Hi. I have a 722 receiver and I accidentally deleted everything on the hard drive. I have tried to restore them several times from 'History' but no luck. Please help!!!! Stacyy

Delete your needed files off from your USB hard drive without backups left? What a pity! But, don't worry! In your case, without drive data backups, you also can try to take them all back with data recovery software.
Just follow this video to get your needed stuffs back step by step:

Just back up everything needed well in the future.

It may be because you deleted the file, but it's still in the Recycle Bin (still there taking up space until you clear the Recycle Bin). By your trying to reinstall it, you are essentially adding a second copy and running out of hard disk space. Try double clicking the Recycle Bin and click your image file then click "restore this item". Note however that your almost out of space on your hard drive. Try clearing out the junk. Delete as many file, esp large video and image files, as possible.

Then clear your Recycle Bin and then delete all your temporary Internet files. (In Windows XP it's Start, Control Panel, Internet Options and check Delete. When you get the pop up, check everything you can live without).

Then defrag your hard drive. In Windows XP, open Explorer (right click Start, choose Explorer), goto My Computer, highlight your drive C, right click, choose Properties, click Tools and then "Defragment Now". Could take over an hour if your drive is near full.

Depending on how much you are willing to trash, you could be back in good shape in no time. As a bonus, you should notice your computer running much faster after this.

mike wendt,

Once an event is deleted, we do not have a way to restore it. Since you have a ViP 722 I would recommend hooking up an EHD to the receiver. The external hard drive will allow you to backup recordings, and also provide additional space so you can hold more.

If you have any questions about hooking up an EHD let me know! This link http://www.mydish.com/support/use-ehd can provide more information!

Hi there,
You can try two things.
First: System Restore - System restore will restore your computer on an earlier date/time. you can restore your computer the time before you accidentally delete your webcam. to go to System Restore
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore. (then Select a date/time that the driver is still installed)
Second: Downloading the driver from Manufacturer's Website -you can try to search for your webcams website and look for the download page.
