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

Can someone please tell me how to restore your computer to 2 weeks ago without making a restore point on Vista?

[hein127]

i have the same computer and everything but i want a full restore to factory settings and i have no i dea how can anyone tell me how

[XM1321]

computers are nothing more than a run around joke to make money, yes they are ok, but these companys really need to make a restore button with one touch of the button to bring it back to factory specs, but the stupid asses are to smart to do that? they would rather us wast our time trying to figure out this stupid shit , only to have us pay for it in the longrun, dont fear , cause i will make a video on that and spread the word about it.

[loversdigest]

@XM1321 uhh on vista on the startup it is just one press of a button

[Sandeep9201]

i click on next at the last step and it does nothing, do i wait for like a minute or so for it to do something or does it right away shut down after i click next??

[mrengland1983]

[LilBluNub]

When i try to open system restore it says it cannot protect my computer and to restart it, i restart it and i get the same thing? what do i do

[Computerbasics]

check for viruses..something funny is going on..

[wax5421]

@Computerbasics hey my "next" button doesn't work on my system restore so i can't make the program run, its probably a virus or something is there any other way to make it run?

[mccoolrecords]

[Computerbasics]

The restore files might be corrupted.

[theeshortkidd]
