Microsoft 'Fix - it' created a restore point of its own

I downloaded microsoft "Fix - it" and he has made a point of restoration of its own and does not allow me to go back further.  I have a problem and need to restore to an earlier date. I uninstalled Fix - it, but the new always restore point allows me to go further.  How can I remove Fixit restore point without format my whole computer

System Restore is not a panacea.  Why do you want to use a previous system restore point?

Sometimes the system restore fails, usually when you most need.  For this reason, some people don't rely on the system restore and make their own backups instead.

In order to back up the registry, C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT is both free and easy to use.

For more full backups, you must decide whether to back up only the data or the entire system.  It is easy to back up the entire system using a disk cloning/imaging application.  Here are a few:

If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

Acronis True Image Home
EASEUS ToDo Backup
Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
Casper
Norton Ghost

XXClone

  • Shadow Copy Provider cannot create system restore point error Ox8004230F?

    When I try to create a system restore on my Vista operating system, you get the above error message.
    I have entered what has been suggested in the forums and Services.
    What should I do now?
    Thanks for you help.

    When researching other forums via Google, I found this in 'My Digital Life '.  It solved my problem so I post here to help people who may have tried all the "fix - its" that did not work!

    "The error occurs because the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service is stopped or disabled. The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider Service manages shadow copies of volume based on software taken by the Volume Shadow Copy service. If this service is stopped, shadow copies of volume based on software cannot be managed. If this service is disabled, as when you manually disable the snapshot, all services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start. "

    The Shadow Copy Provider MS and the shadow copy of Volume must be enabled.  With my problem I'm not far enough to allow the Shadow Copy Provider MS.  When I did, it has allowed me to create a restore point.

    Thank you.

  • Failed to create system restore point exception exception c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,control_rundll,"c:\windows\system32\sysbm.cpl",system

    Original title: I can't do a restore point.

    I get exception c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll,control_rundll,"c:\windows\system32\sysbm.cpl",system what can I do?

    This has happened for a very long time.

    Does really say '... sysdm.cpl "?"

    Is that what the text complete and accurate of what the message said exactly?  (there is no sysbm.cpl in XP, but there's a sysdm.cpl).

    What happens if you click on start, run and enter in the box:

    sysdm.cpl

    Click OK - the system properties box opens?

    What happens if you click on start, run and in the type box (exactly):

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    Click OK - is the open window of the system restore?

    What is exactly the process (step by step) you are using when you try to create the restore point and when in the process you see this message?

    I think it's a miracle that the Microsoft support engineer can provide a link to an article when the error message report you is a little out of whack and articles doesn't mention your error message at all.  It's real good troubleshooting or clairvoyance!

  • Why my WinXP Media Center will not create a restore point?

    For some reason, I just tried to create a Restore Point manually. I see that none have been created and stored in the past. I also see that it is turned on, because it is unchecked to enable the system restore on the system restore settings. So why, when I check create A Restore Point and click Next and write a description and click on create, make a box that says that system restore is not able to create a restore point? He also says if he please restart the computer and restart System Restore.

    I tried and it does not at all. Just the same thing happen again.

    Fixed! I decided to turn the system restore settings on the Restore page of the system (which will scan all the nonexistent restore points!) and then turn it back on. Now, he lets me create a Restore Point. I called him restore test, and now I see that on the list of the points of restoration as the only restore point. This list was empty before and no days were clouded on the calendar on this page.

  • Failed to create the restore point

    Hello

    I think I can off the coast caused a problem if I ever recover my laptop which is a Pro L450D phone by changing the settings in the system protection box in windows 7.

    I was looking to create a restore point before I upgraded to Windows 7 with service pack 1 and in the creation and restore area I noticed that 3 disks were available to have system protection turned on but only 1 was actually activated system protection? OS Install (C) had no active protection system and I think the recovery partition, WinRE (D) allowing for the protection system was the system disk, I'm not sure at 100%, but of course the 3rd entrance was my DVD player, in any case what I did I clicked to turn on protection for the disk OS Install (C) and an error pops up saying that it was not possible I clicked on ok and when this error went off the screen I noticed that the drive is now enabled for the protection of the system, but he was now also the system disk? and the 3rd disk seemed to disappeared from the region where the available drives appear? I'm a t a loss as to what happened but I think the worst cases, it's that if I ever want to recover my system through the recovery options, I'm not able to by changing the settings of the system, any help on this will be appreciated, I created the recovery disc when I first bought the laptop before I did anything else still with a bit of luck , I hope that this will be my go out the wrong card if I need to use or restore the system in this way.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
