    Hello

  • Cannot remove desktop icon in Windows Vista

    I can't remove an icon of a document word on my desk. I first saved this file on my desk and he settled in a folder under "documents". Now, when I try dragging the icon remains on the desktop into the trash or select DELETE from the drop-down below, I get an error message that says "file not found." I tried to put the file on my desktop, but only another shortcut - creates a shortcut that I am able to remove. How can I delete the icon? I wouldn't mind deleting the document if necessary.

    Try one of the following two products: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.phpUnlocker.  These programs tend to work when the standard functions of delete Windows Vista do not make the case.

  • Put the files in the trash, empty the trash, and then doing some other stuff, and then when I couldn't find the files again, I reinstalled windows vista... now I need/want these files

    I sent files to the trash, and then I emptied the trash, and then realized that I only need/want these files, so I went to look for them, then screwed up everything while doing so somehow a shortcut on my desktop, then I put in the disc to reboot/reinstall the entire system windows vista... can we recover these items , or they are gone forever?

    I don't know what kind to reinstall you did.  If it was a repair/upgrade, you may be in better shape (fact he preserve your data and programs after the re - install - then you have made the right kind of re - install).

    If you did a reinstall to repair/upgrade and if you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    If this does not work, here are a few free recovery programs that might help (if you did a lot for the system, because the files have been deleted, then chances are that less as they might otherwise be - see notes below):

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

    http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).  The fact that you did a re - install is not good for what is successful, - but it's worth a try.

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

    Hello

    It seems that you have made an update of XP to Vista. Am I wrong?
    Why have you tried to update the operating system?
    I think it s not advisable to upgrade to the first version of XP to Vista.

    I prefer a clean Vista installation if you want you can use the two BONES; XP and Vista.
    In this case, the new partition is necessary.

    You can install the Vista on the second partition, and you could leave the XP on the partition of fist.
    Vista provides a clean start and therefore Manager it s easy to switch between the two BONES.

    But it was only my proposal. You can also format the whole HARD drive and install only the Vista!

  • I have Windows Vista and when running Norton 360, they said that I had in somee virus in my backup files. How can I remove them?

    I want to delete old backup files. Some of these files have a virus in them. If I completely delete these files and run a new backup it will accomplish what I want.

    I asked a similar question on the removal of all my backup files in my hard drive external and asked if I would get a full file backup or just backup incemental.
    I asked this question to Windows Vista, IT Pro.
    The answer is:
    Windows uses something known as bits archive to determine if changes have been

  • Error installation software device driver for removable devices in Windows Vista x 64

    I have Windows Vista x 64 installed on my PC and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphic cards.

    When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows starts the installation of the device driver software and then sees it as an unknown device. The dialog where he asks me if I want to 'locate and install driver software', 'Ask Me later' or 'don't show this message for this device.

    I select the recommended option: "locate and install driver software.

    I click 'Continue' when Windows asks me permission to continue.

    Then, when the execution of the installer of the software in the bottom right of my screen, the installation of driver software for device, it shows "unidentified device failed.

    Then another window pops up saying this:

    "Found New Hardware - device unknown".

    Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device

    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    Kodak

    An error occurred during the installation of the device:

    The driver for this device is missing a necessary entry. Maybe it's because the file INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.

    If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit their website and check the support section for driver software. »

    That's what he does when I'm trying to connect my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.

    For example, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:

    "Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc...

    'Install the device driver software', 'USB Flash Drive search Windows Update'...

    Then a window opens asking me to "insert the disk that came with your USB key. Problem is that no driver disk not supplied with the hardware that Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because the camera and usb flash drive worked very well until I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (new installation, because my old hard drive crashed) and I've NEVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize it as a removable drive and operate automatically.

    Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the cdrom files needed for the specific subfolders for windows to let the program assign a drive letter for the drive virtual it creates.

    I think that perhaps not all device drivers have been installed when I installed Windows Vista, this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that could happen, nor how to fix it, but I really prefer to find a way to solve this problem without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind not manually install the drivers as long as someone can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disk that I bought at Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows HAS come with these drivers.

    If anyone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because it's ridiculous to not be able to use any removable device readers (except for the use of all Flash drives). Thanks in advance.

    I know it can be frustrating to solve problems.

    It will tell you which key to press. And where your USB ports are on or off. Some systems do not have to turn on or off.

  • Remove the Windows Vista so that the upgrade can continue. He says that I can not upgrade both on the drive.

    Hello

    The best way is to clean install and start over.

    In addition, it is not legal to have both installed version that the license is for a single installation.

    If it is a dual boot with 32 bit and 64 bit installed on different partitions, there would not have been the conflicts you would have never started in one or the other.
