Another longer message in a sseperate box said

Doing a search using Everything I found that the missing file exists
in several places on the computer, either on C or Z.
(Z is my SSD for data.)

I do have a clone of the system that is a couple of months old and
wonder if I would copy the missing file from the appropriate folder of
the clone and copy it to the current drive in use.

Would this solve the problem?

Thanks for any help.


I have exhausted myself for the night.

When it rains it pours as I had job reports to submit tonight and my
email outfit spent a lot of time before realizing that they had a
problem not with rejecting my attempts to send mail but with Outlook
in general. 2 hours shot.

Unable to find anything on my system called GeForce experience and it
might not be loaded as although I have 2 pretty fast cards I don't do
games so it would be of no use to me.

Successfully copied the missing file to the SSD from an old clone and
so that part of the problem is solved but the message

"Z\Users\xxxxx\Desktop refers to a location that is unavailable
persists."

I am thinking that a shortcut on my desktop for user A refers to a
file on the Z drive and that halts everything. Why that would be so
sort of surprises me along with the fact that Firefox, Agent and a
host of other programs can only be run from the folder containing the
exe file.

In any event I have a fairly recent cloned C drive in the bank vault
and will retrieve it tomorrow and see if it will work. Fortunately all
my really important stuff, including all my emails are on the Z drive.
Thanks to Paul for suggesting that in a post so long ago I don't
remember when he said it was a good idea.

For some reason I had turned off system restore. No idea why except to
say it must have been thought a good idea at the time.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
