Solve : Now that I have my files back, how do I find out whats in them?? |
|
Answer» My question is that I can see my files. I posted in another thread about how I got my files back. Thats not the problem. The problem is that there are so many folders that say "backup zip files" that I dont know whats in them. If I try to look for a video or document, I cant find it because I wouldnt know where to start looking, Is there an easier way I can go through my folders and find what Im looking for, instead of SPENDING mins. and maybe hrs. goint through each "backup zip files"?Use the search option filter. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-tips-for-searching-in-WindowsWhen I clicked on the link, I tried what was on the link and it didnt work. It says that its fairly easy but not for me. I am not a computer whiz when it comes to a computer. I think if I need anything, I'll go through each folder/file to find it. Quote If I try to look for a video or document, I cant find itThat is why you need to filter them by entering keywords from the search box. If you know the title or specific, the better. Quote backup zip filesIf these are your files, I think you should know them better. Zip is to UNZIP but most likely password protected. Let me ask something.There are so many folders that say "backup zip files" that I dont know whats in them. If I try to look for a video or document, I cant find it because I wouldnt know where to start looking, Is there an easier way I can go through my folders and find what Im looking for, instead of spending mins. and maybe hrs. goint through each "backup zip files"? When I go through the "backup zip files" is there ANYWAY I can save my videos to realplayer or any other system? Im trying to do it but its not working for me. A real shocker, isnt it?Not if they are zip files... Each zip needs to be openrd to view... What app is creating all these zip files ? ?I can open the files in realplayer. Is there anyway I can save them into my Realplayer Library instead of searching and searching the files for what I want?

I went on realplayer to chat with someone to figure out whats wrong. So after about 2 hrs. and being disconnected 2 or 3 times, we found the problem. Apparently, I didnt have the right codecs(?). Below is the one of the transcripts that I had: GoToAssist: Your representative has arrived. GoToAssist (13:05:38): Customer Jack Catalano accepted request to share screen.

Jack Catalano (13:42:51): one more thing Jack Catalano (13:42:59): so what was the problem?? Leofe Macasa (13:43:27): You're most welcome. Leofe Macasa (13:43:41): It's just that you don't have the correct codecs installed in your computer. Jack Catalano (13:43:55): ok Now, my Realplayer is working as well as my Realplayer converter. My problem is that I still think I have some backup zip files that I cant get into. How WOULD be to find some of the files Im looking for? I've done advanced searches, indexes etc. and must have checked 90% of all my backup zip files and I know there are some files missing. How would I be able to find them because I dont know where each file is located and Im spending hours upon hours looking?What app is creating these zip files ? ?Im not sure what app? Can you list some of them and I can see because Im not sure?Im not sure what app it is. Quote Not if they are zip files... Yeah, so why can't you just extract all of them and then do your search? It will be much easier then.Shows how little I know about computers. What do you mean by extracting the files? |
