Failed to create the restore point: XP Sp3; System Restore is on

Found this on a friends PC trying to go back to a previous restore point and didn't find any.

  • System/enabled - system restore properties shows it monitors the drive C (the only one)
  • Run ChkDsk & reboots
  • Searched and found, System Volume Information, hover over the shows as empty
  • System Restore reinstalled by right click on c:\Windows\inf\sr.inf and choice of installation
  • I tried Safe Mode option but to create a Restore Point is missing
  • Tried to reboot f8 last good known configuration, still the same
  • Tried to search the Web but without success except one referring to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-System-CurrentControlSet-Services------VxD-VxDMon, but this does not exist in the registry!
  • No relevant event in the event log

OK, so I'm out of ideas now! Can someone please shed some light on this?

Thank you very much

What works has been uninstall IE8.

Windows search, System Restore and the laminates in IE6 now work correctly.  The re installation of IE8 then worked with everything works well in the end.

Thanks for the helpful tips.

  • Failed to create the restore point

    Hello

    I think I can off the coast caused a problem if I ever recover my laptop which is a Pro L450D phone by changing the settings in the system protection box in windows 7.

    I was looking to create a restore point before I upgraded to Windows 7 with service pack 1 and in the creation and restore area I noticed that 3 disks were available to have system protection turned on but only 1 was actually activated system protection? OS Install (C) had no active protection system and I think the recovery partition, WinRE (D) allowing for the protection system was the system disk, I'm not sure at 100%, but of course the 3rd entrance was my DVD player, in any case what I did I clicked to turn on protection for the disk OS Install (C) and an error pops up saying that it was not possible I clicked on ok and when this error went off the screen I noticed that the drive is now enabled for the protection of the system, but he was now also the system disk? and the 3rd disk seemed to disappeared from the region where the available drives appear? I'm a t a loss as to what happened but I think the worst cases, it's that if I ever want to recover my system through the recovery options, I'm not able to by changing the settings of the system, any help on this will be appreciated, I created the recovery disc when I first bought the laptop before I did anything else still with a bit of luck , I hope that this will be my go out the wrong card if I need to use or restore the system in this way.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi stevieboyfitzy,

    Do you want to create a restore with the built-in Windows software point or what software you used?

    Well, if you are installing Service Pack 1 I put t he of needed to create an additional restore point. I installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 on both my notebooks and installation was operating normally, no problem.
    In addition, I would like to make a backup of all important files on an external drive such as USB HDD.

    If you have already created the Toshiba Recovery disk that you are on the safe side. In the case where I would go something wrong, you are always able to restore the original settings. ;)

    MARKTRAVIS

    Hi Mark,
     
    I appreciate the efforts that you put to publish the query on this forum.
     
    However, it would be better if you can provide some details related to the query:
    (1) is there a third party security software installed on the computer?
    (2) there the restore points that are created on the computer before this problem?
     
    System Restore automatically recommends the last restore created before a significant change like installing a program point.
     
    To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new.
     
    You can also follow these steps to increase the memory allocated for the restoration of the system:
    (a) press Windows and Pause Break to open System Properties.
    (b) click on the System Protection option.
    (c) click on each disc.
    (d) click on Configure.
    (e) check if the allocation of memory on each hard disk is allocated.
     
    The settings above, you can also check if there are restore points available on the computer. Click System Restore, and check if you are able to find restore points.
     
    To solve the problem, if you have installed a third-party security software on the computer, I suggest you temporarily disable and check if it solves the problem.
    Important note: Security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Please let us know about the status of this issue.

  • Failed to create the Conference ' 8801 - Test connection '-duplicate digital id

    Running 13.1 TMS and Codian 8510 SD blade running 4.20 (1.43)

    When I'm planning through TMS using this card, I get the following error:

    Failed to create the Conference ' 8801 - Test connection '-duplicate digital id

    However when I'm planning TMS using another slide with the same version of the software it works

    Can someone tell me why this is happening?

    Anthony

    We had the same problem with > = 20 conferences on the blade, and I can tell you that we had the same thing

    question and the question went after the 4.2 update (1.50) and TMS13.1.2 (if the MCU upgrade)

    alone must fix).

    And, you got the point in your last message, > = 20 conf == problem,.<20 =="no">

    What I have is that the API MCU always reported only the first 20 conferences.

    TMS has created the new conference (and I also saw a new reserved (e) of the Conference on the MCU)

    but TMS checked once again if that's really where went wrong because he was not listed in the breast of the

    first of all 20 and if it failed.

    Codian updates may take some time until the blade is up again after the reboot, so be patient :-)

    Good luck!

    The problem is with the security permissions on the temp of your profile folder. To correct it access %Temp% or C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local and right click the Temp folder and choose Properties, then click the Security tab, and click Advanced.

    On the permissions tab, you should see the permissions that are there. There are 3 that are:

    'SYSTEM' with a total control that applies to "this folder, subfolders and files.

    "Administrators" with full control that applies to "this folder, subfolders and files.

    "Your username" in the full control that applies to "this folder, subfolders and files.

    and all 3 must be inherited from the folder C:\Users\[Username]\.

    If you have the option "Include the permissions that can be inherited from the parent to this object" checked, then check it and click on continue if there are problems, then remove the permissions that are not inherited.

    Once you click on 'Apply' and click 'OK', you must have the permissions to write to the directory and you won't get the error messages more.

    Hope this has solved your problem

    Found the problem and it's nothing to do with users, groups, and permissions of files (tmp or anything else besides!)

    The problem was that I had not put the sysconfig according the upgrade installation Notes & R12.2 for Linux x 86-64 ( note 1330701.1 )

    I guess the bum steer, which gives install them quick - is indicating that the question is a problem of permission of the files in / tmp, when it is not really!

    The only thing I can think is that it uses sysconfig content to add the name of host or domain, the file name, he tries to put in / tmp.

    hope this helps

    Jim
