• Re: Remove the XP system restore point

  How can I remove an XP system restore point. In Oct 08 my PC date has been incorrectly defined on Nov 08 and System Restore creates different restore points. Now PC date set Oct 08 what will happen in November? Can I remove restore points?

  I think that you can't remove already created restore points ignore them. If your laptop is set correctly now I recommend you to create your own restore point and you will know which is the right one.

  Don't forget to check with the system manufacturer for instructions, as the recovery of your system and the
  Restore points should not have one impact on the other. Did you use OEM manufacturer system

  If you have any software backup as totalrecovery pro 9 or norton ghost, they prevent you from creating a manual restore point.  I have 9 pro full recovery and everything I do is to disable the Recovery Manager when I want to create a manual restore point.  There is no problem with system restore points created they work very well it is the manual of who are the problem.

• The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

  I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

  In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

  And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

  Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

  Hey, Jose,

  I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

  I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

  The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

  "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

  'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

  • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
  • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
  • No disk compression
  • Did not display the warnings system restore.
  • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
  • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
  • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
  • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
  • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
  • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

  "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

  This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

  • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

  "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

  • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

  "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

  • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
  • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
  • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

  "To answer your question:

  The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

  • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

  I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

  "Do or do not. There is no test. »

• How to save files on a CD system restore point?

  How to record the system restore point/data files to the remote storage device. for example, CD? Why... I need to run ID or remove malicious software programs on PC. To completely clean, I need to disable System Restore which will remove all the old system restore points. I want malware recovery option, if necessary, in my opinion.  Ask also procedure - how to restore the files to restore the system from the CD for PC?   For a multitude of reasons, I don't want to go through the hassle of the old image restore, reinstall windows XP, etc. to "work around" malware / problems of virus, or remuneration mcafee $90 to 'fix' my PC for 5 days.

  Sorry, but you can't do that. Instead, you can picture the system with a program like Acronis True Image Home and save this image on an external hard drive. After getting the system cleaned (or if you decide to do a clean install), you can use True Image to make an image of your own system and also imagery incremental backup for your restore image is always up to date.

  BTW, I do not recommend disable the system restore first during the cleaning of a machine. Leave it on and then turn it off then clear on the old Restore Points, turning it back on.

• No System Restore Point, then how to return to a system update before?

  Windows has completed an update and my task bar is back to an older version, changed color and left me with an old start button (grr!), more my Sidebar is now completely opaque, whereas previously it was translucent. For some reason, there is no system restore point to go back to a system update before, and I am not allowed to create a system for yesterday restore point, so, how do I fix these errors?  Obviously these defects are not affecting performance, but given that I'm a bit OCD, they cause some irritation. : O

  Thanks in advance for any help that is to come.

  You need not return to the update to fix that. With the right button of your wallpaper, just go to customize and choose any theme Aero.  Aero is the brand name for the DWM (Desktop Window Manager) technology that powers all the effects of glass and styles.

• How to restore a significant update to Windows 7 I lost after a restart for an earlier version of the system restore point?

  I am running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350 t. Recently, a malfunction of Windows at startup caused my father reboot the system to a previous system restore point. (He says it was one of several options at startup.) Everything seems to work fine now except that I seem to have lost a critical update Windows downloaded after the restore point, Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256. Still, there are in my Windows update history and is listed as "installed successfully", but when I check my updates installed, it is absent. Also, when I try to search for updates installed, I get a message indicating that Windows is up-to-date. I can't uninstall the update and re - install because it is missing from my list of installed updates. So I guess that the re-start to a previous system restore point has put this important WIndows update in limbo. How can ensure me that this update is installed correctly and working properly?

  Hello hakimbenzakis,

  Absolutely, because based on that you are running the latest version of the Windows Update Agent and have the last update to it.

• I want to do a "System Restore" at an earlier date than when I did a "System Restore Point"; How can I realize this "System Restore" to a date that is earlier than the "System Restore Point"?

  I am running a version of Microsoft "Vista." I want to do a "System Restore" to a date earlier than the 'Restore Point System' which is steeped in external memory of my terminal (and apparently in memory of boarding school of the terminal).  The terminal shows only the "System Restore Point" that I had introduced manually; How replace this erroneous 'system Resote Date Point' so that I can get rid of things that I wish were not included in the drive of my terminal?  Specifically, the "Ready Boost" option has ruined my terminal memory drive; That's why I want to get rid of with a "restoration of memory", but there is no other precedents "System Restore" options.

  Hello Mikeoncamano,

System protection is turned on by default on the hard disk that Windows is installed. You can enable restoring the system for other disks by turning on system protection for these disks.

  You can not turn on protection system for a disc is formatted by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems.

  To turn on System Protection

  Open system by clicking Start , right-clicking computer, and then click Properties.

  In the left pane, click system protection.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Under Parameters of Protection, click the disk, and then click Configure.

  Do one of the following:

  To be able to restore system settings and previous versions of files, click on restore system settings and previous versions of the file.

  To be able to only restore previous versions of files, click only restore previous versions of files.

  Click OK, and then click OK again.

  Kind regards

  It will create automatically restore points when there are changes to the computer or Windows.

  Disable your Norton protection system and check if she created the restore point...

• All my system restore points are gone, can I get them back? They were here before, I did a restore earlier in the day.

  I have read through many of the issues with my problem similar but found no answers I thought applied to my question.  I use Vista Home Basic and it came on laptop. He began to get a blue screen, the other week that close... I signed on and it allows me to open my Cricket to go online and allows me to open IE and go online - I was for a few hours.  With all the previous still running I went to open AOL and the blue screen appeared again. I started to play and it seems that AOL is the reason.  System Restore fixed.  I could sign and use Cricket, IE and even AOL.  A few weeks later now I am online using IE and I had saved a few sites to my bookmark on the google toolbar.  I kept all the programs like I always do and clicked on AOL and of course, a blue screen and shut down.  I thought I'd make system restore as before... He's fine, but I noticed that when I went to IE my google toolbar was gone and I have several sites needed bookmarks so I played with the tools and disabled my toolbar and it permits etc. nothing helped so I defeated the system restore and signed for IE and google toolbar is back to normal but now AOL is causing the blue screen new.  I decided to try, then uninstall the google toolbar and simply re-install everything when I do a restore to get AOL works or to uninstall AOL and reinstall it again. I opened the system restore and that's when it opened and said there are no restore points on my system and take care to create a manual.  I'm afraid that if I do just that I lose the ability to restore my restore points, if there is a way (which means yes, you can restore the system restore points, but you must do before anything else, as if I created an it would ruin my chance to restore my 'old'?).  In any case, of course, I must have the computer checked as to why the blue screen is arise every few weeks but so far here, I want to do system restore to fix at the moment.  What can I do to get my restore points back?  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Diana,

  Thank you for answering... that's why I'm confused, I know not that restore points deleted as space fills up and also if you turn off your protection system but neither one of these grounds was the case.  I had a lot of space (from the previous use of sys restore, I see how many restore points can accumulate before deletion and it was not nearly that many) and protection of my system is on?  It just happened without reason that's why I was hoping that I could get back them due to abnormal circumstances.  I do not!  I have uninstall AOL completely and when I reinstalled it everything went well up to what he did and he opened up to find my connection type and of course, the blue screen appeared and stop.  Obviously, AOL, but I thought that a new facility would set as I had AOL since I was the new laptop.  I thought that maybe a file was corrupted or something and uninstall and reinstall would work but no luck.  I was going to do a complete reinstallation of my laptop all but before I do, I noticed I never had disks when I bought it, everything was installed (Windows Vista), but they do not include a disc of resettlement.  I don't know if this is how they do it now, or if mine was incomplete, so I guess I'll put hands on MS supports.  Thanks again!

• Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

  Hi all

  For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

  I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

  I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

  Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!
