmail a/c but it's much worse.

And don't always save you your mail? Assuming you are using Outlook Express...

Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

Recovery methods:

If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

Note: If you have new messages in the folder you are go restore, move them to a folder first created user, or they will be lost. They can be moved once the old posts have been restored.

Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.

If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:

And see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently.

  • When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.

    When I go to open a file a box comes up to choose what program I want to open with.  At the bottom of this box is a place where I'm supposed to be able to check who always says "use this program to open this file" I can't check this box.  I open office.org and it allows to automatically save in this format.  Microsoft word program has been installed on my computer and he began to do what I said above then my daughter-in-law.  I've since removed the Microsoft Word program, but it continues to make me choose program to open whenever I try to open a document that was created after she comes to settle the Microsoft word porgram.  Now, even if I had clicked on save in openoffice.org, with that I always get this box asking me what program I want to open.  Thank you for your help.  Marilyn.

    I guess the box to "always use the selected program to open this kind of file" is grayed out, and that's why you can not check it out.  Is this correct?  Is this true for the two files that were created in OpenOffice files AND that were created in Microsoft Word (note that created is the same that that edited not)?

    In OpenOffice, make sure that the "automatic file name extension" option is enabled in the file "Save as" dialog box.

  • Windows 7 offline files don't sync not completely

    Hello

    We have one user who takes his laptop in Africa to do work and I had problems with the use of offline on his computer files.  It should be noted that it worked perfectly well on a laptop Windows XP but was nothing else than to problems with the computer laptop win 7 pro 64.

    Here's the breakdown.  Each user has its own network folder (H:\) where they can store documents and everything else while it is supported by our server.  His H:\ is very large and a H:\Documents file I have hard right clicking on make available offline.

    Sync center starts and they sync is in progress, no error message, but when I check back the next day (about 70 GB in synchronize) I see that everything is not always available when I check availability offline.

    I don't know what I'm missing here... It even does not show the file if I go in Sync Center and he discovers synchronization partnerships...

    Many worked for another computer... any help would be appreciated!

    If you use Outlook Express, then you get the prompt because it's to check an email account and he failed to connect properly.  He will not stop and prompt you unless you press the Cancel button.  Then go to tools | Options and you can set when OE should check for mail and you can exclude an account from the check under Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties and set the correct credentials there.

    If you do not OE, then we must be more explicit as to what is causing the prompt, what windows are open, that said the title bar of the command prompt?  Its impossible to answer your question otherwise.
