Solve : Downloaded Ad-Aware 7, now cannot access my Eurdora email - help? |
|
Answer» Right clicking on Start does not give me, "PROGRAMS." However, right clicking on the remaining EUDORA desktop icon, (which has now changed to a blank white TV screen with a blue strip on top...no longer the Eudora icon), I can then click on properties. Properties gives me: "Target... D:\Eudora.exe"D:\" (hey, there's exe!?) then, "Start in D:|," then, "run, normal windows." Properties gives me: "Target... D:\Eudora.exe"After enabling hidden files, navigate to D drive, and see, if "eudora.exe" is there, but I doubt, since "no longer the Eudora icon" I set and applied to view hidden files. That was easy. Went all through D drive and no Eudora. ? DennisI'm sorry, but I don't know what else I could advise...Apparently your Eudora is gone. You can try using undelete program like Pandora Recovery: http://www.download.com/Pandora-Recovery/3000-2094_4-10694796.html?tag=lst-7 Look for eudora.exe, and for any .MBX files.Thank you. You do a good service here and all I can SAY is I appreciate it. I might try your Pandora just in case. After I set a restore point, (grin). Otherwise I'll download Eudora and start again. At least I'll have a clean inbox!!! Should I succeed in recovering anything, I'll post back. Otherwise consider me off again with new Eudora. DennisIt won't help with your Eudora situation, but I strongly recommend, you install ERUNT: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ It's like System Restore, or EVEN better. One of its advantages is, that it backs up your registry every day automatically. You don't have to worry, if you created new Restore Point, or not. I use it on all my computers.Well, the Pandora found nothing; so it only confirmed what we knew. I had hundreds of emails retained in my inbox, (railroad history dialalogue, etc.), but anything I ever saw as critical I either printed physically or saved to disk. I NEVER have anything in my computer I can't live without. Personal, basic mistrust. Biggest loss is convenience and addresses. Thanks for the note on Erunt; I never heard of it, (I also never download ANY software out of idle curiousity either) I'll try it. I am sour now on Ad-Aware, and don't know what to replace it with....if I do. This machine lives behind a router, I had used Ad-Aware for years, and use Grisoft AVG, (hate Norton). That's it. Thanks again; I'll cruise over to Erunt. DennisI feel for you, but it's a total mystery. I don't even know, if we can blame Ad-aware for it. I can't imagine, how it would totally erased just one program with all its files. Anyway, now you (like many others, including myself) learned a new word: BACKUP.AdAware will not do this...even in it's most agressive scan mode. The culprit to this story lies elsewhere....i am wondering .... what happens if you redownload the eudora program and reinstall it? maybe you might be able to run the program again and luckily get all your stuff back like it should. i don't know but you could give it a shot. be sure you make a backup or a system restore point before you do this in case you find the need to go backwards a bit. |
