How can I fix what's wrong with my system restore when it is 'failed' to restore of any "Restore Points?

Well, what is said.  I see all kinds of "restore points", highlighted in the restore calendar page.  But any day or I choose to restore point, the result is the same.  "Unsuccessful system restore" computer is returned to the...  (I don't know how they phrase it exactly, but the key is exactly the way it was when I started with optimism the restore process.)

What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine.
Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

    ===========================================================

    The system has RAID? If so, it's also very suspicious.

    This error is usually a driver problem and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspicious if she
    may be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, equipment (heat) and major software problems
    can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my generic
    methods in the next message and then return to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

    Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
    Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-
    spyware/security programs.

    When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
    update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

    BCCode: 7F 0x0000007E which is also 0x1000007E

    Cause

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
    interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
    the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
    • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
    (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
    has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
    Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

    In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
    • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
    • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
    • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
    or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
    sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
    Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
    in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
    control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
    by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
    device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
    Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
    For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
    Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
    BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
    space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
    the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
    contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
    free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

    Clean all the files on the computer:

    Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

    In some editions of Windows 7, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. These files and images will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, refer to what is system restore?

  • Embedded audio player doesn't work with Firefox in a laptop computer, but works fine on a PC. How can I fix? It started with the new design of Firefox.

    This problem apparently only occurs with the audio player built into http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ . I tried other embedded audio players from other websites and they work fine. In the Firefox installed in my laptop, no matter what I do it does not play the SGU podcast. When I try to click on the download option it says "Video cannot be read because the file is corrupted. However, I can play and download the podcast without any problem with Firefox installed in my PC, which is the exact same version that is in my laptop, so I don't really know what could be the cause.

    I remember that this was not the case before the new design of Firefox. I tried the solutions proposed on this problem before asking this question. I checked that the plugins are up-to-date. I removed all the addons and plugins, and this did not help either. Firefox reset with no luck. Also tried a fresh install of Firefox and it didn't work. I used the laptop without synchronization first, and then synchronize with no difference. Flash is up to date and there is no apparent problems there.

    Maybe it's a codec missing or damaged? I wouldn't trust codecs from sources other than Microsoft for this purpose, since Firefox tries to use Windows to read the file.

    If you decide to give up and around the native player for a plugin, these changes of settings usually work for this:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste media and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) [except XP], double-click on media.windows - media - foundation.enabled to change its value from true to false.

    (4) double click on media.directshow.enabled to change its value from true to false.
