I was uninstalling some unused programs and I accidentally deleted something beginning with AMD.

I noticed it as soon as I hit yes.

now I can't drag any pictures from my desktop into my email like I used to be able to.... like an hour ago.

Is this something I can reinstall?

Click the System Restore button. ...

Click the Next button. ...

Select the restore point to revert changes.

Thank you again.

I won't accidentally uninstall anything again.

4. Did you delete, or uninstall? It could be in your recycle bin. If it is, just hit restore. n/t

7. It is likely a driver that you removed. If you had created a restore point, u could restore.

Use the search bar to find restore points. U may have done so.

Worse comes to worse, u may just want to find out what is missing and reinstall the relevant drivers.

Anyone have any recommendation on how icy can find the log that might contain the name of the file they deleted? This is the extent of my skill.

Don’t sweat it, u will get it fixed, or reinstall and get back to what u need to do. Breathe and don’t make it worse

8. Do you have an AMD graphics card on your computer?

You can reinstall the drivers

Which operating system are you running? Nvm ... I see you are using 10 ..

Still ... the question regarding graphics card is valid

Doggone this computer.
What's wrong, Fred?
Oh, it keeps doing what I tell it to do, not what I want it to do.
