HELP! I was trying to restore some documents to my Vista system from a
backup file I made on my XP system before it died. I used the MS NT
Backup-Restore utility and restored a backup file of the "all users" folder,
thinking that is where I could find my "my documents" folder. I set the
settings to restore the files to the original location and to not overwrite
files of the same name. The restore completed and when I went to look in the
C:\ drive, I was denied access ("C:\ is not accessible, access is denied").
Huh?! Looking at the properties of C:\, I find that there is "Capacity = 0
bytes". Ummm. So I reboot, and the reboot is successful, but the problem is
still there. No access to C:\. I am the only user profile set up, and I'm
setup as administrator. I run Norton scan, and Norton can (and does) scan
all the files in C. So they're still there, I just can't access them. Which
means none of my applications (besides Norton) can access them.
Interestingly, when I try to open Internet Explorer (and other programs), I
get error messages reading "incorrect DLL loaded; original API DLL:
C:\U\Software\Google\Google Desktop\; Current API DLL: C:\ram Files." What
do I do? I've been very silly and haven't set any restore points since I got
the thing (I know... I know...stupid). Anybody got a clue? Thought I'd
start here before I make a phone call to someone in another country for tech
support.
