• set a restore point date in the past on Windows Vista

  When I went to do a system restore it have NO restore points saved. I created one, but it only allowed me to create this point to restore to the current date. He asked me to name the restore point and said 'date and time will be added automatically. It defeats the purpose! I'm having the issue now. I need to restore it once already. Windows XP makes it easy. Vista, not so easy. To be precise, I want to create a restore point that has dated June 1, 2010. HOW DO I DO THAT?

  You can't do that.  You cannot create a restore point in the past.  If there is just no saved restore points don't then that is pretty much the end of the line, you won't be able to restore the system.  I recommend to close and restart the computer, be sure that you are in the right place to restore the system, rather than to the place where you create restore points. In Vista and Windows 7 both actions (create a point and restore to a point) are now in different places.  If you are not sure, click on the start ORB, then type system restore in the box to access the System Restore tool.

• Error: System Restore cannot create a restore point.

  When you start System Restore, I get the error message from Web page "line: 166; "Error: unspecified error."  When I continue to try to create a new Restore Point, I get the message "System Restore cannot create a files.  Restart the computer, and restart System Restore. "Restart the computer does nothing for me, it simply again creates the same mistakes.

  3. have you installed a third-party backup software?

• Access is denied. error (0x80070005) when you try to set a restore point.

  Have no point to restore at least two weeks, after I installed a bunch of updates. I am slot Vista 64 bit ultimate and there is 195 GB free on my disk hard, where should I go from there?  In addition, I don't know if it of related or not, but I click right and pulled upward a my Windows folder and size properties window ono said 31.3 GB!  Is - that kind of, well, grossly OBESE for the operating system?  Maybe it's eating my restore points (smile wan)?  I would appreciate any suggestions for a solution!

  Thank you very much for answering.  Well, I did the checkdisk as you suggested, and it took about 3 hours.  Then I tried creater a restore point, and it failed.  I then on a whim rermoved the check I had next to my hard drive 2.  The backup was successful.  I guess that something in the operating system must have changed, because I had set the backup to 2 hard drives for a while, or some other nuance of the establishment.  So I repeat, the problem turns out to e I got over a selected hard drive to back up and which should not in the conditions of backup.  Thank you for your suggestions.

• Shadow Copy Provider cannot create system restore point error Ox8004230F?

  When I try to create a system restore on my Vista operating system, you get the above error message.
  I have entered what has been suggested in the forums and Services.
  What should I do now?
  Thanks for you help.

  When researching other forums via Google, I found this in 'My Digital Life '.  It solved my problem so I post here to help people who may have tried all the "fix - its" that did not work!

  "The error occurs because the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service is stopped or disabled. The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider Service manages shadow copies of volume based on software taken by the Volume Shadow Copy service. If this service is stopped, shadow copies of volume based on software cannot be managed. If this service is disabled, as when you manually disable the snapshot, all services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. "

  The Shadow Copy Provider MS and the shadow copy of Volume must be enabled.  With my problem I'm not far enough to allow the Shadow Copy Provider MS.  When I did, it has allowed me to create a restore point.

  Thank you.

• Can you set a restore point from the system on a disk?

  Can you put a "System Restore" point on a disc? a disc re writable DVD, for example.

  To make it clearer:

  I want to do a restore point for my "C:" drive, but I want it on an external drive as a drive re writable DVD that can be put in the drive "D:" or, Alternatively, a flash drive.

  Is this possible?

  Any help is appreciated thanks :)

  A restore of the system (System Volume Information) file must be on the disk/partition that it protects. Each drive/partition will have its own System Volume Information folder for the recovery of the partition/drive specific. It's the way is designed the o/s, so not impossible to return c to another drive.

  Sorry, but that's the way it works and cannot be changed.

  Good luck!

• Setting System Restore Point works only with Win XP SP2

  I use Windows XP Professional SP2.  My System Restore Wizard does not work.  I am not able to set a Point of restoring using the wizard.   A suggested fix was to disable the system restore and then turn it back on.  This has created more problems because all the previous System Restore Points have been lost.  How can I get my assistant to restore the system to work again?

• Windows Explorer crashes repeatedly on startup and cannot choose a restore point?

  Equipped with Vista 64-bit... Had a problem for a while opening now and then records that have videos in them.  I could open other programs (email, etc.), but not the files with the Solution Explorer or Explorer would crash.  Not a big deal and I did have the time to fix it (no online seemed to know anyway).

  Trying to send two videos to two friends via Skype, somehow shortcuts placed got video on my desktop and Explorer crashed.  Whenever he finishes crashing and returns, it crashes again so I can't even get rid of them by removing their or whatever it is.  It crashes so quickly, that you can not even click on one.

  I tried to reboot (har har) and even in safe mode, what happens.  I tried to go to a system restore, but it tells me that the System Restore Wizard is already running when it is obviously not.  I don't really know what I can do at this point, that the only thing that stops it is the cancellation of the application of Solution Explorer, but then I can't access anything that anyone else.  If only I could get the icons on my desktop, I could solve the problem with the videos, but I can't even get to them to get rid of them.

  Please help, I really need to use this PC this week and I tried almost everything I can think of at my disposal.

  The 'failing module' is the kernel32.dll file, which is a Windows file.

  However, the problem can actually be someone else, possibly from third parties, of the file.

  It may be useful to try to capture a dump of user of the explorer.exe crash mode.

  You can configure Windows to create dumps of user mode. First, create a System Restore Point.

  If you copy and paste the following text in Notepad and save it as a .reg file, then right click on the .reg file and select "Merge" to add to the registry, when the .dmp file explorer.exe plant should be created in the C:\CrashDumps folder:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe]
  "DumpFolder" = hex (2): 43, 00, 3A, 00, 5 c 00, 43, 00, 72, 00, 61, 00, 73, 00, 68, 00, 44, 00, 75,.
  00, 6 D, 00, 70, 00, 73, 00, 00, 00

  
  After Explorer (explorer.exe) crashes, you can, and then make the .dmp file available (provide the link) via Windows Live SkyDrive or similar site?

  The following link has information about the use of Windows Live SkyDrive:

• my recovery disk should have systems set of restore points?

  I use Vista Home premium 32-bit with Vista SP 2

  I noticed that when I go to check on the system restore points created, there are two disks

  Drive C

  Drive D (which is system recovery disk)

  This is the way it shows under system restore

  'Create restorepoints on the selected disk/drive '.
  Player C has a check which means w ill create restore points
  Drive D/drive recovery does NOT have a check, which means NO wll not created restore points

  This is how it should look? This recovery drive has NOT created restore points?

  That's ok.  The recovery disk does not change when you use your computer, so there is no need to restore points.  This drive has been installed at the factory, and its purpose is to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new. Boulder computer Maven

• Cannot set a recovery point.

  Help! I have to do a system restore, but only listed recovery dates are today. I tried to manually create a date, but the computer seems always just to get back to the current date. What should I do?

  If you try to get in trouble after an update, you can try to remove the updates manually:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/remove-an-update

  But if you're having audio problems, you must download and install the latest audio drivers from the website of the manufacturer of the system. If you need help finding the correct driver for your computer, please provide the system manufacturer and model of your computer.

• Manually set a previous Restore Point

  How can I set a system restore point on a date prior to that of the automatic restore point? For example, my current automatic restore point is May 25 and I want to put it to May 21. When I click on the link that allows me to set a restore point, it defines only the point for the current day. It does not give me the option of specifying a particular (and previous) date for my restore point, along with other versions of Windows.

  No win version did have the opportunity to create a restore point for a date that has passed.

  If you mean you want to restore to an earlier period, when the victory of system restore select the box "show more restore points.

  I tried to create on manually, but it still does not work.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I think that it s a question simple operating system possibly a registry issue that s nothing unusual for windows os ;) I had many problems with the windows operating system in the past

  Because of that I always use the 3rd party tools to clean the registry

  I can recommend a CCleaner it s free and in my opinion very good tool that helps to clean the registry
  Maybe you should try it

  PS; What operating system do you use?
