Windows 10: Windows 7 Professional .INI recoery

Hi,I have a directory on Windows 7 Professional which contains files for a program that I am running. .INI files were accidentally deleted which corrupted the program and undid saved settings for projects within the program. I do not have a restore point and was wondering if there was a way to restore the system back to an earlier time before the deletions were done.Thanks,

:)

Windows 7 Cannot Read .ini File

I am working on a Windows 7 Pro computer and trying to connect a signature pad (SigPlus), and the device is not USB compatible. So during install, I had to select the COM1 option, but the issue is that the desktop only has a COM6 port. I have a .ini (configuration
setup) file that is supposed to change the port configuration, but Windows refuses to read the file. I have followed the SigPlus instructions and put the .ini file in the Windows folder. I noticed it was still not working so I put the .ini file on the server,
thinking that the system required them to match, but that did not work either. Someone suggested I should do compatibility mode, but I am not sure that would solve the issue. Also, another issue is that I have administrative credentials but the system I am
working on does not. I have been putting the .ini file on a shared company drive to transfer to the correct folders.

 

Windows 7 Professional keeps dropping the DVD/CD drive

Working with a fresh install (2nd attempt) of Windows 7 Professional on new hardware. The motherboard is a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. Running 4G of RAM and an Intel Q9400 Quad Core CPU. The DVD/CD optical drive is a Pioneer DVR-218L.

Here's the problem - after two fresh installs, Windows 7 drops the DVD/CD drive and I get the following error in Device Manager (The device cannot start {code 10}). After the install, the drive works for a period of time, then stops working and I get the error code.

The driver appears to be a standard Windows driver (CD-ROM driver).

I've tried uninstalling the drive and re-installing it in Device Manager but it does not work - I continue to get the device error.

I've also swapped out the DVD/CD drive to insure it's not a bad unit. Same problem with both drives.

What do you suggest for next steps?? Could it be an issue with the motherboard?? A driver problem?

I visited the Pioneer web site - could not find any help or additional Windows 7 drivers.

What now??
