How can I restore it to work again? Ity will restore to any point of control.

I tried to use Restrore at each checkpoint blackened.   The message says: "cannot be restored to this point of control."

As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

What is your system brand and model?

What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

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)?  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

Have you ever used the system restore to restore your system in the past?

Describe exactly what happens when you try to perform a system restore and the error messages you see which indicates that it does not work.

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:

http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013

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.

Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  • How can I get these buttons working again?

    Hey guys, I formatted my Y650 and got all my drivers/buttons working again EXCEPT these buttons. Should what software/drivers I install to get this working?

    Link to photo

    Thank you

    Note of the moderator; Photo > 50K converted to create a link

    Share my discoveries, can be useful for someone else...

    1. with "Lenovo\Energy Management\start_utility.exe" (utility.exe) running the Volume buttons / Mute will not work on Windows 7. Order of start up programs is not serious. Tried to stop all processes of Lenovo - buttons work, run the exe file - do not work.

    2. There is a dependency to start between 'Lenovo\OnekeyDM\OnekeyDM.exe' and 'Lenovo\Energy Management\Energy Management.exe. DM must be started before EM, otherwise OneKey Theater button will not work. To resolve this problem, I did the following steps:

    2.1 installed tool Startup Delayer (freeware, there a lot of them, don't remember how special I used).

    2.2 set DM to start before EM with a delay of 2 seconds to do the work key OneKey Theater.

    After that, I work Volume / Mute, OneKey Theater buttons in Windows 7, however nice windows icons of Lenovo to change volume/brightness do not appear (because we have removed the Windows Autorun "Lenovo\Energy Management\start_utility.exe"). However, I think that this Mute button is more important to you, right?

  • How can I get my printer working again?

    If Microsoft, you did for me once again!

    An hour ago I tried to scan a document on my Lexmark 5650 4 in 1 printer. All of a sudden Microsoft Update came and downloaded the new drivers AUTOMATICALLY!

    First off the coast of the update has bee turned off for about two years now, because of all the grief it has caused in the past, so why he suddenly came I cannot explain, but I digress...

    NOW MY PRINTER WON 'T FUNCTION AT ALL, it will not copy, print or scan and there is no locking up on top of me.

    I tried to run a system restore to return to a time before the update, but does not either because it says that my antivirus program interfere with the restoration. I disabled the antivirus and tried to restore again.   NO LUCK.

    WHAT DID YOU DO FOR ME?

    Help, please!

    Thanks for all the help guys. I ended up going to my internet security technical support to solve this problem, they did online with assistance remotely.

    Unfortunately, the internet security company had recently made an upgrade and where they used to have their own firewall they now use Windows Firewall and imported their own settings. There lied the problem, the firewall was blocking all communication between the computer and the printer/scanner.

    It's fixed now, thanks.

    Hello

    This is probably the result of malware then do a very thorough check and when the
    the system is clean see the following message to remove this error.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to do a thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect the cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malicious software is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove the payload. So its best to be now too thorough than paying the high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run the in the Windows when you can.

    John,

    AdobePDF.dll is in the file Data1.cab. Mine is located in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional\ You need to extract the file "AdobePDF.dll_64" from the .cab file. You can do this with WinZip or 7-Zip. Everything you need to extract is this file, nothing else... Once you have extracted it, remove the _64, so the name of the file is AdobePDF.dll. Then place the file in any location you want and run the program it when asked. For a file location, I suggest to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat8\

    Hope that helps.
