Uninstalling vp10 it made all the tables deleted as well....how can i get them back?

well the tables from the different vp versions

[Sneetch]

I haven't tried uninstalling vp so not familiar with the actions it performs yet do you have system restore points enabled in Windows? (Assuming you are using Windows). If so you should be able to restore to point just before you uninstalled vpx

[BigHein]

disk recovery tool search for vp or vpx files

after a uninstall are deleting files the files or still on your drive until you installing software or copy files over the space ware the files stil are

you can use tune up to look for the files

[N3roflint]

That's a real bummer man. Like Bighein said you can try using a recovery disk or tool to try and get your files back. Here's an Ubuntu one for example. If you google you will find other alternatives.

That's why you should always, always, always back up your files. I've been in your situation in the past and learned my lesson....never again.

In XP, System Restore is built in; not so with the OS you're running? Admittedly, I'm not positive (it's been quite a while) but I think table files will be restored, and it's the executables and other things that have to be INSTALLED ON your computer, rather than just being stored on it, that require later attention.....

 

Hope I'm right

thnx all for the replies  .....i used system restore but unfortunately it didn't help me much.i even tried a few programs online with the problem that must of them declined the payment using a Visa Vanilla Card.All my "past" are in a limbo mode  ...But still i thank everyone of you who replied and tried to help me..kudos  btw im using Windows 7. and ok, N3roflint i'll click on that link and will try it and im bad (believe or not) doing back ups lol

[N3roflint]

Sorry to hear that you are having a problem recovering the files. Hopefully the Ubuntu disk can help you.

I'll look up some other Linux recovery disks that might help you when I get home tonight.

okkkk. i found a program that finds deleted files and recover them. the problem is that it cannot be put on the same drive(C:) so im deciding to buy an external hard drive and put all those files in there.i think its the only way since i've been trying to get the deleted files on programs that's not accepting for some reason the Vanilla Visa card. So the external hard drive is the only way. Anyway thanks to all who helped me out and answered my post.

N3rofling, i found a program that can retrieves deleted files back. I got it. Only thing left is to get an external hard drive to sends all the recovered files into. About recovery disks i have none. But like i said earlier i found that program thats "undelets" those lost files.

hello sneetch....i tried doing a system restore. I have windows 7. I thought about doing a system recovery but i might loose few programs, i don't want to take any risks. ty anyway man.

btw even though i lose tables files on C:/ i still have an old external hard drive E:/ that has lots of pinball tables and im using that drive until i get the deleted files recovered.

I paid $49 for some software to retrieve photos from a partially formatted hard drive. None of the freeware software was cutting the mustard. This programme however did. The only problem I think you will find with such software is that it renames all the files it recovers and they just become random numbers, not so bad if it’s just photos. Let me know if you want the name of this software. I will have to find it as it was used on an older laptop.

A system restore wil not work because de vp files are not system related windows is not makeing restore points of any non sytem related programs

 

like i said i used tuneup in the past to recover som lost data in it  wil ad undelite to your recycle bin than simple search for lost files

 

good luck

[xenonph]

Not sure if this will help...

This can also be used to retrieve files if you are hit with ransomware and files get locked or corrupted from virus.

It uses Microsoft's Volume Shadow Services which is already built into most computer systems.

Testdisk is very good at recovering deleted fles and its freeware.

I'm just trying the options you mentioned xenonph and ronaldvg. I've tried lots of file recovery programs and all they found was only 5 tables out of 409 (or more). At first they found 400 but for some reason they got "erased from existence". But i'll keep trying.

[4EVERBOOTS]

Using Shadow Copy all i got was 74 .vbs files. Now i'll try Testdisk.

Well, i tried Testdisk and for some reason it only showed a window with .dll and other files. Nothing about a setup.

Something about a log file.

I do still have faith that all the table files are still on the computer. I used to have pinball tables on my laptop, they all got "erased" too!!!! Even the Visual Pinball folder doesnt appears. Dang!!

I guess i'll have to redownload the whole Visual Pinball thing with all it's tables. Oh well....

[N3roflint]

Are you sure you're utilizing the disks in the proper way? I would double check that before giving up.

[4EVERBOOTS]

No disks here N3roflint.

Thanks BigHein. But isn't TuneUp a PC optimizer?

[4EVERBOOTS]

ok devorian. if the program renames the files thenno, but anyway i appreciate your help. kudos.

then no*

[BigHein]

No disks here N3roflint.

Thanks BigHein. But isn't TuneUp a PC optimizer?
