After System Restore Windows XP behaves strangely, said wininet.dll must be installed
My computer was slow, so I did system restore at an early date. The system worked better, so I system restored recently. Now the computer will just go up to my screensaver. Does not start. I can access taskmaster; but I am unable to run anything or to find beginning. I have been informed that wininet.dll must be installed. How can I restart or restore this computer. I have windows XP.
Hi ThomasCline,
Try to boot your pc in safe mode to see if it works properly. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222
If everything works properly in safe mode, you need to configure your pc in clean boot mode. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
If all above fails, try running the SFC, you are able to open the Task Manager, click application-> new task & Type-> sfc / scannow-> ok
You will also need your cd of windows xp for this repair.
I hope this helps...

Impossible to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection after system restore
Hello
a program has been uninstalled (Symantec Endpoint Protection)
After have rebooted and still have problems to install a newer version, I decided to do a system
Restore prematurely, I uninstalled the original version.
(Since I couldn't find the installation files or my license info)The old version worked again. Now I am able to start the
new version, the old version will not uninstall.It just sits there in a small box with a bar saying Windows of progression
in the configuration of Symantec Endpoint Protection and it remains as it
for as long as I left, at least 25 minutes.I thought that the system restore would put things back exactly as they
have been, but it's apparently not the case.OT: Impossible to uninstall after system restore
Any ideas on that?
The OS is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit 64-bit.
I found this, but have not yet tried.
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall/en-usI was able to cirumvent the problem by a selective startup in Msconfig.
I disabled all startup items, all services not MS, restarted and then uninstalled
successfully. However, I met another strange problem.
After uninstalling old version, I rebooted (the system was still selective
startp) I put a new restore point and installed the new version successfully.
Later, realizing msconfig has been arrived at "selective", I went and
has tried to return to Normal startup. However, when you select normal
and hit 'apply', it immediately jumps to selective. I have never seen it before.
I didn't know how to solve.
Instead, I uninstalled the new version of the AV program, jumped to the restore point
I did before I installed, rebooted, open Msconfig and have been correctly set up
In normal mode. Then reinstalled the AV.
Everything is OK now.
You ever heard of this problem of msconfig before?

Update and Service Pack installation after system restore
Hello
I am a Customer Service representative your question for Windows XP. Here's the issue: System Restore will be restoring all the Service Packs and updates installed Windows XP on a Windows XP computer or at - it need to reinstall everything after the system restore?
Please enlighten us on this issue.
Thank you.
a factory restore is not identical to a windows system restore.
While a restore of windows re - interrupts the previous versions of the system and program files
a factory restore is the original state of the computer at the same time that he has left the factory.
so a factory restore will wipe the hard drive and then re-install all software provided with the computer original.
to this end, if a faulty the system restore windows to make the system functional again, then the restoration of the factory is the ultimate option to make the system work again.
the only way to solve a software problem is sometimes with the method above. However, the method above can not solve the problem below.
in return is that a windows system restore or a factory restore can overcome problems related to defective hardware.
in any case, keep in mind that, before executing a factory restore, the user must copy their personal files and email boxes and internet Favorites before performing this procedure.

system not recognize fonts after system restore
my system crashed and had to do a full system restore. I had 4 great programs that I use in my business (graphic arts) and 100 of fonts that all recognized. I used "navigator of police" to ensure that I had only 4 or 5 fonts loaded at once, but as already said 'ALL' my fonts were recognized and actually loaded 2 times (because my list of fonts was extreemly long in all programs on my system, i.e. of photoshop, sony vegas, Word, Fireworks, etc.).
Back to the problem, when reinstall programs on my system, I started to do the msg of error indicating that my registry was too full and reduce the amount of fonts in my registry. Huh???????????? What this means and why can I not load fonts in the system as they were only 72 hours ago?
Help! I have a wedding program for design and cannot access my fonts!
What was the FULL and EXACT error message? I've never seen an error message saying the registry was too full before - and the fonts are not actually stored - they are in the Directory Windows/Fonts (although some that are used can be there). If you have done a system restore complelte (which I assume you mean own installation) all fonts you added would have been removed in the process and you would only have the fonts that come with Vista. You will need to re - install fonts as well as the registrywould have been recreated with the fonts folder. If you are talking about a system restore then you only needed to reinstall all the programs installed between now and the restore point - not all of them. I'm a bit confused.
You have more than the original set of fonts in the fonts directory by chance - check if it contains only those that come with Vista or that you have since re-installed. If you have done a system restore and a recovery system, they should stilll be there and nothing should change.
Please explain exactly what you were doing and answering other questions above in your response. You have now or have you ever used any product of Registry Booster, cleaner or Fixer?
Thanks and good luck!

critical error after system restore and windows updates
I cleaned up my old computer and did a system restore. Subsequently, I have install windows to perform automatic updates. The computer detected 37 windows updates and install them. After a successful windows install update, the computer said I had to reboot so I did. Now the computer tries to start but then comes a blue screen with a bunch of text and then said: critical error. I tried to do a system restore, and when I get to the part, he begins to restore and gets to 13% and then says critical error and I have tried to try again, but nothing happens. Stuck... Please advise.
If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a repair system restore / boot:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

Windows Vista - what should I do after system restored?
My home edition vista recently will not start. After I turned it on, it loads for a while and stops automatically. I tried pressing some buttons for example F2, F8, F10 function for repair and recovery, and it is able to load the previously saved startup page. After that I turned it off, it cannot start again. I tried twice on the recovery of reparation and restored successfully, but now the repair and recovery seems no longer works.

Temporary profile after system restore
Recently I did a system restore on my Pavilion dv4-2145dx with Windows 7 and now I can't connect to my main profile. The OS just me in connecting to a profile temporary and said "try to connect later. I rebooted the computer since then. The system allows me to type my password with the profile picture on the Windows login screen, but it always puts me in a temporary profile.
For some reason any, that your user profile is damaged, the fastest way to recover is to try a previous restore point or create a new user account and migrate the old to the new. Remove the old user account after you are satisfied with the other, a week or two later.
This article is for XP, but is very similar to Vista and W7, scroll down until ""to a new user profile " "

I need to do a restore of the entire system with disc received from factory.but that I have personal files and folders that I need keep.such as banking, contacts, photos, ect. ect. How do I put them on a dvd a restore then their return after the full system restore
Hello
If the system still boot and CD/DVD Burns just put in a DVD-R (write once) or DVD - RW (burn
several times)-it will encourage - when its ready use Windows Explorer to drag and drop files (and
their content) on the DVD. When you're ready, click BURN. I would like to make a couple of each DVD for
Security with redundancy. These will not be encrypted and you can access the files out of them or
subsequently copy on a hard drive.Basically, make sure you know what you want to copy the files and put them in a blank DVD to write.
---------------------
If the system does not start, then you will need to put the drive in another computer or in a
External enclosure USB so you can copy files to removable media.---------------------

Action Center does not detect Avast Anti-virus after system restore
I had to do a system restore to a point a few days earlier due to some bad drivers. After you get things restored, I found that the Action Center are most recognized Avast (free version) as my anti-virus software. It is fully updated and running and work very well. I tried several suggestions available online, including suggestions on the avast website to check the consistency of the standard WMI (https://support.avast.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=580&nav=0, 1.20). I also checked that there isn't an underlying virus and tried to 'fix' the installation of Avast in the menu programs and features, as well as a few reboots. Nothing has worked. This PC is only about two weeks, and everything worked well until the bad drivers and system restore.
I came here as a last resort... Any help is appreciated.
Don't know if this will work for you, but last night I ran a scan with Avast and this morning that action Center of the window said Avast was running but according to Avast started it was running. Then I disabled the Avast shields then turned on their return and Action Center were more like Avast is not running

Hello
Before that I brought my computer - not that I tap on now - in a shop three weeks back, I did a system restore to this subject with two Windows 8 recovery disks. While the computer was that I heard bad things about the shop of my neighbours, which course is the repairman recovered data on his computer and put a virus on his desk. In any case, I'll be back the computer tonight and even if I did the factory restore before you import it in, I did another one with the same two tonight recovery disks. After the installation is complete, I decided to turn the computer off and continue the download of applications, etc., tomorrow, but it would not turn off:
Instead, I got the following message and wonder what it means, especially if the same computer repairer could put a virus on my desk as he did my neighbor.
He said that he could not close because it detected EXCEPTION UNKNOWN SOFTWARE and he gave the number according to 0xe0434352 saying that it occurred in the location 0x170389cc
Anyone know what these numbers mean? I now do another reset of my computer, but this time of the computer itself, not the recovery disks.
How can I find out, once again, if a virus has been on the registry office, etc., while the computer is out of my care?
Thank you
Thanks for the information. I did another restore of factory and the machine booted correctly without these messages; However, I can make the safe mode boot / clean anyway. Never understood why go in safe mode allows, but will try.
Thank you

Cannot run some programs after system restore to remove the virus
Hello
Toshiba my duaghter had a nasty virus that pretends to be an antivirus software product, which sneaked in, between the time his default service Norton has expired and I had the time to install Trend.
Can not remove it using trend, so on the advice of a friend, decided to make a windows system restore to a point before the infection. It worked successfully and the virus has disappeared, but now she can't run some programs, I tried to reinstall Trend, but fails because he says you must first uninstall Norton. But I can't run Norton, or uninstall, and certain folders on C: are no longer accessible.
I have to do a full restore of the Toshiba System (IE back tofactory settings? This seems a drastic measure, but the issue is beyond my meager knowledge of PC.
Thank you
Graeme
Hey Buddy,
Hmm... This announcement is a bit confusing... Maybe the programs you want to say were installed after the system restore point, who knows?
In my opinion you must reset the laptop configuration that you have already written. This will restore the pre-installed Windows version where everything is working correctly and that all the drivers and tools are installed.
Therefore, you only need the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. This will restore the factory settings.
Check this box!

DV6 - 6153cl drivers for biometric devices missing after system restore
Hello
I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6153cl Entertainment PC with Windows 7. I used the fingerprint reader, since I have my laptop. The scanner has stopped working.
Background: two weeks ago, I downloaded the latest version of Norton 360 (Version 21.1.1.7), which caused my laptop to keep crashing every few hours. After much time consulting technical support, I did a system restore to a few days before the new version download then downloaded the version of Norton 360 and active. This solves the problem of crash.
Problem: After restoring the system, my fingerprint reader no longer works. By control panel > all Control Panel items > biometric devices, "Windows do not have the biometric devices on this computer. You will need to attach your device or install device drivers. "Can someone tell me what are the correct drivers that I need and where to find them?
Thanks for your help!
Hello
First of all, download and reinstall the driver Validity Sensor on the following link.
http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55109.exe
Once completed, restart the laptop.
If it still not works, you may also need to reinstall HP SimplePass on the link below.

Equium L10-142: no sound after system restore
Hi there I got a Toshiba Equium laptop since May / June ' 05 (the model on the bottom is EL10-142, so I guess that its a L10?) Never had a problem with it until it completely crashed at Christmas. A friend who is a computer enthusiast has got completely restored back to factory settings by using his Toshiba A60 Back Up Disk (the software provided with it is not found) and downloading the drivers from the Web from Toshiba site.
Now, he works very well except one thing. There is no sound.
I tried all suggestions from the Microsoft Assistant help regarding no sound, ensuring that the FN Esc key had not accidentally pressed, the Volume Module in the control panel was all upturned and not cut, ANY - but to no avail.
There are a few drivers who must always be installed (did not really a clue where to get them going on the site of Toshiba does not give me and his work and do everything I need OK so Im not bothered) so I though maybe that was the problem, but oddly when I went into the thing of drivers Diagnostics He said that the Realtek AC97 driver has been installed and working properly.
Help!
I don't see what there is to do to fix this and it was definatley caused by thte system restore, as his was not a problem before the great crash.
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
E.
Wait a minute; you said that your friend used the recovery CD Toshiba for the A60 Equium L10on!
I m not surprised that noise does not appear. You cannot use a form of another laptop recovery CD!If you haven t the recovery CD right you need to order or you will install the operating system from the Microsoft Windows CD and then you download the drivers from the Toshiba driver page:
