  • Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

    I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

    Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!

  • After the removal of the malware, no program shows up & not able to perform the system restore.

    original title: System Restore problem.

    I had some kind of malware, a few weeks ago.  I finally managed to get rid of it, but none of my programs, such as Excel, etc. make their appearance.  I tried to use system restore, but it does not actually perform.  I have restore dates showing, but when I try to restore it all is here.

    Let's see here:

    Method 1: How will check if the applications are located in C:\Program Files help?  Excel would not be listed in C:\Program Files anyway.

    Method 2: Which will not help as it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

    Of course, you don't want to throw a Safe Mode and the clean boot in for good measure to check if that helps?

    If you don't recognize the issue and at least have some clues how to solve, why post anything at all (except to include links to KB articles that help at all).

  • Cannot access the system restore

    When you try to use the system restore, it asks which file to open it with, which is something that he has not asked before. After that, he does not use the system restore. In addition, Firefox is the same way and I have to use Internet Explorer. Finally, the control panel behaves as if it does not exist.  I don't know if they are related, but they started after my 'sealed' antivirus 'virus' that appeared while Adobe Reader has been updated... I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

    First of all, if your anti-virus removed viruses/malware you don't want to use system restore. This is likely to give the malicious software on your computer.

    It sounds as if your file associations have been damaged. What makes no sense at all, it is that you are able to open Internet Explorer. Click on the link below. Download the file, save it to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose merge. Confirm your choice to merge.

So I create a restore point, a new SR file is created adjacent to the old (SR.sav)

    However, is it to let the SR.sav file remains in the folder or just delete it? Is it possible that renaming some files to offset it later?

  • Driver went on a pad and perform a system restore, the hardware is not installed but the same problem.

    I have Vista Home Basic. I have a HP printer that whenever I logged in re-installed drivers. So I decided to uninstall all printer and software and re-install fresh. All seemed well and good work but if I restart or stop and come back on the laptop tells me a driver went on a buffer and performs a restore of the system. The system restore seems to work and restores me awhile before I re-installed the printer. But again if I restart or stop it has the same problem. the pilot and buffer. I have not yet installed or reconnect the printer because it restored. I don't know much about computers and I don't know what to do. I wanted to kind of do a clean install of Vista but it comes preinstalled on my laptop so I don't have a disk and that I read removing the drivers does not seem an option.

    Hi ChristopherParvin,

    You did it happen any changes made to the computer before the show?

    Method 1: Try the following steps.
    a. log in your computer using an administrator account.
    b. Click Start and then click Run.
    (c) in the Open box, type regedit and then click OK.
    d. Locate and click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\LPTENUM5. Right click on the registry key and then click on remove.
    e. under confirm delete key, click Yes.
    f. close the registry editor and restart your computer.

    Important:
    this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article: back up the registry in Windows 7

    Method 2: I suggest to install the drivers of clean boot and then restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  • Cannot perform a system recovery

    Hello

    Model: HP Slpit 13 x 2 PC

    Product: E8C34UA #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit

    It is still covered by the warranty.

    My problem:

    A month ago (maybe a little more) my machine automatically did an update and after it was complete, I was able to get the sign in screen but once I signed the I had nothing but a black screen and my cursor. I could not pull up the Task Manager or perform all functions. I was able to restore my computer to an earlier date and used again for about a week before the update is represented and exactly the same thing happened. The second time around I don't have restore points that were before the update for a system restore is absolutely not good. I started in safe mode and tried to make a start clean to see if something can have prevented the update to fill in correctly but not luck.

    I then tried a system restore and it didn't, I don't remember what he said about why she didn't but now all this when I start it is made choose me a keyboard layout, and then choose an option between "continues; Exit and proceed to HP Recovery Manager"'Use of a device'"Use another operating system""Troubleshoot"and"turn off your PC."

    It won't let me even start the machine.

    I fixed it.

    Chose the option "Troubleshooting" and then choose "reset your PC.

    Now it's like factory settings when I bought originally that's what I was looking for. Now, the only problem is that I can't use my keyboard. I'll get a driver.

  • My Vista profiles keep the reset by default, and every time I have to perform a system restore.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.

    I have three user profiles set up, one for my daughter, one for my husband and one for me.

    A week or two there, my daughter connected on his profile to find its bottom screen and bookmarks and office icons had been reset.  I thought nothing of it, just helped get everything set back again.

    Two days ago, I logged on my profile and my husband connected to Siena, to see that all about its profile has been reset to the default value.  All her desktop icons disappeared, his favorites on Firefox were gone, his background has been reset... absolutely all the custom features have been reset.

    I ran system restore, and it resets me up to a point where Paint.net has been updated.  Everything is back to normal, so I stop updates on Paint.net and even blocked his access to the internet using my firewall to prevent it happening again.

    Yesterday I logged in my profile to find that the same thing had happened with mine.  So I ran the restore of the system again, and he suggested that I restore to a point where the updates of Windows has been installed.  I did, and everything went back to normal for my profile.

    Then this morning my husband connects to sound and finds the same problem.  So we did another restore of the system, return to the last update of Windows.  Everything returned to normal.

    I just ran Windows Update, and these are six updates, that it tries to install:

    -Update for Windows Vista (KB976662)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB979306)-
    -Update for Rights Management Services Client for Windows Vista (KB979099)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB976264)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB975929)-
    -Definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.75.1050.0)-

    I thought that one of these updates may be causing the problem, so I just installed and rebooted my pc, but when I logged in all was ok.  This could be the cause?

    If you need more info let me know, thanks!

    Hello

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER
    on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause
    strange problems).

    Also the malware may have a role:

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to
    detect malware is often accompanied by a much more difficult to detect and remove the payload. If its
