Believe what you wish. I invite you to set a system restore, install a program, then do a restore and see what happens.

I have done that in the past and my experience is consistent with the way MS describe how System Restore works.
You clearly got it wrong with data files so it's hard for me to assign any credibility to your understanding of how System Restore works without you posting any proof to support your view.
I''m sticking with MS as their description is consistent with what I have observed on my pc's.
I rest my case your honour

My own experiences with System Restore is that it deletes or reverts ANY and ALL programs that may have been installed or changed between restore points; elsewise, the whole reason for restore points would be a moot point.
Whenever you start the System Restore wizard, it will tell you which programs will be affected.
At least on Windows 7, restore points are created automatically on a schedule that the user can alter, and even completely turn off; plus, you have the option to manually create a restore point anytime you choose.
The more memory you allocate to restore points governs how many steps you can go back before new points push them off the list.

I am still waiting for some feedback from the user I was trying to help.
Thanks to all for your contributions and a happy new year to everybody Michel, you are most welcome! Hopefully what the user plans to do -- install anew on a second computer and try to copy the data of the FR_fr subdirectory in the first computer –- will do the job. As I said earlier, I believe it will work; I have done it before.
Happy New Year to you too! Feliz Ano Novo!

Last news from the user I was trying to help:
That means he had to uninstall and reinstall his Elements version. Copying the files from a second installation did not work.

. . . he had to uninstall and reinstall his Elements version. Copying the files from a second installation did not work. Michel, thanks for keeping us posted!
I am baffled!!! Deleting the MediaDatabase and the ThumbDatabase didn’t work; neither did the copy/paste job. Deleting these databases is the usual fix for missing/disappearing effects. As a matter of fact, two of our members have a success story to tell.

I have given more thought to this issue. I am wondering if this is the case of a damaged/corrupted Preferences file. If so, it may explain why deleting these databases didn’t fix the problem. It may also explain why the copy/paste job didn’t work.
This scenario is not farfetched. I remember some cases on the EV forum in which Plan A (deleting the MediaDatabase) and Plan B (deleting the MediaDatabase and the ThumbDatabase) failed to fix the problem. Plan C (deleting the Preferences file) took care of the problem. |
