Hi Jerry! I do not know XP, but I'm using Sneaksy. Simple and effective. Information here: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/easily-hide-your-sensitive-files-in-a-password-protected-hidden-folder-with-sneaksy/ See you soon Tags: Windows Compressed files into Windows Media files & does not of course All of a sudden my e-books and digital scrapbooking files, which have been compressed, transformed into a different type of file - unfortunately I don't know what, and I couldn't open them! I don't know how they got that way. I must have done something without meaning to! Then I changed to try to open w/Windows Media which, of course, does not work either. A single file has been highlighted; not all of my e-book. Then I downloaded a new file digital scrapping, and it's a Windows Media file - like all my setting discarded digital who have not decompressed. That's happened? What should open with? I had no problem to ANY of them before this happened. Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began: Restore point: http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/ Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features. It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional. Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar. How can I recover encrypted after reinstalling Windows jpg files? ENCRYPTED JPG FILES I recently had a major BONE down and since my laptop running XP Pro) was bought four years ago in a former employer, that he hasn't had the recovery discs, I had a techie load discs of my daughter in my laptop. This of course led to my loss of all files. I had the backup files to a hard drive stand alone. I had about 6 GB of photos, mostly from the jpg which approximately 1/3 have been encrypted. I don't understand why, because all the photos have been scanned or copied on the same laptop running XP Pro. I've never knowingly encrypted files. Is it possible I can get these encrypted files? I don't have the certificate number of the previous operating system. Still, I don't understand why some files would be encrypted while others were not using the same Windows XP Pro operating system. Can you help me? In the opposite case I'll have to rescan hundres of photographs. Thank you. Yes, the repair shop know what they were doing, but the fact that you gave them a Dell reinstallation CD, as well as the fact that you got the computer back without your files, suggests that what the store did was a "clean install". The facts that the files appear in green and the encryption checkbox checked are bad for you. Both indicate that the files are encrypted in fact using the Windows Encrypting File System (EFS). I've never heard of files becomes encrypted without any action of the user, but how the files got encrypted are now irrelevant. As far as I KNOW, your only hope is to download the demo version of Elcomsoft application linked in my previous post and see if we can find any trace of the hard disk encryption key which is not crushed by the relocation. I don't know, but I suspect that the free trial will tell you if it can or cannot decrypt your files... but they will decrypt only really if you pay for it. ElcomSoft claims success in situations like yours. The less you use the computer before you run the data recovery software, the better your chances of recovery. I think you have to go with the more expensive "professional" version. Windows® XP file Association problems? Copyright 2003 - Doug Knox? his files work? Windows® XP file Association problems?

I hope someone can help! I'm about to pull out my hair! :) I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1720, under Windows Vista Home Premium, with 3 GB of ram. SP2 I had problems with error messages Here are some of the messages I was getting. "Dell Quickset has stopped working" "Windows Management Instrumentation has stopped working" "The user profile service has stopped working". "Windows Update has stopped working" There were a couple more but I do not remember. They are all gave me the ability to check online for a solution I have chosen and the message would go for a while, but not forever. I'm tired of dealing with him, so I used my Dell disk to reinstall Vista. I did not choose the repair option first. I chose to do a clean install. When I got to the last step where it says "Complete the Installation", it gave me an error message telling me that the "Windows.old" file is corrupted. I do not have wright the rest of the information down, but he told me to run the check disk utility. (I think it has been shown as chkdsk). I clicked 'OK' and the screen went black and stayed like that for an hour. I turned off the computer and repeat all the steps but always goes to the black screen and stops. I tried to use the fix and it found a problem immediately and that fixed it, but after reboot, same thing. Yesterday I ran again the repair option, and it still works today. All night and nothing. She is still ongoing as I type this message. My question is how to run disk utility to check without an operating system installed? Use the "Diagnostic" option when I boot the disk from Dell? Any ideas on how I can get reinstalled Vista? Boot from the Dell cd and run diagnostics How can we allow the notation of a file like flv, rtf and word as we can easily in mp3, jpeg and wmv. ? Hello Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager). I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted. Nothing has changed. The ideas people? Hi R_Kelly, Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot. I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread. See point 7. I found a way to make it visible again. 1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update. 2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10. I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update. My hidden files were always checked to be visible. However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used". 3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used". 4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions. 5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update. 6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects. I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s. Temporary fix below *. 7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their. Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory. I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.

repair Windows XP file system, lost files, and the sound card does not even if the drivers are installed. Themes are absent and some programs don't is not loading, connection WI - FI will not charge. System Restore does not work.
I would like to get some clarification. When you say 'repair Windows XP' what talking you? Did you run the System File Checker or that you are trying to make a repair to a XP disk installation? You get an error when you try to run the system restore?
