@zeringue and @sally your ideabooks are restored. @krc I am not seeing one that was deleted on this account. It is possible it is on another one.

HELP! I deleted files under win 98
Q
Comments (20)
If you can get Windows98 to start in the "safe" mode (pressing the F8 key as mentioned above), open the "recycle bin and look to see if the deleted files are there. They should be if these have not been removed from the recycle bin. If the files are there, merely highlight the file and click on "restore". This will put the file back from whence it came unless you have deleted certain part of the operating system. However, if you deleted files using the old DOS commands, I'm not sure what happens. They may be gone. In any event, you could re-install Windows. I've had to to do that a few times back when I had Win98 SE. Before reinstalling, copy down all of your browser settings. You may loose these on an re-install. It doesn't happen every time, but it is a good practice just in case. I'm not sure what happens to the Windows updates upon a re-install. If you are lucky, Windows will recognize the update copies on the drive and install these. If this does not happen, the next time you go in-line, the Windows updater may begin, or ask to begin downloading a bunch of updates, and this can be a lengthy process over a 'dail-up' connection. Of course, you are aware that MicroSoft stopped supporting Window98 and there will be no new updates save the ones already available. If your equipment is suitable for Windows XP, I recommend moving up to that operating system. It's much better that Win98. One caution, however: Make sure that you have plenty of disk space be you begin the upgrade. A big mess is created if XP fails to finish loading due to not enough disk space. Read the requirements carefully. Upgrading to XP requires a huge temporary file during the upgrade, much larger than one might imagine. Also, a large amount of space is neded to store the old system if the option to retain 'retore old system' is chosen. If your disks are formatted for FAT 16 bit, convert up to at least 32 bit FAT. BUT WAIT! If you need to run old DOS programs, find out how to set this up under XP before you convert. That may be more trouble than its worth. It would be best if you could move away from these if possible. I've had no problem with older software written for Win95/98 when run under XP. I do have an expensive old DOS based finite element analysis program that I can no longer run with XP. If I find that I really need to run this program (for consulting purposes), I'll refresh an old computer and install Win98 SE and this program on it.

I Deleted a Folder in Windows Mail..Can I Get It Back
Q
Comments (10)
have you checked in your recycle bin or in your email client deleted folder? it is usually there for a while before being removed. Since you did not mention if the folder you created was an email folder on your email client or if it was a folder somewhere on your pc you will have to use which ever location applies. if it was on your pc you can also go to start> search and type in the name of the folder or files and do a search for it. In your email client there should be a search option you can put in the persons email address and search for any emails received from that person they may still show up.

Scavenger If your pictures haven't been written over on your hard drive. One thing that I tried and liked is Scavenger. http://www.quetek.com/download.htm I tell you what little I know about it. I just played with it retriving small items. You should download to a CD not your computer. If you download or write over your pictures their gone. When you go to scavenger to download the Demo (Free Demo) look for this. filescav.exe (Executable file, 1,134 KB) filescav.chm (Help file, 54 KB) I didn't download the help file. Scavenger Demo will let you retrieve pictures for free. You can't recover to your hard drive. You must use an extra drive of some kind to save your pictures to. I used a USB Sandisk. Cost about $20.00. From that you can move the pictures to your computer. As best as I can tell when you buy the license they give you the code to make the Demo work to recover as much as you want. Select O Drive, I forget. Try different settings. Click on the header TYPE and all your Jpeg files will be grouped together. You don't have to buy a license to recover pictures. I found out about Scavenger when someone wrote about recovery of 5000 pictures Here is a link that might be useful: Scavenger

cant believe I deleted them

A Windows "Restore" was not the proper thing to do in this case. Most email utilities have a "trash" bin in which deleted messages fall into. These messages are not gone until the trash has been dumped. To retrieve a trashed messsage, move to the trash bin, highlight the desired message and then click on "file" (Not the file betton in the upper left of the frame) or "move" button. A drop down menu appears asking which folder you do you wish to move the messages to?

Hi Emily H, Houzz have been in touch, twice and fortunately have been able to fix the problem. Both ideabooks have merged into one and everything is working fine. Thank you for your assistance, though, I appreciate it.

@Glenda Bryan It looks like you have two separate Houzz accounts. The content you are missing is likely in the other account. If you log in with your other email / password combination, you should see it!

I have loved and used Houzz for years and have often recommended it to friends. In the last few months, it has a habit of losing my idea books which is really upsetting. So far, they have reappeared. On one occasion because I requested it. Please restore my books again.

@Emily H, I am having problem with my ideabooks. Some open normally and for other a new window will open, but there is nothing there, not even the side bar that is usually on the ideabooks pages.

The thumbnails show up normally.

I have not deleted any of these, they are just not showing up. The really important one is the Paint Colors ... have spent hours on that one the last month :-(

see post I started:

Just checked and my Ideabooks all seem to be back. Probably some software glitch.

Thank you to anyone who got involved to fix it!

My idea book is supposed to have 994 pics that I saved. It even shows that number, however I can only access around 450 or so.. I did not delete them, but it looks like my first half collected over years have disappeared. How do I get them back. Very upsetting.

Hi all, when an ideabook goes missing there are usually a few possible explanations:
- The ideabook was accidentally deleted by the account holder
- The ideabook was detected as spam (not likely if it is used for saving Houzz images)
- The account holder has more than one account without necessarily realizing it and is logged into the wrong one. (Sometimes people don't realize they have created a separate account on mobile vs. web for example.)
If you are having issues with missing ideabooks or photos, please reach out to us through http://help.houzz.com and our team can investigate for you. Thanks!
