PC "not responding" after starting a restore point system & does not stop

I'm running a restore system (Vista Ult) point and PC "unresponsive".  Is it safe to disable or reset manually?  What problems could result if I just press reset?  System retore worked for 4 hours now!

All advice is appreciated!

This is far too long to make it work - it froze.  Alternatively, you can press reset if you have such a button on your system (didn't on mine) or you can press on and hold the power button until the system stops (this is not really good for the system and should not be done normally, but you have no choice in this situation).  Then restart it and log in again and try to make the system back restore point.  This time start by disabling your AV software as this sometimess interferes with the process.  Do not open anything else while the system can focus on the creation of the restore point.

If it freezes again (the process should take 30-45 minutes maximum), then again and restart in clean http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929135?p=1 mode and try to restore the system from there.  If it works, use the procedures in the article to find the cause of the problem with the process, and remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once that is done, don't forget to restore the system to normal status according to procedures.

If it still does not in cleaning mode, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly on the F8 key during startup until the menu appears), and try to create the restore from there point (if it will let you - I'm not sure that's possible in safe mode (, but it's worth a try).  If it works, at least you have a method to bypass the creation of restore points.  Then we' ill have to work out why it doesn't work in normal mode but let's first.

I hope this helps.  Post back and let us know how it goes anyway.

Good luck!

  • Why Software Distribution 3.0 appears on my Microsoft (restore point) system restore almost every day?

    original title: software distribution service 3.0

    Why Software Distribution 3.0 appears on my Microsoft (restore point) system restore almost every day?  What is it?

    The Software Distribution Service 3.0 Restore Point is created when new Microsoft updates are downloaded and installed.

    Depending on the configuration of your system, the updates can be downloaded and installed automatically as we never see what is happening.

    For example (this is what I usually see), if you use Microsoft Security Essentials and an update of MSE comes out every day, you can't "see" anything on your system to tell you about this, but when the ESM update is installed, a new called Restore Point "Software Distribution Service 3.0" will be created. "

    If MSE gets several updates per day, you will see a new PR of 3.0 SDS created for each of them, so it would be possible to have several SDS 3.0 Restore Points per day.  Alternatively, you can have one for MSE and another for some other day.  Some days you won't see any SDS 3.0 created restore points.

    Of course, there are other reasons, you might see a new SDS 3.0 Restore Point and you might be curious to know what is all just never one see you.

    Among the technical support engineers Microsoft will surely be able to tell how to look at each new SDS 3.0 Restore Point you have and tell you how to determine exactly what was in this update of the Software Distribution (if you're curious).

    The reason in question do not contain the required information may be because there is no incentive to enter the required information when you create a new question.

    The odds on this planet someone reading "How to ask a question" before asking a question are extremely unlikely, therefore (if the forums wanted more useful), the forums Microsoft Answers would invite for information, when a new question is asked.

    Even the discussion in the article "How to ask a question" is quite ridiculous that it does not describe the same basic information that should be in a new topic.

    This gross oversight in the way the new positions are created in these forums in frustration results, guess, lost time and wasted cycles then message that this information is being collected.

  • lost the disk in drive C even after disk cleanup (Restore Points)

    I lost a few GB of space in my drive C. I checked the forums and found restore points using little disk space. I went to disk cleaning and deleated old restore points and then I changed the MaxSize parameter for 2BG restore point.

    After having done that, I got around 3 GB of free space.

    Even now I can see 4.2 GB of space lost in my drive C. Please find the details below.

  • Window remains white screen after starting windows screen. the system hangs after Mup.sys on safe mode

    The title pretty much everything said.

    The problem occurred on a fault that Dell Vostro 2510 with the additional option should only do the downgrade of Win Xp (from Vista).  As noted, on normal startup, the system will remain in a blank screen after the Windows Xp "loading" screen.  And on safe mode, it will join Mup.sys and then hang there.

    The closest thing that I got from a web search was a thread in forum saying that the official info from Microsoft was that it was a question of Win Xp/motherboard (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/31874/?o=40 halfway to a post by Bobb Fwed).  The poster provided no link, so I don't know how official his info was really.

  • How can I close FF on Mac? After clicking on 'Close' the system does not close FF and I am unable to log out of FF. I've resorted to re - install FF.

    I have now 2 versions of FF race - anyone else having this problem? Thank you!

    Hello Martha08

    On your Mac, you have the activity monitor. You can find it in this folder: / applications/utilities /.

    You can complete the FF from there, just as the the Task Manager on Windows computers

  • During the closure of 2 windows (with several tabs), restore the system does restore properly the tabs in the window of the second. Is this a bug in the new update / all ideas to fix?

    I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs of each and session restore would work to bring them all back, but after this last updated the second window restores correctly, with the first non-visible tab on top (only in the menu drop-down) and now the button add a tab on the left (instead of right). Add a button to the tab is not really as far as concerns the other than it indicates other problems with the tabs in the 2nd window. No no not the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can't move or also easily navigate. Also, the tabs on the top of the 2nd window which are visible is no longer have the 'x' to close visible, except when this tab is selected. I'm assuming that it is a problem with the new version/update, since this is the first time I encountered the problem, and I closed and restored Firefox several times to make sure it was a recurring problem and not a one-time problem. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome (except maybe cramming my tabs on a window or it suck XD).

    Thank you for your help. None of your suggested solutions worked, but having just updated to 10.0.2 seems to have solved the problem.

  • No restore points available after reboot on Win 7 system

    My system restore does not automatically create a restore point and does not keep a restore point manually defined that after manually setting the restore point, it goes away after a restart. New computer with Windows 7 Professional. Put a lot of space on 500 g hard for the restoration of the system.

    Hi Jerry,

    You have a dual-boot option on your computer?

    Locate the service associated with the restoration of the system or Volume Shadow Copy Service is started after the computer is restarted. This service can be stopped by some viruses as well, so you can try to run a scan of your computer.

    To check the service

    1. click on start

    2. in the start search box, type Services

    3. click right on - RUN as ADMINISTRATOR

    Check if the below mentioned services has mentioned State and type start.

    Shadow copy volume started Automatic\Manual

    Also check the dependency services that are required for the System Restore Service run.

    To verify that double-click the service, and click the Dependencies tab.

    This service must be started before the restore point is created automatically or manually.

    Hello

    If the files are deleted, then you will need to use any third party recovery software to recover files.

    Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • create a system restore point cases printers stop working

    I have two HP printers (Laserjet 1536dnf & Officejet 6500) installed on a PC running Win7 64-bit.  Until January, they worked very well after Win7 updates (restore point created automatically).  Since then, any time a system restore point is created I lose access to these two printers.  By clicking on "Devices and Printers" opens the window and the progress bar goes to infinity with nothing found and the process must be closed with the Task Manager.  Printers are not accessible, but no error message appears.  Any reference to a printer causes this particular process hang and must be closed with the Task Manager.

    Both printers are wired Ethernet to Cisco E3000 router and are set up to be shared in the same home group.  Oddly, a second PC in Win7 that is connected via Ethernet to the same router, using the same two printers can create the system restore points without any impact on these two printers.  The main difference between the two is that the PC works an AMD based system, while the affected uses a system based on Intel.

    Printer is restored when I restore the system since early January restore point.  Any later restore point using simply reproduces the problem. I have searched the FAQ and forum but can find no cure.

    Hi Amundarken,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community and thank you for the opportunity to help you.

    After the description of the problem, looks like HP printers (Laserjet 1536dnf & Officejet 6500) stop working after you have created a restore point system.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following question:

    You receive an error message or error code?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: You can check the status of the Printer Spooler service after you have created a restore point system, if the Printer Spooler service is not started and then start the service and check:

    A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.

    To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.

    To change or restart the print spooler service, you must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps:

    a. click Startand then click Control Panel.

    b. double-click Administrative Toolsand then click Services.

    c. double-click the Printer Spooler service, and then change the startup type to Automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.

    d. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click Start in the area of The State of the Service .

    Method 2: You can update the printer drivers and check if it works.

    See the following articles from Microsoft for more information on the update of drivers:

    Update drivers: recommended links

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-drivers-recommended-links

     

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    Hope this information helps. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

  • Slow to open create restore point

    On my desktop XP 2.01GH with 512 MB of memory, 150GBdrive with space 11.1 GB used, creating a restore point takes 1 second to open. On my Vista laptop 2.1GH PC with 3GBmemory, 220 GB GB 60.5 disc, creating a restore point takes 3 minutes to open. I see other problems to users that it is quite fast but keeping in mind I am not getting any error messages or anything unusual happening, can someone please tell me why it should take 3 minutes Vista to open when XP takes 1 second? Would it be because of the higher space which need to be covered? If not, is there a way to speed up the Vista of 3 minutes?

    I don't have a concrete answer except tell you what I did.
    I had your situation several times and found out that if I did a cleanup of twilight and delete all except the most recent restore points, System Properties window would open much more quickly.

    CAUTION: Do not remove all your restore points like I said unless you are sure that your difficulties works well. Because you will not have any older restore point to fall back after the 2nd stage of cleaning of say.

    Tutorial of disk cleanup:
    It consists of 2 parts...
    In step 1 to 11, it's just the usual disk cleanup.
    Step 12 until the end, it is to delete all except the most recent restore points.
