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.

Hello

2. have you done any change in software on the computer lately?
3. have you installed a third-party backup software?
4. do you have Norton or McAfee installed?

    Hello

    Sorry for the late post. I don't try to back up or restore. I just want to create a restore point.

    Netherless, I followed the advice on this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistasecurity/thread/37160397-349e-4aa2-992e-1ffe58b5e51e and renamed the SR file in %windir%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SystemRestore to SR.sav and can create restore points successfully. 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?

    Please kindly answer. Thank you

    If you have any software backup as totalrecovery pro 9 or norton ghost, they prevent you from creating a manual restore point.  I have 9 pro full recovery and everything I do is to disable the Recovery Manager when I want to create a manual restore point.  There is no problem with system restore points created they work very well it is the manual of who are the problem.

    I highly recommend that you do not have it.

    Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
    registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
    do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
    What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
    have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
    delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
    It can have.

    Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html
    and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099
    and also
    http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
    use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
    problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
    the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
    cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
    the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
    benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
    good deal.

  • create a system restore point cases printers stop working

    I have two HP printers (Laserjet 1536dnf & Officejet 6500) installed on a PC running Win7 64-bit.  Until January, they worked very well after Win7 updates (restore point created automatically).  Since then, any time a system restore point is created I lose access to these two printers.  By clicking on "Devices and Printers" opens the window and the progress bar goes to infinity with nothing found and the process must be closed with the Task Manager.  Printers are not accessible, but no error message appears.  Any reference to a printer causes this particular process hang and must be closed with the Task Manager.

    Both printers are wired Ethernet to Cisco E3000 router and are set up to be shared in the same home group.  Oddly, a second PC in Win7 that is connected via Ethernet to the same router, using the same two printers can create the system restore points without any impact on these two printers.  The main difference between the two is that the PC works an AMD based system, while the affected uses a system based on Intel.

    Printer is restored when I restore the system since early January restore point.  Any later restore point using simply reproduces the problem. I have searched the FAQ and forum but can find no cure.

    Hi Amundarken,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and thank you for the opportunity to help you.

    After the description of the problem, looks like HP printers (Laserjet 1536dnf & Officejet 6500) stop working after you have created a restore point system.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following question:

    You receive an error message or error code?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: You can check the status of the Printer Spooler service after you have created a restore point system, if the Printer Spooler service is not started and then start the service and check:

    A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.

    To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.

    To change or restart the print spooler service, you must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps:

    a. click Startand then click Control Panel.

    b. double-click Administrative Toolsand then click Services.

    c. double-click the Printer Spooler service, and then change the startup type to Automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.

    d. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click Start in the area of The State of the Service .

    Method 2: You can update the printer drivers and check if it works.

    See the following articles from Microsoft for more information on the update of drivers:

    Update drivers: recommended links

    I currently have problems with my Toshiba A305 S6905. This is the webcam does not work. I tried everything, including the installation/uninstallation of drivers, it was working a week ago. So I decided to go back to a system restore point, just to see if I installed something wrong.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    System Restore affects file system of Windows, programs and registry settings. It can also make changes to scripts, files, batch and other types of executable files on your computer.

     
    Note

    System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file. If you have backups of your files, you can restore files from a backup.

    After installing Norton 2010 Security Suite, my hp officejet pro 8500 printer stopped printing. When I tried to do a system restore, I found that I had only a restore point and that was created after the installation of Norton.

    Under XP, I had restore points created every day, automatically.

    How to configure the creation of automatic system restore points in Windows 7 Pro?

    Hello Mikeoncamano,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site

    Turn on or turn off System Restore

    System Restore regularly changes made to your computer's system files and uses a feature called system protection to create restore points. System protection is turned on by default on the hard disk that Windows is installed. You can enable restoring the system for other disks by turning on system protection for these disks.

    You can not turn on protection system for a disc is formatted by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems.

    To turn on System Protection

    Open system by clicking Start , right-clicking computer, and then click Properties.

    In the left pane, click system protection.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Under Parameters of Protection, click the disk, and then click Configure.

    Do one of the following:

    To be able to restore system settings and previous versions of files, click on restore system settings and previous versions of the file.

    To be able to only restore previous versions of files, click only restore previous versions of files.

    Click OK, and then click OK again.

    Kind regards

    It will create automatically restore points when there are changes to the computer or Windows.

    Disable your Norton protection system and check if she created the restore point...
