I recently did a system recovery and it said that the files were not going to be erased. And apparently they didn't get erased because the hard drive C is still full as it was before the recovery, but the files don't show up in my documents. How can I access to them again? The system restore earliest time is when I did the recovery, so I can't go before that.

[mightguy14]

do u know how to fixe bad image error for windows xp

[indigofire1o9]

@mightguy14 You right click your desktop and go to Properties/Personalize and once the window is open go to display settings and choose how many pixels. It depends if you have an older computer or newer computer.

i wish as soon a s you bought a pc it had a restore points

[drulli6]

i cant even boot my pc from the c drive (the explorer wont go up) but i can use the task manager to start up programs what folder is the system restore?

[TheLyk3r]

and whats then? :D

[arjean0110]

mmm does this help to remove tr/trash.gen virus?

i think system restore is an alternative to reformat

geeeez i dont want to delete some files and doing some back up thing

coz eventually infected the drive i inserted

[indigofire1o9]

@arjean0110 Yes. A virus is an actual program/thing just like anything else on your computer. If you restore your computer it will delete everything that you downloaded or did, etc..

[drunkenskaterguy]

Hey, It's been a while since I used the computer I currently have. I forgot all the passwords and have no access to anything but the opening menu for choosing what user i want. How do I fix this?

P.S. I'm on my laptop right now.

[Computerbasics]

@drunkenskaterguy You could try this... If you are on Windows Xp and you want to login..press ctrl alt del and then enter the name administrator and leave the password blank...

[josephineling]

@Computerbasics i try that but they say the system could not log u in

[drunkenskaterguy]

@Computerbasics Thx, worked like a charm

The restore files might be corrupted.
