Solve : Im Back and I have another problem?

1.	Solve : Im Back and I have another problem?
Answer» Hello again. I started having this problem on May 6 two days before my birthday. Well, it goes a LITTLE farther than that. I started having problems with realplayer again. Everytime I would open it, it would say "Realplayer has stopped working and has to close". It was doing that for a while. So I decided to do an Acer Sweep on May 6. This is where the problems come in. I was very sure that I saved my browsing history, my favorites, my videos somewhere before I did the Acer Sweep. Well, as usual, something went wrong. I LOST everything. I talked to Norton because I thought I saved my backup files on there. Well, after 3 hrs. of talking to someone, to make a long story short, I still DONT have my files. I lost my browsing history, my favorites, everything. I dont think I've ever asked this question but is there anyway I can retrieve my favorites. What I mean by favorites is the webpages and the websites that I saved. Is there anyway I can get those back? What about the browsing history etc.? Im assuming no.

I did a search and couldn't find any reference to something called "Acer Sweep". Do you mean to say you did a system restore? If so, then no. Everything has been wiped and overwritten again. Anything you didn't have backed up is likely gone.In W7 the location for favorites is C:\users\username\favorites Quote from: quaxo on May 10, 2012, 10:04:17 PM I did a search and couldn't find any reference to something called "Acer Sweep". Do you mean to say you did a system restore? If so, then no. Everything has been wiped and overwritten again. Anything you didn't have backed up is likely gone. Its an Acer something. What it does is that it wipes everything and starts as if Im using the computer for the first time. I actually try doing a system restore but it never works for me.

Now, Im back to IE 9. Is there anyway I can somehow get my favorites back? The ones that I clicked and saved to my favorites. No. If you did a full restore then everything you had is lost.Yeah, thats what I figured. I thought I had saved it on a Norton Backup Drive but I guess not. I chatted with someone via email from Norton for 3 hrs. trying to see if I saved my files and to make a long story short, I didnt. I restored the files but didnt save them or something because I tried to open any of the files and they wouldnt open. Its just a little weird because obviously based on my posts, Im not the SMARTEST guy when it comes to computers but I just thought I saved them. It just aggravates me that it seems like I cant get ahead. Plus, the fact that I still have low disk space. I've been having that problem for a while. And yes, I tried to delete some files to free up some space but I cant. It tells me I dont have enough free space to do that. I tried emailing Microsoft and chatting with them because I have Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works etc. but nothing. Microsoft didnt help me at all and you really cant even chat with them. A while ago, I was able to retrieve some of the files that I lost. Now, I cant retrieve anything that I saved a long time ago. Everything is in a ZIP File and I cant open it. How would I be able to open it? I was able to open my files before but now I cant open anything. I will say, for example, backup files 2. I used to be able to open that folder and see what was in the file but now I cant. Can someone help?You just need to unzip the file. http://www.7-zip.org/Ok, I downloaded 7-zip.org, now what do I do now? I can see whats in the file but I cant play them yet. If you were in my situation and you just downloaded 7-zip.org, what would you do next? Can you tell me, step by step?Quote from: Jack Catalano on July 08, 2012, 10:09:56 AM Ok, I downloaded 7-zip.org, now what do I do now? I can see whats in the file but I cant play them yet. If you were in my situation and you just downloaded 7-zip.org, what would you do next? Can you tell me, step by step? right click the folder u want to open--> Extract here--> browse to the location u want--> After extracting each zip file u can play or whatever can do with them. but you said u r running out of space, try to run "disk Defragmenter" in windows tools(just type in the search bar in start menu), it would save u some space. hope it will help you out. Hello and I'm back. I have another problem. I've been trying to delete my backup files. The problem is that everytime I try to delete backup files, I cant. It says it invalid or something. Now, I know to free up disk space and having a computer thats slow, I have to delete my files but I cant. It wont let me. Can someone please help?Have you tried to take ownership of those files? http://www.blogsdna.com/2173/add-take-ownership-option-in-right-click-context-menu-of-windows-7.htm
