    Hi Groma,

    System Restore has already worked before or this is your first attempt to use it? If he has worked in the past, what has changed?
    Are you waiting for the system restore window to come, but not answered, or you click on it a second time? If you click it a second time, which would lend itself to the error you receive.

    If you have successfully created a previous restore point, I would run the system restore in safe mode automatically from the command prompt:

    Start the restore of the system from a command prompt

    You can start the system restore from a command prompt window if you cannot start your computer in a mode other than the mode safe mode with command prompt.

    1.

    Start your computer in safe mode with command prompt. For more information, see start your computer in safe mode . If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2.

    At the command prompt, type rstrui.exe, and then press ENTER.

    NoteIf you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you cannot undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any.

  • 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.

    original title: how to cut system restore in two points

    my hard drive is almost full.and I'm cutting the system restore in half of all aid

    Thank you ken

    You can remove all restore points by turning off the system.  but then I'll make a new restore point for today.

    Open Control Panel systems and on the System Restore tab, you can make adjustments to the functionality.

    is incidentally, deletion of restore points can be counterproductive because they really do take up that much space, and you might not have as a safety net restore points to restore your system.

    really, you should consider adding a second hard drive to your system because programs and Web pages are only more complex and bigger in size.  If you will not be able to escape the possible low disk space problem.

    either way, microsoft provides 25 GB of free space on this skydrive site, where you can download and store your personal files.

  • No access to the system restored files even though I'm an administrator

    I recently had to restore my laptop to its factory settings. I have created a backup of my external hard drive and files on and crossed the System Restore Wizard to get it all back again.

    However, I now get an error message on all my files saying: ' you don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner of the file or an administrator to obtain this authorization. »

    I am the administrator and when I search through all of the files properties 'total control' but I even can not open them.

  • System Restore does not work, once again.

    Hi, I read a topic of 2010 that has not yet been answered. I worked with a tech at Microsoft by e-mail, but when I answered: System Restore didn't work. Now it does not work yet. I had installed Returnil system safe, but I got an error msg 0 x 80004005, (third-party antivirus), so I uninstalled the program. I went through the registry and delete something with Returnil all 4 sections of the registry. Remove the common files folder that was left after uninstalling. Restarted my computer several times. I use MSE, with free versions of spywareblaster and MBAB, who are both at the request not in real time. I tried to restore to a time before I had installed Returnil first, (I installed and uninstalled 3 times in 2 days) and could not. I tried to use a snapshot to restore spywareblaster and managed to restore to the point 2 x before installing because forward the installation of point returnil has been altered. At the moment no malware has been detected and no threat of MSE. What to do next?

    Thanks in advance for any help. Liz.

    Here's my usual route to find out how to reinstall System Restore:

    If you have already run MBAM and SAS, temporarily disabled your antivirus and anti-malware applications and tried your Safe Mode system restore and you still get the restoration of the system to work, you must reinstall just your system restore.  You do not have to reinstall XP - just reinstall the system restore part.

    System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.

    When you reinstall the system restore, all your current Restore Points will be deleted and you must restart your computer once the installation is complete.  After the reboot, a new Restore Point will be created as a new point of system control in your calendar of SR.

    If your system had a malware infection, it could be that some of the files in your old Restore Points are also infected up to wipe out the 'old' and new is often a good idea if you wonder if the old Restore Points are infected or not.

    Assuming that your XP is installed on drive C of your computer:

    As you go through the reinstallation of the RS, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.   If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

    Navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\Inf

    Locate and right-click the following file:

    SR.inf

    Choose Install

    If you can not see the sr.inf file, set up your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

    Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the file c:\windows\inf\sr.inf.

    Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

    You don't need absolutely a CD to do the reinstall, because files must already be on your system somewhere if SR was working before.

    If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

    If the request to a file and you don't know where he is, let waiting for installation and click Start, search, and search for it
    has requested the file and find it on your system.  If SR has already worked before, the file is already on your system somewhere.

    Search finds the requested file, go back to the installation and specify the path where you found the file requested and click OK.  Installation can request several files along the way, but you can find them all.

    Here's how my system works when I reinstall SR when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

    When you are asked:

    SR.sys

    Point the install in c:\windows\system32\drivers

    When you are asked:

    c:\windows\system32\srclient.dll

    Point install it in c:\windows\system32

    When you are asked:

    Filelist. XML

    Point of installation at c:\windows\system32\restore (or c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386)

    When you are asked:

    srframe. MMF

    Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache (c:\windows\system32\restore)

    Once installation is complete, you will receive a message that you must restart your computer.

    Restart your computer and look at your schedule of SR.  You should have a new point system control in your calendar.

    When you get SR working again, I ran MBAM and SAS to make sure that your system is reasonably clean of malware.

    The day that you think you need to help the system restore you is not the day to discover the system restore does not work, then you need to test.

    After the reinstallation, manually create a Restore Point and test the restoration process and make sure that you are convinced that it works from one end to the other.
