• on windows xp, my system restore to a previous restore point. have you tried many restore points & creating new ones but the system does not restore. all the solutions out there?

  on windows xp that my system restore to a previous restore point, I tried many restore points & created new ones but the system displays "could not be restored", any help out there.

  Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

  It's windows xp.

  If we knew more, you would probably now.

  What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

  The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  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, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

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

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  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.

• Help! Windows Vista does not start because of 'ACBRUVI. SYS driver"is bad, can't find my restore points...

  "I tried to post a question on my PC not allowing not windows update to install the latest definitions of security and I don't know there's a virus or a trojan, but before I could get an answer on the forums my computer crashed lastnight and and when I tried to restart, he said that the ' ACBRUVI. SYS' driver was corrupted and contained also the registry as corrupt. So I installed Vista on another partition and I can access the other system files and registry but I tried to restore the registry with a backup I had made using CCleaner, it did not help. I went to the location of the driver (windows/system32/drivers/acbruvi.sys) and it is there, but ranked 0kb. I don't know what this driver is, nor do I have another copy of it on my system. In addition, I lost all my system restore points and do not know how I contracted this problem/virus/worm/trojan horse regardless, but it seems impossible to repair using available like AVG free resources, advanced care and Windows Defender system (Windows defender will not update or another) how can I fix files and the registry without having to reinstall vista on the infected version? I'm at a loss to know what to do? Please let me know what I'm dealing with here?

• How to remove a specific restore point in Vista

  I want to delete the restore individual (s) point. How can I do?

  I know that I can delete all old restore points and keeping the last but, I want to remove unnecessary points in the middle in order to not consume the space allocated to the restore points.

  Thank you very much

  HD

  I'm sorry but this is not possible. As you point out, you can remove all but the last restore Point, or you can remove all the and start over. It is important to remember that the restoration of the system is not a substitute for backup. A better solution for most people is to buy an external hard drive and a program like Acronis True Image imagery. TI can make images and incremental backups. Your healthy regular imaging system gives you the ability to restore to the State in a very few minutes, on the same hard disk or on another.

  You can also reduce the amount of space used for the restoration of the system.

• Why keep away my restore points for vista Home premium?

  I read recently on TechRepublic on Vista Restore devours all the disk space if not configured correctly. I used vssadmin list shadowstorage to see my restore points there is not! I did a manual restore yesterday point and repeat the command vssadmin, it appeared and everything looked good.  I went today to see if the restoration has created another point of restoration, as it is supposed to do on a daily basis, made the shadowstorage command, no restore points, including the one I did yesterday!
  I am running Vista Home Premium, SP1 32 Bit on an Acer Aspire 6920 G computer laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache, 3 GB of Ram and a 320 GB hard drive with a partition C: and D:, 104 GB left of 140 GB on D: and C:, so disk space is not a problem the latter being of full backups mobile operating system and storage, NVIDIA GEFORCE 9500 M. For security I run McAfee Security Center, as well as Spybot S & D operation resident Teatimer. Not a dual-boot machine. I checked that the C: drive is selected for restore points, and it is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Absolutely, I think, that's why I mentioned. Tried to get others who suggest Spybot
  for Vista and especially IE8 to tell people to stop the SBSD service and do not use TeaTimer.

  Good idea to stop the SBSD Service - value STOPPED and MANUAL, you can use SpyBot as
  as scan if needed.

  If you uninstall an antivirus/antispyware/security program never always go to their site and get
  the removal tools and/or special instructions - if you just use remove any at all they tend
  Let the remains.
  ---------------------------------------------------

  Here is what I use:

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with everything I threw at them.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except away from Standard, Web and network is working.

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (Sometimes you have to temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom right of IE)

  Avast - stop home - free - all shields you do no need except leave Standard, Web and network running.
  (Double-click the blue icon - details look OK. - upper left Shields - those that you do not cancel).
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html
  Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
  a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and that would be unusual with
  Avast and Prevx running except a low occasional (not much), updated cookie and then run it as
  a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  I hope this helps.

• Manually set a previous Restore Point

  How can I set a system restore point on a date prior to that of the automatic restore point? For example, my current automatic restore point is May 25 and I want to put it to May 21. When I click on the link that allows me to set a restore point, it defines only the point for the current day. It does not give me the option of specifying a particular (and previous) date for my restore point, along with other versions of Windows.

  No win version did have the opportunity to create a restore point for a date that has passed.

  If you mean you want to restore to an earlier period, when the victory of system restore select the box "show more restore points.

  Hello Mick,

  Thanks for the suggestion of cleaner, it was exactly what I wanted.

• How to protect a restore point are overwritten?

  I would like a solution would work her for all the versions of XP and 7. Maybe I could save a restore point to protect to be replaced.

  When I solved the problem 'my computer takes too long to start', I need some real numbers to see the before and after...

  Then I can charge $1 per second for every second that I take off your startup (up to a maximum of $100) time.  I need front and after hours to collect the loot.  There is of course no charge if your startup time increases.    They take generally only a few minutes of effort on some systems, and most of this time is waiting for reboot cycles.  It is a BIG scam, let me tell you.

  I don't have to copy/paste of notes on what you want to do, but here's what I think...

  RPs are stored in the System Volume Information folder that is hidden and inaccessible (for your protection, of course), unless make you it accessible.

  See this article:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/309531

  I prefer the command CACLS (ACL = Access Control List), so on my system, to enter the folder IVR, start, run or I would like to a command prompt window, enter this command:

  Cacls "C:\System Volume Information" / e/p Jose: F
     
  That should all be on one line with the quotes (since it contains spaces), press ENTER.
     
  Now, Jose navigates carefully all the stuff in the SVI folder.
     
  To restore it as it was before, enter the following command:
     
  Cacls "C:\System Volume Information" /E /R Jose

  When you enter the SVI folder, there is another folder called:

  _RESTORE (a few letters and numbers)

  Under these are records of Nnpr where each of them is a Restore Point.  Sort Nnpr records by date, and you can see them and compare to the SRP appears available in the system restore calendar.

  Manually create a new PR and watch what is happening in the SVI folder list when a new RP is created in order to see how it works.

  Look into the new folder Nnpr and it's the Restore Point.  Some RPs may be traumatic, some might be small - it depends on what the RP's savings since the last PR was created.

  Under each folder Nnpr is a snapshot folder that has the XP registry at the time the RP was made (it's good to know for any problem).

  You can look around it there and you'll see things that might look familiar... and text files, you can watch...  I don't think I know what all the files are fine, but it may not be important for what you're trying to do.

  I think that if get you things you like, turn off SR and enable it (that will remove all current/former SPP) and look in the SVI folder and you should have zero RPs.

  Then manually create a new RP, you will have a new Restore Point in your calendar of SR and a new Nnpr under SVI folder for this moment.  I don't think that the departure of RP RP01 folder names, healrp02, etc...

  I'm not sure all the other files there in the SVI to do, but if I wanted to do what you want to do, I'll start with no RPs, do a RP manually and then copy the entire folder IVR on a CD-ROM or other course (perhaps an external drive).

  In the future when you are ready to go back, turn off the system restore and solve it (to erase all old PHI) and then replace the SVI folder on the hard drive with the one on the CD.

  You may need to remove the SVI folder, but when you restart, a new is created automatically even if SR is disabled.  This SVI folder empty is more annoying for some people, but you can make it work as you want...  ($25 extra for costs of removal trouble).

  To replace the SVI folder, you may need to work in Mode without failure or the XP Recovery Console, but you can replace the entire SVI folder if you want.

  It may take a little effort to replace the SVI folder, but you can do it.

  Then restart and choose to restore your computer to an earlier time.  I think there is just a single RP in the calendar and it's one that you copied from the CD.  I could be wrong on this part.

  This concept could be complicated or messy or worse if you have SR followed two volumes (like your drive C and D), you'll have then two SVI files.

  It is not supposed me have followed anyway SR things on any volume as the boot volume (usually C), so usually the turn off on the secondary volumes except in cases where I'm not sure at 100%, it is not necessary.

  If you choose to restore to the RP only and it works that partially for some reason, you have a big mess and XP could not boot at all and it can be difficult/impossible to fix, or the system restore may not work and XP will just complain that your effort of system restore has nothing.

  I have not tried so I'm not sure that it will work, but since you have the things you need to do a repair or reinstallation if you must... that can happen (a reinstall from scratch).  And you're probably pretty well at this party now.

  CCleaner is a way to also delete the individual RPs (and other maintenance that people like tools), but if I had to do your thing, I'd do it the way I described with the CD - and it may not work well or at all and might take some practice.  Then you can write an article about it.

  Download and install CCleaner here - you may like it:

  http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

  I do not really charge anything for the fixing slow startup time...
