I can't do a system restore! Help please!

Whenever I have attampt to perform a restore of the system, the execution fails and a message reading:

An exception occurred trying to launch ' C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,control_RunDLL «C:\Windows\system32\systemdm.cpl,"System"»

Is someone can you please tell me what is happening with my system? How can I solve this problem?
 
Also, I noticed that when I start my computer it now invites me to choose 'the House', that I never had to do before and the first thing that popped up on my desk is the wizard 'new hardware found'... when there is no new material. Other than these issues I don't notice other problems.

I have already tried to solve the problem in Mode safe, but the same error message appears when I attampt a system restore.

My OS: Windows XP - Service Pack 3

Thanks in advance!

First, make sure that you can view all the files:
* Click Start.
* Open workstation.
* Select the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
* Select the view tab.
* Under the hidden files and folders section select
Display the hidden files and folders.
* Disable the operating system files Hide protected
option (recommended).
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.

Then, click Start--> run... then type or copy and paste:
%WINDIR%\Inf
... Locate the SR. INF file and right-click on it. Then click on install

Windows should attempt to reinstall the restoration of the system, and at this point, you may be prompted for the path to Windows installation source.
Point to the %Windir%\ServicePackFiles folder. System restore core files will now be reinstalled. When you are prompted, restart the computer. Please post back your results. Thank you!

  • Hall 20: I can't do a system restore to overcome the refusal of the system to accept the password.

    I did a restore to factory on the Pavilion 20. Pressing me F11 has troubleshooting screen and I chose the system restore. All right

    I set up the UserName Admin and the password carefully (but don't think to do a password recovery disk).  I installed a different AntiVirus Norton application, a default value.  So I uninstalled Norton.  It required a reboot to complete uninstallation.

    This is where my problems started.

    Upon restart, the computer will not accept the password!  There is no mistake here.  It was carefully designed and entered in the creation of duing twice.  I even considered perhaps that I soon take my finger on the SHIFT key (twice) then tried many variations of SHIFT or no change for the capitals and even the next character in the password.  I restarted 50 times trying to get just one time and then I would like to choose a new password for connection.

    For the next, I thought I could just do a restore of the system from zero and re - configure again.  But now there is no option for me to use the system recovery.  This option is missing!  I spent many hours on searches of google for similar problems.  It's just not there.  I tried to use F10 and F11 to enter the system recovery.  I get to the menu troubleshooting and it has 3 options: Refresh uoir PC, reset your PC options and advanced.
    Clicking on advanced options gives me the system restore (a restore point (doesn't) usung) System Image recovery, startup repair, command prompt and UEFI firmware settings.

    I'm positn gthis in the hope that I can do a system recovery to the command prompt.  Is this possible?  If this is not the case, how can I do a system restore when the OPtion is not avaiiable?

    My question is: a complete system recovery was done, why it is no longer possible to

    Hello Newton51

    It will display the number of full model of the computer.

    I don't know what happened on your system but when you do the reset of the system, don't go not advanced.

    You should be able to click on reset your PC. That will erase the C: partition and reinstall Windows.

    When its finished, and you get to the part where it asks you to create a password for the user, LEAVE BLANK.

    Restart to make sure you can connect without using a password.

    IF you succeed at this stage, create your HP Recovery Media via the HP Support Assistant.

    If you enter an impasse once again, recovery media will wipe the drive and reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

    NOTE: HP will allow you to record only one copy of the recovery media, so not to interrupt the process when you start.

    Now remove Norton and restart.

    Install this that never new you want security.

    When you're done, go to your user profile and carefully create your word password but do not close yet.

    Create the key to reset password on a USB key.

    Now restart and test your password.

    You have a USB reset if it doesn't.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    If you are not able, or do not succeed to reset the PC, you have two options. Use the MS media creation tool to create recovery media (from another computer).

    Then, reinstall Windows 8.1 and download your HP drivers and install them.

    Or

    Order directly the appropriate recovery of the HP Support media.

    Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

    Choose the country you are. Choose Help, then to the House.
    Enter the full product number and follow the prompts to contact Support.

    Chat with an agent will ensure that you get the appropriate recovery media.

    Hope that helps.

  • Key board does not work correctly when you type. Can not get the system restore to work properly, either

    Tried to run the system restore, but it will not restore.

    Hey AnnEdelstein,

    Because you can't get the system restore to work, perform a clean boot on your Windows XP system. The guide to that is here. Which follow, and then try again to Outlook. If it works to the minimum, then boot in the boot, analyse the whole system with your Antivirus and other security you have.
    Also make sure you have the drivers for the keyboard. Search for the manufacturing of the keyboard, and they should have the drivers on their support site. I hope this has been helpful!
  • can not get the system restore to work

    tried to get the system restore back to an earlier time. says I need to get rid of the useless programs.did who. I have also some icons for files, tools or downloads

    In addition to what has been mentioned, consider the following:

    First of all, what is the last time that the restoration of the system worked?

    Check your system restore settings:

    1. Click Start
    2. Right click on my computer
    3. Click on Properties.
    4. Click on System Restore
    5. If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
    6. If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "

    Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.

    To do this:

    1. run Disk Cleanup

    2. click on more Options

    3. under system restore, click cleaning of

    4. click on OK

    This will free up the space. System restore needs a minimum of 200 MB of space to work.

    Hello CalebCox,

    I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.

  • After you install Microsoft fix it 50027 (A Fix DVD player) win. XP can't do a system restore. I get this response: "your computer cannot be restored to _Date_.

    I'm under Win.

    Boot safe mode (press F8 at startup) and perform a restore of the system, safe mode.
    Which usually solves the problem.

  • Message received from "Disk full" so he was trying to install 2011.exe SRIM. I can see 933 GB of free space when I display the properties of the operating system (c :)) help, please!

    Original title: received message 'disk full '. I can see 933 GB of free space when I display the properties of the operating system (c :)) help, please!

    New computer - Dell Inc. 05DN3X (CPU 1), MS Windows 7 64-bit SP1, processor Intel Core i7 930 at 2.80 GHz, 6.00 GB Triple - Channel DDR3 @ 666 MHz, 977 GB Western Digital WDC WD10EALX - 759BA1 (SATA).

    Problem:

    Have used the program mentioned above (SRIM.exe) several times before using different operating systems XP to work without problem...
    Help, please!

    Given that this was written in 2011, I'm sure you understood something at this stage. However, the post also has much a views, so I think it might be a persistent problem, so I'll post my solution:

    When I copied the file SRIM - 20xx.e in a folder of SRIM-20xx under Program Files, I had a "Disk full" error when trying to extract the files, even though I had a lot of space on my hard drive and without limits. After a bit of messing around, I like the solution is to move the SRIM-20xx folder on the desktop, and then unpack it. After extraction, which leaves you with a lot of seemingly useless files, double-click CONFIGURATION and the installation will begin appropriate. Installation will create a file under Program Files, there will be no need to make things happen later, simply remove the meantime extract the folder to your desktop computer.
