• 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!

• Problem with SP3 - cannot uninstall or system restore

  Here's my problem. I am running Windows XP, and the longer I could not install Service Pack 3. Finally, it worked and I thought that everything was going well until I rebooted. When it restarts and relit, first thing, that it says is that my version of Intel Audio Studio does not support the Board detected, I think, only is not supported by my advice. It took a little longer to start, my microsoft security essentials do not work either nor I have my internet icon and other programs that should be in the corner, but I can always get online. Also, I can't drag files or copy and paste elsewhere, either.  The next thing I thought to do was, try to uninstall the service pack. Without success. It gives me an error "specified file is not found." So, I then decided to try a system restore. I can't do yet! He said "system restore is not protecting your computer." Restart and try again. "It's something like that happened. So, my next step was try in safe mode, no luck there either. What can I do? Help, please.

• Part removed from the registry, cannot open the .exe, .lnk and cannot access the system restore

  Following the advice on a Wikipedia page to remove a virus 'active security scan', I accidentally deleted a potion of my registry (software?)  Now I can't access any .exe, .lnk, files etc.  I get the message "windows cannot open this file", and then me accesses a page with no software suggested to open the file.  I tried the system restore, but get the same message when I try to open the system restore program.  Any suggestions?

• Cannot complete the system restore

  I just updated these updates-

  Update security for Windows Vista (KB2419640)
  Update security for Windows Vista (KB2478935)
  Windows Live Essentials 2011 (KB2434419)
  Windows malicious software removal tool - January 2011 (KB890830)

  After this update, I restarted my computer and had to update Norton Antivirus as well. I noticed that my Windows Sidebar was no longer on my desk, but after a search for the sidebar.exe, I found the exe file disappeared. Back to the window of Windows Update, the updates above are still reported.

  I tried a system restore to an earlier date, but none of the crossings would never restore completely. I'm not sure what to do next - of ideas?

  Try your Safe Mode system restore.

  Shut down your computer > turn it back on and immediately and repeatedly tab key F8 until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Safe Mode. (You can select Safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, if it is required.)

• Now, formatted recovery partition cannot install Windows 8.

  Original title: installation.

  I mistakely to format all partitions, including the recovery on my hp laptop now im trying to install the new copy, but I can't help it please me do not know what to do

  Its best you contact HP recovery media that you can use to reinstall the pre-installed copy of Windows 8. He also recommended because of the following:

  With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.

  If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.

• Cannot use the system restore

  When I tried to do a restore of the system after a software installation failed I got the message "system restore is disabled. You want to turn on? "I clicked the Yes button and then got a screen display that she couldn't be turned on because"system restore has been disabled by group policy. When I searched for how to change group policy, they told me to go to start, run and type gpedit.msc. When I tried that I got an error that gpedit.msc does not exist on my machine. Can someone tell me please how to restore the system restore. I am running an old Vaio with XP, but it still works very well this problem.

  Also, I tried it while logged in as an administrator, it is not part of the problem. I do not have a system restore disk because it did not come with the machine and I forgot to make one, but I have a disk of Windows XP with Service Pack 2. Do I have to re - format the entire disk to fix this? I use a sturdy old Sony Vaio, which works very well except for this problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

  How did you delete the system restore?

  I think you have bad things on your computer (or you did at some point).

  If you have XP Home Edition, you have no Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), but the error message that you declare (if it's like my examples), indicates that group policy has been changed, so that something has changed.

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  Perhaps GoBack is it for you to prevent you from using SR then you would be forced to use use GoBack instead and I do not wish to install GoBack to find out.

  Malware "break" things that he knows that you will use to try to get rid of it... like the Task Manager, the restoration of the system, the registry editor, etc.

  The malware is happiest when she can trick you into thinking you need to do a repair installation, use a Restore Point or even a complete reinstall when none of those things are needed that outsmart you, and then got rid of with MBAM and SAS.

  AV tools will not often catch these things because they can not tell if policies have been disabled by malware or if you made on purpose, so just leave them.   MBAM will point out a few of them as suspect and give you the opportunity to correct them if you wish.

  The malware may also know you have XP Home and adjust policies that he thinks that you do not have to be set because you have no Group Policy Editor - This is how he thinks and that's what he does.  He wants that reinstall you XP from scratch.

  First run MBAM and SAS if you want.

  I've done to the top of this edition of registry for you :).  It's an accumulation of things that responds to all things under the sentence "If you see things like...". ».

  If you just want to see if you can get your work of SR and are comfortable editing the registry, you can go here:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore

  Find and delete this registry key:

  DisableSR

  That's what this line in the file .reg on top:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\SystemRestore]
  "DisableSR" = -.

  He "skins" (removes) politics DisableSR.

  That will solve your problem of immediate SR, but will not any question that you have not yet set.

  Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

  But, as I said, if you have in your registry, you have probably other things too.  My regedit will fix all the things I've seen come with the question SR whether or not they have need of fixing.  It does nothing, it will remove anything that might be there (you have at least one).

  Then, you should broaden your horizons AV because what you use dropped and could not protect your system.

  Or, you can wait and see what other people have to say.

• 'Lost' admin user account - cannot use the system restore

  We have an old desktop running XP Media. At 6 accounts on - account admin 1 parent, 4 other named accts (non admin) and 1 guest (non admin)

  The system is somehow now starts only showing 1 user account - non-admin one child one.  In management of the computer (administrative tools), accounts are but are not accessible.

  Have no idea how to access / info. Unable to use System Restore as one account stated is a non-admin one.

  Can someone help, please? -have been Googling for a few hours now :(

  As a last resort, you can try the following procedure:

  "How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

  Which essentially restores the registry from a backup copy kept with the files in system restore.  In part 2, select a dated folder until you have had this problem to copy the registry of the.  Personally, I find it is easier to start from free Linux Livecd like Knoppix , in which case you can start the procedure in part 2, step 6 using Linux and paste to copy files to their desired location.  Live CD of Linux has no problems with dealing with the status of "Super hidden" System Volume Information folder.

• Cannot access the system restore

  When you try to use the system restore, it asks which file to open it with, which is something that he has not asked before. After that, he does not use the system restore. In addition, Firefox is the same way and I have to use Internet Explorer. Finally, the control panel behaves as if it does not exist.  I don't know if they are related, but they started after my 'sealed' antivirus 'virus' that appeared while Adobe Reader has been updated... I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

  First of all, if your anti-virus removed viruses/malware you don't want to use system restore. This is likely to give the malicious software on your computer.

  It sounds as if your file associations have been damaged. What makes no sense at all, it is that you are able to open Internet Explorer. Click on the link below. Download the file, save it to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose merge. Confirm your choice to merge.

• Error code 0 x 81000101 is displayed. -Cannot create a system restore point.

  The computer is a laptop upscale just out of warranty (of course), running 32 bit Vista Ultimate SP2.  I can't manually create a restore point and the last created automatically was over 6 months ago.  The specific error is: "the creation of a shadow copy has expired.  Try this operation again. »

  I've read the previous post and answer a question similar (7-8 January 2010) and tried his recommendations 1 and 3, without success.  I wasn't number 2 because he was is not clear to me.  My computer experience has included the replacement of memory, disks, video cards, etc. and a large number of configuration of the software, but I'm not comfortable to change sensitive PC parameters, unless the procedure is clear.

  After two years of trying everything, I finally fixed my system restore using this WalterBerndlpost: check if you have a program called "XFast USB" usually installed with the provider of the card mother ASRock MoBo.

  When you try to create a restore point, it hangs on "creating a restore point," followed by the error message: "the restore point could not be created for the following reasons: the creation of a shadow copy has expired.". Try this operation again. (0 x 81000101) Please try again. »

  I googled and came across many others who had solved the problem of 0 x 81000101 by uninstalling XFAST USB. I was living the problem with ASRock Xfast USB version 3.0.28.

  I then uninstalled Xfast USB ASRock (xfastusb) and rebooted. This solves the problem of 0 x 81000101.

  NOTE: I tried first to upgrade to ASRock Xfast USB version 3.0.38, but once again received the error message. Remove on the Start Menu does nothing, given that a pilot that settles in your system. Uninstalling removes this driver

  Another example of these programs 'boost' is 'USB 3.0 push"ASUS, but if you don't have that kind of advice, but have any kind of"USB turbo-propellers"installed, you should always delete. They don't get along well with the Volume Shadow Copy service.

  Hello

  Sorry for the late post. I don't try to back up or restore. I just want to create a restore point.

  Netherless, I followed the advice on this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/itprovistasecurity/thread/37160397-349e-4aa2-992e-1ffe58b5e51e and renamed the SR file in %windir%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SystemRestore to SR.sav and can create restore points successfully. So I create a restore point, a new SR file is created adjacent to the old (SR.sav)

  However, is it to let the SR.sav file remains in the folder or just delete it? Is it possible that renaming some files to offset it later?

  Please kindly answer. Thank you
