  • reduce the size of icon, window and fonts after running system restore

    After running, all system restore my widows, fonts, and icons are way too big to fit on my screen. How can I reduce their normal size?

    Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/laptop > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for the latest Vista drivers > download/install them.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • System Restore Windows 8 has been restoring for almost 2 hours. How long should it take?

    New windows machine 8. Installed AVG anti-virus requiring a reboot. It wouldn't restart. Kept giving me the dpc_watchdog... error. (more & on & above) So I chose to do a system restore to last Friday. I saw him start & I left the room for a while.  He has been restoring for almost 2 hours now. I noticed the "finalizing" file restore less than an hour ago. Is this normal? I have to do something else?

    Hi Marcia,

    I understand that the system restore takes a long time to restore your computer.

    System restore usually takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the data has changed since the date of the restoration up to the date where the restoration is underway.
    If the computer is blocked, do a hard reset. Press the power button for about 10 seconds. Once the computer shuts down, stop and try again and follow the steps.

    Follow the steps mentioned below and perform a restore of the system from the Windows recovery environment. Check if it helps.

    (a) Insert the disc to install 8 Windows; Click on repair your system.
    (b) click the Advanced Boot Options.
    (c) click Start Windows settings.
    (d) If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    ((e) (f) If you are using the Windows installation disc, click on system restore.
    (f) click about to restore during which the system worked very well.
    (g) click on apply, click OK.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

  • After running System Restore my computer asks for a password when connecting and I don't remember the password.

    I am running Vista Home Premium on a laptop Toshiba Satellite L305.  I ran the system restore due to a problem of "Internet Explorer cannot display the website" (by Microsoft troubleshooting guide for this problem) and selected restore point earlier.  Now the computer asks for a password that I don't remember.  I tried all the possible passwords I can think.   There is only a single user account on this computer.  The administrator account should be disabled, it is not an option when connecting safe mode.  I don't have a system repair disc set.   Is it possible to run the system back restore to select a more recent restore point which does not require a password?  Or y at - it another way to connect to the computer?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/undo-system-restore

    If you tried to use the system restore to solve a problem, but the problem remained or other problems were introduced, you can undo the restore operation. After you cancel the system restore, you can try using a different restore point.

  • System Restore Windows 7 64-bit fails every time

    When I try a system restore, the process will appear to the front without a hitch but after that restart message appears failed to restore and suggests anti-virus software, might have been the problem but even after you disable the antivirus (I use AVG), the results are the same. A specific software that can interfere with the restore process exist?

    I have not had any disaster that could use a restoration for a bailout but I suspect it will happen eventually.

    Hi Harry,.

    I understand that you are unable to run the restore of the system on the windows computer 7.

    Help me with little information on this issue.

    1. What is the full error message?

    2. are you the same error even after disabling security software?

    Follow the steps and check if that helps.

    Method 1:

    Temporarily disable the Antivirus and firewall

    Enable or disable Windows Firewall

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

    Important note: Antivirus 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.

    Method 2


    Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Cannot run system restore

    I tried a few hours back to my lap top back to an earlier date using "System Restore". Every time it seems it will work, but it is not however there is an error code I have: oxcooooo22. I tried to search that with no luck at all. I wonder if I'm doing the right to the procedure. If someone would care to give me a hand I sure would appreciate it, I need a method step by step instructions, because I am a novice to this. Thanks in advance for your help and response.

    Sincerely

    gogoplex52

    Hello Gogo,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem can occur because of damaged or missing Windows files, or as a result of a software conflict or drivers.

    I suggest to do a restore of the system in safe mode and check if it helps.
    Reference:
    Start your computer in safe mode
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=Windows-7

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

    If this does not help, run the system file checker (SFC) and then try to restore Windows.
    Reference:
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/929833

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    Note: when you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    I hope this information helps.

    Please let us know if you need more help.

    Thank you

  • How to use "System Restore" using the USB boot-able.

    Some updates are being installed and I have turned off, now Vista does not load normally. Instead, Windows loading process is interrupted by error 'blue screen of death '.  Now, I have a USB boot-able with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. When I boot with my USB boot-able and select 'Repair your system', it shows the dialog box 'System Restore Options. " There are no BONES in the list, so I click on "Load drivers", an "Open" dialog box appears.

    1. in the "Open" dialog box, I don't know which file (s) to locate.

    If I cancel and click on 'Next', another windows appears. Then, I select "System Restore". A message pops up saying something like: «to perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore...» For example, enter the command:
    Rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:WINDOWS.

    2. I don't know where I have to give this command.

    My HP dv6700 s system. When I bought it, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit was already installed. But I do not remember the activation code now. And so I can't even contact support and help from microsoft.

    Kindly help me.

    HP gives you the opportunity to make the Vista startup repair from the diagnostic menu? I thought that this was the case. Have you checked? There is a reason for the message warning about don't turn off your computer while updates are being installed and you may need to restore the State of the plant.

    To answer your original question, the drivers that are sought are disk SATA controller drivers. You get them from HP website and set on a (non-bootable) USB to use at the point of "pilots charge."

    If you can not solve this problem, you can copy your data to an external hard drive by booting with a Linux Live like Knoppix or Ubuntu distro from a bootable USB. Then restore the computer as long as the plant. HPs factory to start the recovery process by pressing F11 when the computer starts, but there will be a message about what function key to use.

  • Problems with the creative Cloud/Flash Professional? (Run system restore, Flash has been deleted...)

    I did a system restore to restore my computer as it was 24 hours ago to solve PC problems (could not uninstall some programs that I was going to reinstall to resolve performance issues); I have three other my computer Adobe programs that are still there, but where the Flash was my latest acquisition, it was deleted when I performed the system restore. When I tried to re - download the program, CC still consider that Flash is still on my computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled CC, passed through the program files for traces of Flash (do not delete or change this either, but also did not find everything related to Flash), deleted the Temp folder, tried to download Flash Professional CC directly on the CC site, but none of them brought no change. Is there a way to manually download Flash, or "reset" CC to get the opinion of that Flash is no longer on my computer?
