How to Fix Folders and Files in Pen drive Not Visible

Can't find the files you stored in the removable media? Either you are infected by a virus (let's call it "the Folder Thief" for now) or you have deleted them accidently. If there are no files on the device visible, first check it's properties and find out if any disk space is used. If you see no space is used, there is no data on the media. If you accidently deleted, you can use some recover utility like Power Data Recovery to restore the deleted files. Just make sure you don't erase the data by overwriting the free space till you recover data. That's the case of the data loss. The general case has ended, now we're talking Windows.

How To Fix Photoshop not Loading Images

Photoshop is the perfect software for editing pictures. Photoshop CS5 is not working well in low end systems without the correct preferences. Sometimes the images are not loaded or it is not displayed correctly (when we open images in Photoshop).It can be fixed by changing the performance preferences. But this won’t do any good if your system doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for running Photoshop CS5. Open Performance settings from Edit>Preferences>Performance. Set the Memory Usage to a value suggested in the ideal value. And for the History & Cache, the default would be enough.
