• How can I disable "volume shadow service" on windows 7

  I would like to disable VSS on a computer that we use as a terminal. I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit system. I disable it in Services, but my event log fills up with error messages for Volume Shadow Service stating that the service cannot be started.

  Hello

  It is possible to disable the Volume Shadow Copy Service using the Microsoft Management Console. However, you should not do this. VSS disabling negatively affect all software you are using that depends on, like Windows Server backup and system restore.

  Reference:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-in/library/ee923636 (v = ws.10) .aspx

  If you need help disabling the service, I'd recommend posting your query in the TechNet Forums.

  You can restart the service by clicking the Windows Orb on the taskbar, the type of 'services' in the search field.
  Right click on the 'Services' entry that appears, and then click "Run as Administrator". You can ask your password or to OK action.
  Locate the service "Volume Shadow Copy" in the list on the right, right-click and select "Start" to start the service.

• Volume shadow copy error after moving to MSATA SSD on R7 - 572

  A while back I cloned the value default 1 TB SATA drive on an MSATA SSD plugged into the slot unit MSATA.

  At the time I had been unable to conceive the MSATA as boot drive, while the original (also bootable drive) was in the system such that it does not appear in the BIOS from startup list.

  http://community.Acer.com/T5/S-and-R-series-laptops/cloned-SSD-in-Boot-Manager-but-not-boot-priority...

  As I did not need the 1 TB, I just removed and have used the system very well with just the MSATA SSD.

  Today, I tried to make an Image of Windows backup system and ran a (below) Volume shadow copy error

  Volume shadow copy service operation failed. (0x807800A1)

  Writer has encountered a transient error... (0x800423F3)

  I check all the main remedy online by ensuring that all VOlume shadow copy served are running, but without success. I feel that the fact that I'm on the SSD MSATA which was not visible in the list of the BIOS boot maybe being tied to the backup crashing.

  Anyone running the R7-572 on the MSATA port that is able to make a system image backup?

  Thanks for your comments

  It took me awhile, but I finally understood what was preventing the creation of the image of the system.

  Looking at the event viewer, he had a lot of mistakes, the first mistake we a CAPI2 with event 513, then it was a VSS error with event ID 8228 stating an invalid character in an XML file.

  Error says:
  Do not parse the XML file.
  Reason, an invalid character was found in text content.
  Line 0x000003c0
  Position 0x000009c8, the file below is damaged.
  0xc00ce508 error code
  Text problem<>

  Search through dozens of threads and try a number of bugs without success, I finally found one who mentioned their question came from bad characters in the names of partition after cloning with EaseUs Todo backup.

  It's the tool that I used to clone my drive to a SSD, I decide to check it out.

  The thread mentioned using GPT fdisk utility found on sourceforge, so I downloaded the tool.

  You just run the executable in administrator mode. Find how to use it was a little hard, but basically the commands below does the job

  0:-enabled disk 0, which is my drive.

  I - to view the information on each partition

  It will ask you the number. This allows you to see the names. Some of my partitions had some very strange names did not, we had a quote.

  I checked what names when used on another laptop and decided to appoint mine as follows (I think you can use any name)

  first 600 MB partion: database partition

  Second partition of 300 MB: EFI system partition

  Thrid 128 MB partion: Microsoft Reserved partition

  Fourth 205GB partition: partition database

  Fifth 17 GB partition: partition recovery

  To change the name of the partition, use the command

  c ask for the number of the partition, then the name

  Then save with

  w - written revisions and outputs

  I rebooted, tried the system image backup and no problem this time.

  I lost a full day on this topic, so I hope it can help someone else in the future

  Hello

  Sometimes a reboot will fix this. You can also try a system restore to a point before it started happening
  If possible. And it could be damaged.

• Windows 7: error 5 (access denied) when you try to start the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) service

  System: Win 7 Ultimate x 64 on a HP Pavilion DV6. My account is the user account only suitable on the laptop and an administrator account.

  When you try to do a system restore, it came with an error that the Volume Shadow Copy Service did not work, even if this error code is not relevant for the purposes of this question later, I managed to run the system restore in SafeMode to an old restore point...

  When you try to turn on VSS, I checked services.msc (which I ran as administrator) and VSS was off and on the manual. I tried clicking on start, the following error message came:

  "Windows didn't start the Volume shadow copy on the Local computer service."
  Error 5: access is denied. »

  I then switched to automatic and tried again, same error. I tried since everything I can possibly think (including the definition of back and forth between manual & auto then trying the solutions below) to get the service starts, nothing helps. The solutions tried so far:

  -net start vss high cmd - returns the same error (error 5 access is denied)
  -high vssvc.exe cmd - same
  -changed the full control permissions for me, the group admin and NETWORK SERVICE (that I had to add) to the System32 folder and vssvc.exe but no change
  -changed the permissions to full control for myself, admin and NETWORK SERVICE group (who even once, I must add) for VSS in regedit (open as administrator) still nothing
  -even tried to restart explorer.exe a high cmd and a task manager high and again made the permissions - still nothing.

  The only thing I haven't done is run a sfc scan, but tbh, I doubt that will fix anything. It also seems that VSS has been turned off for a while, as my last restore point was about 3 months ago and I installed things since.

  Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, because I'm going nuts with that now! Thank you!

  The Volume Shadow Copy Service must not be on auto-start.

  According to the site TechNet Microsoft VSS THAT was introduced with Windows XP SP1 and since that time it has always installed as manual start since he does not need to be started automatically and it works day and night to do nothing.  Some places say different times when VSS has been introduced, but be sure that it was a long time ago.

  A popular site to see how Windows Services should / could be put in place is here:

  http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/

  If you've read about VSS on Microsoft TechNet, it says:

  

  https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927 (v = ws.10) .aspx

  So do you think the MS TechNet site is fake and that each installation of Windows since XP has a badly installed VSS Service?  If that were the case all Windows systems in the world would be in trouble.

  On an unafflicted system if you open the services applet and observe the VSS Service, it should look like this:

  

  So if you start a backup operation or even create a Restore Point, go back to the Service applet and press F5 to refresh you'll see that the VSS Service changed its status to start:

  

  Once the operation is complete the VSS Service will stop itself (it may take a while).

  That's how it is supposed to work.

  We should certainly be able to affect the automatic VSS Service and you should be able to start, but you shouldn't need to.  People who say that "solved their problem" forgets to mention the days/weeks to try things that lead to get their system of work.  There is no way of knowing which of the dozens of things that they could have tried really solved the problem.

  You say that the system restore worked in Mode safe (but not a normal startup) and if it is true that means usually something to load in a normal trunk causing a problem and that something is usually an antivirus/antimalware application that is 'protect' your system against the changes.  When you start mode safe these things are usually not loaded this is why sometimes your system restore mode without failure.

  Contributors known for these programs are Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and probably others.

  So what antivirus/antimalware programs you are running and have checked their support pages for known problems with backup/restore system restore?

  Norton has even a page about these issues:

  https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us

  Even McAfee told their product to uninstall completely before doing a system restore:

  "Intel Security recommends that you remove McAfee security products before to proceed with an upgrade of the operating system or the Microsoft System Restore and then re-install your McAfee product when the update/restore is complete. "
  

  So I assumed that whatever your AV program happens to be could be part of the issue here - but we don't know what it is.

  We know error 5 is a permissions/access denied error type, but you shouldn't make adjustments to get VSS to start if something is wrong.  If as you have tried adjustments have been necessary every Windows system in the world should also make these adjustments and coming is not past.

  Of course, now, your system might be more affected since you've been changing permissions on the things trying to VSS to start when there is probably not a problem with VSS in the first place, so who knows what condition are in now.

  You could start by uninstalling what your AV software (most manufacturers have a special program for that) and by eliminating third-party applications that are known to interfere.  You can always reinstall them again later, no?

  How can I disable Picasa so that when I save my images from the camcorder, or export them to the library that they enter my Windows instead of Picasa library.
  I can't find an option in Picasa to do this.

  Hi mate

  If you connect the camera to the laptop, then a window should appear providing some options. There, you can choose Microsoft Windows own option that allows you to transfer pictures and movies on the HARD drive.

  Another way to do is to directly access the data that is stored on SD card.
  After you connect the camcorder to the laptop, you will see the camera in MY computer.
  Go the camcorder and see the folder on the SD card.
  You will find a folder with pictures and movies.
  Then just copy and beyond these files to your laptop

  How can I disable compacting of emails, I'm some lose every time I compact.

  You can't turn it off, and if you could, you would lose all your messages eventually. You can have a file corruption, and I would advise to create a new identity.

  You may have a damaged identity especially if it's the default main identity. File | Identity | Add the new identity. Create a new one and try it. If all goes well, you can import your messages and address book from the old identity and delete it.

  Note: Do not use the main word in the name of the new identity.

  About file Corruption:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

  Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

  Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

  See:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

  If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

  For more information, see the information framed in red here:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  And backup often.
