My computer crashed and I saved my files onto my flashdrive. I can't open SWM files.

HP Mini 110-3700ca PC
So my computer crashed and I saved my files onto my flashdrive. The back up files are compressed into SWM files and I can't open them. I tried dowloading p7zip and extracting the files and the files remained the same. Maybe I didn't do it correctly. I'm running out of ideas. I'm trying to recover a few DOC and RTF files that was saved in the hard drive before the crash.
Thanks

Inside the folder of files you should see a file with .exe extension, either Recovery.exe or Backup.exe.Double click it to extract the files to a folder on your laptop.
You will have to enable the option to see file extensions for known file types.Do that in Control Panel,Folder Options.
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

  • HT203167 My computer crashed and had to be stripped...so where can I find my ITunes from the past years?

    My old computer on windows crashed and has to be stripped....now iTunes store doesn't seem to bean,le to locate all of my old purchases.  Is there a solution?

    Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to re-download some/all of your past purchases (if they aren't still in the store then you won't be able to re-download it) : re-downloading. If you aren't in a country where you can re-download them then have you not got a backup of your content ? If not you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

    When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
    Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
    Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
    There is something to be said for clarity.
    You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
    And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
    That is all.

    When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
    At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
    When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
    File > Duplicate
    File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
    Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
    Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
    I posted several times a script editing this resource.

  • My computer crashed and I saved my songs to a folder. now that I have new comp with itunes how do I transfer the songs back into itunes while keeping the titles in tact?  When they transferred back in only about half of them had the titles listed.

    I want to transfer my songs from the old iTunes that I saved toi the new iTunes on my computer from a file I saved and keep the song titles in tact. how do I do this.?

    It is probably not wise to leave your e-mail and phone number on a public forum.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    You purchase one download only.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

    For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)  Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3  Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3  You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

  • I can't open Adobe files and keep getting this message: "Adobe failed to connect to the DDE server" - anyone got a fix for this? I'm Windows 7, 64bit running Office 2010 Pro Plus - anyone got a fix for this?

    Forgot to mention I'm using Firefox V.4

    Hey Jorge,
    I've checked Reader, and there are no updates. I've run a Windows version compatibility test - although it only goes up to Vista, and not Windows 7.
    Anyway, it appears I can now open Adobe files - but I've found another issue: when I right-click on a file and scroll down to the 'send to email recipient', it doesn't automatically open an Outlook email with the file as an attachment - in fact it doesn't open Outlook at all, let alone automatically?
    Any clues?

  • I can't open pps files with FF4. I have Powerpoint Viewer installedAny suggestions?

    I can open Powerpoint (pps) files with Google Chrome but not Firefox 4. How do I get FF4 to associate pps files with the Powerpoint Viewer that is installed on my computer?

    Many thanks!!!  This works and is probably the best fix for now.  Thank you!!!

  • Can't open my files.

    I just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest version of Pages.  Now I can't open my files on iCloud.  I get a message that says:  File type can't be opened.  Thoughts?

    Same for me. I can open them on the iCloud beta web app, but not on regular pages. Everything is updated to the latest OS X and Pages version.

  • I can't open any files w/ XI

    I have W7 and NIS.   Ever since I installed Xi I can't open any files.   I am having problems updating windows also.

    What exactly means "can't"?  Can you open Reader by itself?
    Try the following: using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader), then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement.

    I have 2 ipods,one for music and the other for old time radio shows.Each had their own file.My computer crashed and I had to buy a new one.Now both ipod files are merged into one.How do I seperate them on the computer?

    Hi Craig
    Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
    You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

    You are in luck, Refer to this recent post by tt2, on recovering media using 3rd Party Software.
