E-mail

MY Windows Vista had to be restored on my computer.  I lost my e-mail folders that I had saved.  Is there anyway to restore these files?

Messages are stored as eml files.  Is there no eml files, then there is no message.  Check in the windows.old directory if there is one, because it may contain old data.  The location of the message in Vista store is c:\users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows mail, so you might check there.

    Have I lost the files of Outlook Express completely or is there a way that I can import them in the same way that e-mail came? My old computer died (power source grilled or something like that). I still have it, but no way to turn it on.

    If you can access the old hard drive PC you can get the data of Outlook Express store.  See this: http://www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx or this: http://www.insideoe.com/backup/ Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

    What exactly is the problem that you are facing?

  • iPhone 6 Plus with IOS9 impossible to restore back to the top with iTunes on Windows Vista 12.1.2. 5 years of data lost?

    Hi guys

    I was really grateful for any help on this, I am really at my wits end.

    So my iPhone 6 more than 128 GB camera packed a few days ago. I made an appointment to repair/replace the Genius Bar and prior to the appointment back up everything on my phone to itunes on my Windows Vista laptop. All 100 + GB of it. I will mention at this stage, nothing has been saved to icloud (silly me!)

    Apple is good enough to replace my iPhone as it was still under warranty. I plugged my new iPhone forward to my laptop to restore to the last backup, in order to receive a message in order to synchronize with the iPhone I have to update iTunes to the latest version. No problem, I thought. I checked for the last download iTunes to receive a message that iTunes is up to date... At this point, I started to panic. So I tried to download the latest version of iTunes from Apple website only to be told that iTunes 12.3 works only with Windows 7 or later... AAAHHHHHHH!

    I literally my life on this phone. 5 years worth of data just gone. I can't downgrade the IOS on the phone, and I can't update iTunes on my laptop.

    Is there any fine people out there with a solution to this?

    Thank you in advance.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the minimum requirement is Windows 7 and iTunes 12.3.3...

  • Download Windows Vista 64-bit to restore from overview of Windows 8?

    I can support Windows vista 64 to restore from overview of windows 8

    Hello.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Do you know until try you it if the recovery Partition is available or not.

    It depends on how you installed Windows 8 and how your computer manufacturer has the set up recovery Partition.

    He destroyed it with a manufacturer that I know.

    Installation of Windows 8 could destroy this option of relocation:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

I can't find microsoft works or something to do with vista, windows Defender will not download, the initial screen comes on as usual & I have my usual shortcuts on the screen but that's all. I tried all forms of recovery, but nothing helped I feel my only solution is to install the cd that I made when I was first of all the backup computer, but I fear I can lose some of the software I installed it, everyone else has had a similar experience, I safety of bullguard.

  • How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

    I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

  • Windows Vista boot disk does not fix my computer

    Well, some time ago, my computer has been infected. I went to a forum, has tried to solve this problem, and he crashed out of the blue (not the blue screen). Turn off just by itself. Now it doesn't give me the loading... screen as my OTHER computer. I get the black screen "of death" where its preventing me from starting. I tried to start using the disk, repair. But it did not work. I have no point of restoration of any kind. Is there something I can type in cmd to solve this problem? or is there something I need to delete. because I can access files on my disk, but I have no idea what to do with them.

    If you are unable to repair your computer by using the recovery options then Windows is probably too infected/corrupted to save. Back up your data by one of the methods below and do a clean/factory restore of Windows installation.

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

    2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

    * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com
