• Firefox has recently discontinued. I opened it again, and I had lost my pinned tabs. How can I find/restore them?

  Firefox sometimes stops, but this time I opened it as usual and my pinned tabs have been lost. I searched through the parameter etc but I can't find a way to get back them, or at least to find them. Any ideas?

  Do not close Firefox. Please save all your files of sessionstore in a safe place for potential recovery/recovery operations.

  You can open the settings file (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button.

  In the window that launches, scroll down and save a copy of all the files whose names begin with sessionstore to a safe place, such as your Documents folder. If not too much time has passed, we may be able to use to recover your blank tabs.

  Then you could check the menu history for 'restore previous Session "? This can appear on the application ('3-bar' menu) or on the menu bar.

  If 'Restore previous Session' is grayed out, then either Firefox has already loaded your session previous windows and tabs, or could not load the file. Check the menu history the possibility of re-opening closed windows and then labels in each window. Nothing salvageable?

  The types of files that you can find in your sessionstore files include:

  • sessionstore.js: windows and tabs in your Firefox session currently live (or, if Firefox is closed, your last session)
  • sessionstore.bak: the windows and tabs in your last session in Firefox
  • sessionstore.bak -datetime: windows and tabs in Firefox that was alive at the time of your last update session
  • sessionstore - 1.js (or other numbered files): windows and tabs when Firefox was unable to update the sessionstore.js file registered

  Can take you a look at what you have and the date / time of the different files to see if you think that one of them would be the windows and tabs missing?

• How can I remove restore point

  My restore points become numerous. I want to delete restore points I need is no longer.

  How can I do this?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello Mick,

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

• How can I remove restore points created daily by Software Distribution Service 3.0?

  Are not only all these points using the space on my hard drive to restore?

  A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

  cCleaner also comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

• 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. »

• System Restore create not automatic restore points

  I recently posted a related problem, which has been repaired/fixed, see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Operating-systems-and-software/System-Restore-does-not-retain-restore-p...

  My HP Pavilion DV6 is not creating Automatic restore points.  Laptop is ~ 3 months and is using Windows 7.   In my previous post, I had trouble with the restore points disappear.  This problem has been fixed when I corrected a number of bad sectors on my hard drive. Now, I can manually create restore points and they remain intact.  Manual of several points have been in place for a few weeks.  However, I don't get the automatic restore points.  I checked the Task Scheduler, it has listed the restoration of the system, the Task Scheduler Service is started and set to automatic.  I put triggers restore to create a restore point 02:00 every day and start the system.  Whenever I have check the properties of SR within the Task Scheduler window, it lists today and said that "the operation completed successfully (0x0).  However, no restore point is created.  I can't find any errors listed in the event where the viewer associated with the restoration of the system, kind of most prospects, it seems that the Restore Points should be created, but there is no list but the manual I did myself. I've set the conditions of restoration as follows: 1) start the task only if the computer is idle for 10 minutes. (2) wait for idle for 10 minutes. (3) wake the computer to run the task.  System Restore has 15% of disk space for storing points, so there is plenty of room.  Interestingly, on the properties of SR tab listed 'History', says ' story (disabled), so there is nothing listed there.»

  I must be missing something - any ideas?

  Last updated: the scenario and the procedure of johngalt I linked above works like a charm.  I'm daily Restore Points just like I want.  In the cases where I decide I want to only a couple of a week, I can easily change the new task at the request I created, so I don't plan to post further.   Question is resolved :-)  Thanks for the help!

• System Restore utility cannot restore to restore point

  I am under Windows XP SP 3 and have a disconcerting problem.  (SR) system restore will not restore my system to an earlier time.  SR is activated and creates automatic restore points every day, and I can also create points of restoration on request.  But when I actually try to restore the system to one of these points, the RS utility is unable to do with the useless message that it was impossible to restore my PC to an earlier time and no changes to my PC.  I suspect that some interviews I've done recently is the culprit.  I downloaded and installed a maintenance of Uniblue software, including Registry Booster and Rescue Disk.  The first is an optimizer registry/cleaner and my PC doesn't seem to work faster as well.  The latter is a disk defragmentation tool, and when it runs, it displays the names of files and folders, as it reorganizes.  I noticed it was the defrag the System Volume Information folder, including RPxxxx files, which of course contain restore point information.  (It is my understanding that the System Volume Information folder is not available for normal Windows interface and how this tool is there to do for maintenance is a mystery to me.)  But since I have used these two tools, the RS utility has not completed a restoration successfully.  It doesn't matter if I try to restore to a prior restore point or after the time when the interview was made.  I can create a restore point and immediately try to restore it with negative results.  I uninstalled the software Uniblue, but that did not fix my problem.  How can I overcome this severe limitation and recover the critical capacity of system restore?  Thank you very much...

  I've never seen Vista for more than a few minutes, but it is a fairly common problem with XP.  It is usually not a problem to Microsoft at all.

  (You are in a group XP... Vista forums are here: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsvista)

  Here is my copy/paste standard for an XP system with the problem described by capehaze13 above.  Maybe it will give you some ideas or to reflect:

  Some tools AV '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

  Depending on what you use for malware protection, you will maybe disable the product temporarily, make the system restore and then turn on the product.

  Sometimes, you will need boot mode safe, and while that your protection programs do not, then do the system restore.  Microsoft refers to this in some of their writings too and it works sometimes favorably (do the system restore in Mode safe that is).

  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, 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.

  Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• Restore point creation crashes and now backup when you create a shadow copy Volume Windows 7 x 64. Help, please!

  Hi all

  Backup and system restore worked fine 2 weeks ago, or maybe even more recently when I had to restore an earlier backup. I first noticed a problem yesterday, however, when you try to install an update from Windows to see that he is hung up on the creation of a Restore Point. I also tried to manually create a restoration via the System applet in the control panel of configuration, but that just hung 'Creation of a Restore Point. Finally, I tried to make a backup of what I finally did the 5/14, but which becomes 7% when creating a cliché to hang there.

  Things I've tried so far:

  1. Ensure VSS and the Windows backup is set to automatic and started in the Services.
  2. Turning Off SR on all drives and turn it back on.
  3. By clicking on the Remove button to all the former restore points for all readers
  4. Running SFC/scannow, who comes back as 'No violation of integrity.'
  5. A ran Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware with nothing found
  6. Have Norton 360 5.0 and I tried disabling in vain. Also no viruses are detected.
  7. Trying to do something in Mode without failure only to discover I can't create restore points there.
  8. Try to resize the shadowstorage and remove the old shadows via the CMD prompt high.
  9. Regsvr32 a bunch of dll found listed on similar sites - much successful in vain a bit - so maybe it's something...
  10. vssadmin list shadowstorage but nothing happens.
  11. No doubt other things but I can't think of them right now...

  So it seems that I can do a repair installation of Windows 7 x 64 or attempt a restore one of my backups for a few weeks there, but the latter seems like it will fail either or I'll run into the same problem again later, the. I have Windows 7 on a 30 GB SSD, and the Windows directory itself takes 15.5 GB, because the installation program requires 17.5 GB for x 64, I wouldn't be able to do even if I removed everything else on the disc but the dir of Win.

  So I figure I can find is a solution to the real problem, do a clean install, or copy my 30 GB partition on another drive, resize, do the repair install and backup. None of this sounds particularly easy options, so can someone please help me find something that might work?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi, Andrew l.,

  I suggest you perform the clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

• Planning Protection System (Backup/Restore Points)

   

  It's actually a repeat of my previous post unresolved since a couple of months.  I want to program creating AUTOMATIC backup/restore by 'System Protection' points.  I don't know of DATA BACKUPS.  I just "let the question slide"... pending, until today when I received an e-mail inquiry HP which brought me back to the question.  I decided not to continue the previous thread, because it degraded in my frustrating rantings.  Here is my original post.

  . . .

   

  I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-110 t, Windows7 Home Premium computer.  I want to change my schedule for the creation of the Protection system of backups of the system (not the data files).  It seems that it is currently set for monthly backups (unless, I suppose, a '' significant '' event occurs).  In accordance with the recommendations of the new documentation of the computer, I have not shut down the computer during the night; I let it go to sleep so that automatic "tricks" can occur on the calendar.  Occasionally, the next morning, he has rebooted & waiting for my password.

  I just had a problem with the icons on the desktop freeze... has not responded to the command.  I considered what to do a system restore, but in my research, I was told that there is no restore point.  I started to panic... I didn't know that the magic words were "system protection".  Now, I think that what I was told was that my data had not been automatically saved.  Finally, I took a deep breath and restarted.  Fortunately, which fixed the problem of the frozen... icon but he left the more serious problem of no backup/restore points.  I dropped everything & began to study.

  Finally, I ran into Control Panel / System / System Protection & found 2 points, including 1 that is apparently automatic around midnight the 21st of each month restoration.  I decided to increase the frequency of twice a month.  But I'm only the DVD RW drive to a backup destination.  This is not what I want.  I want the same destination (original) does not change. I guess that's the drive C (or D-Drive).  All I want to do is change the programmed frequency.

  I used before backup/restore points on other computers without problems.  Everything was pretty simple & straight forward.  What I'm missing here?

  Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  Hi Jim,.

  Well I think I have a solution.  It seems that Scheduler tasks won't that create 1 catering point in a 24 period time - after 24 hours has passed, it will create another since the first trigger, which becomes valid.  Forinstance so (after 24 hours), if the trigger is to create a restore point at startup and at 09:00, if you started the computer at 08:00 a restore point will be generated and relaxation at 09:00 will be ignored.  That is why, in a time which is within 24 hours of the last created Restore point does not work.  In the screenshots following are parameters that should allow you to set a time for your restore point planned to create.  There is a way to check if it works - after setting the calendar, you must remove the existing restore Points.  Then, you should find that the next outbreak valid (ie the defined time period) will now create a restore point as shown in the last screenshot.  Details on the removal of the existing restore points is at the end of the third screenshot - just remember when setting the time you want your restore point to create, give yourself plenty of time to edit the task and remove the existing restore points.

  

  

  

  With the above setting is applied, Task Scheduler to close, open windows control panel, open system, click on the System Protection link, click on configure and then click on Remove to remove the existing restore points.  Once completed, just wait the time set the trigger to activate.  After a few minutes, you should see the task is executed correctly and created a restore when you - these are my results below.

  

  

  As you can see, the Restore Point reports correctly that it was created at 19:50, the time that I put in the Task Scheduler.

  If you have any questions in this regard, please let me know.

  Kind regards

  DP - K
