[Simply Computers] Re: Shadow copies? Screenshot to show

 

Hi Becka,

Obviously we can't see what you're seeing, so can you give us a better description?

When you open the document, what is shadowed? ("ghosted")

The document, or the desktop, or just the icon on the desktop, or what?

Does the document open? Can you work with it, or is it ghosted? (partially visible)

Is there a message in the title bar about "Not Responding"?

A shadow copy simply means taking a "snapshot in time" of your files.

Many files won't let you make a backup copy of them while they are active in memory, so doing a shadow copy is a trick to get around that.

However, doing a shadow copy should not cause the problems that I think you are seeing.

But if you give us a better description, perhaps we can help you.
