  • Cannot use Bit Locker encryption because Bit Locker critical system files are missing or damaged.

    Original title: file corruption

    My laptop is around the age of 13 months. For the 6 months charges I couldn't play all the music in the music library of the media player. the error message would say my music files have been damaged or corrupted. I tried to delete the files, but could not. unexpetedly about 2 weeks ago the media player has started working properly, and even though I was confused, I was happy to be able to listen to my music. However, when I did my weekly back, a message appeared that said that some files could not be backed up. My computer has since fallen twice and had to repair itself and then when I tried my weekly backup only yesterday, the computer won't start backup. reads the error message: Bit Locker encryption cannot be used because the Bit Locker critical system files are missing or damaged.

    I find it strange that "file corruption" has been cited again but when I try recommended fixes, nothing changes, just as it was when I had problems with the music. Help, please

  • email and electronic mail files are missing... How to bring them back?

    My Thunderbird account suddenly disappeared. I have Thunderbird back, but all of my saved emails are missing. Some of the Inbox went back to June 20, returned in a single account, but all the others are missing. Sent folder is empty like the others. I can find where the files are located on the computer, but I don't know how to bring back them to Thunderbird, if I'm right.

    I don't know if I've been hacked or whether it is a quirk that can be fixed. If anyone can help me, I'll be really grateful. Thank you!!!

    My best guess what happened was Thunderbird lost track of your profile (for some reason any) and started with a new clean profile.
    You could recover the existing profile, but since you already took the trouble to recreate your accounts, it is not necessary.

    I can find where are all the emails/files, but I can't find a way to restore them.

    Install this add-on.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/ImportExportTools/

    Then you can it use to import existing e-mail files of the old profile. Note that e-mail files are those without file extension, for example, "Inbox" or "sent".

    If there is anything else, you can retrieve it from the old profile, see this article.

  • File opens and shows that files are missing images

    Hello world

    I created an indesign file with images and content. Everything was ok, and when I sent it to the customer. There was a projection of error about the lack of basically the image files. I'm new to indesign and don't know much. Please think, how I can remove the error. In addition, I'm not able to find the images that I used in the indesign file. Please suggest...

    Kind regards

    Vikas

    When you send an Indesign file you must package, file > package.  Don't stir!  This will make a case treated with only images used in the Indesign document and a copy of Indesign itself.  However if you only send them a file so they can print just to make a PDF, file > Adobe PDF presets > print quality.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). I can't understand how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like the brush etc.). Whenever I try to use a tool, a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click on it to handle, which opens just this line in a screen finery semi where all other objects are semi-gris in the background. I can handle this line in this screen, but nothing else at this point I could do 5 minutes ago. For example, I can no longer reach the 2 lines drawn by the tool online together. For some reason, it started randomly (probably due to an accidental combination) and I just can't put it to what it was. I inserted a video showing if all goes well I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Object drawing mode. Simply disable it in the tools Panel, or by using the default keyboard shortcut, which is J.

  • Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe.

    Whenever I start the system complains that the following files are missing, c:\\Windows\System32\igfxpers.exe, igftray.exe and hkcmd.exe. Everything started after I ran scan and scan deleted some files infected. However, I can use the system. Where and how to download the missing files? Or how the system does not deliver messages?

    Two of the three files are probably part of the malware infection and not the files infected. The third is probably the same details in this link:

    To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig. You will find the three points and they will have a description 'file is missing' against everyone. Your antivirus software has removed the files, but not the startup entries in the registry. All you need to do is delete the entry using Autoruns to eliminate the error messages.

    Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • All my programs files and personal files are missing

    All my program files are missing (menu start - click 'all programs' - and it shows 'empty'... but if I taper type in an .exe application, then right-click and run as administrator, it works.)  In addition, all of my documents and photos disappeared.  I went completely through the computer and they simply went (value years of family photos).  Winundelete tried and it did not, so I guess that they are not simply deleted.  Any help?  I'm really confused.  (for the only system restore restore point before that the problem does not help)

    Have you seen evidence that you have been infected by malicious software recently?

    In an Explorer window, click on organize, select folder and Search Options. On the view tab, select Show hidden files and folders and apply them.

    You can also use the unhide.exe program, which is located towards the end of tis section.

  • The access permissions to the NTFS file in "C:\windows" and "C:\Program files" are not secure

    Hey there
    Had a minor shock after I discovered that the access permissions default to the "limited users" in "C:\Windows\" and "C:\Program files\" are raised by the image automatically XP - Pro installed on my Tecra A6.

    Default access permissions to the NTFS file in "C:\windows" and "C:\Program files" for "A limited number of users" should not have permissions "File/writing data Creation" or "Creation of folders/adding data. This opens up for what is called dll redirection attacks (ref: http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis/)

    When you install a Win XP a normal retail or OEM Windows XP cd these two folders are special protected by this measure (not allowing the permissions listed for limited users). Installation procedure of your image work it around (in established Microsoft) measure and open breaches in security.

    Now I have to drop all these permissions and hope that all of the utilities of your work for limited users after that that, otherwise you get a very unhappy customer on your hands. ;)

    Hi Henrik

    Thanks for the information. I have a common user of Toshiba and I have never heard of such attacks to redirect m .dll.
    However, I think that if each user install antivirus software (nothing unusual at the time; everyone should use) and activate the Microsoft Windows updates and OS firewall should be safe.

    Greetings :D

    PS: I read in this forum that sometimes some Toshiba applications as energy saving does not work under limited account.
