recovery system does not open

When I click on the recovery of the system, it does not open.  I am running windows xp professional 2002.  I tried to update, but it freezes when trying to install the program active x.  I tried to run it, rundll32.exe advpack.dll, LaunchINFSection % Windir%\Inf\sr.inf too, but I don't have the disk to install xp service Pack 3.  I think it was a downloaded update so no disc.  If at this point, there is no way for me to do a restore of the system if necessary and no way to get the updates even if they are set to auto.  I also scanned for a virus that found nothing.

Hear you the system restore will not launch at all or it does not start, and you see just a blank white screen where the calendar should it be?

It is not difficult to reinstall the system restore (not reinstalled XP - only the part of SR), but to see how this other idea it works.   Reinstall SR will destroy all your old Restore Points and leave you with an another fee.

It is easy to reinstall the system restore.  Here's how:

Assuming that your XP is installed on drive C of your computer:

As you go through the reinstallation of the RS, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.

If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

Navigate to c:\windows\inf, and right click on the following file:

SR.inf

Choose Install

If you can not see the sr.inf file, set up your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the file c:\windows\inf\sr.inf.

Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

You don't need absolutely a CD to do the reinstall SR because files must already be on your system somewhere if SR was working before.

If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

If the request to a file and you don't know where it is, let waiting for installation and click Start, search, then search for the requested file and find it on your system.  If SR has already worked before, the file is already on your system somewhere.

Search finds the requested file, go back to the installation and specify the path where you found the file requested and click OK.  Installation can request several files along the way, but you can find them all.

If you still can't find the files, let us know what is the file you need and someone can download on his SkyDrive and you can download it.

Here's how my system works when I reinstall SR when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

When you are asked:

SR.sys

Point the install in c:\windows\system32\drivers

When you are asked:

c:\windows\system32\srclient.dll

Point install it in c:\windows\system32

When you are asked:

Filelist. XML

Point of installation at c:\windows\system32\restore (or c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386)

If asked:

xrstrui.exe

Point installation c:\windows\system32\restore

When you are asked:

srframe. MMF

Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache (c:\windows\system32\restore)

Once installation is complete, you will receive a message that you must restart your computer.

Restart your computer and look at your schedule of SR.  You should have a new point system control in your calendar.

Now is the right time to test your system restore process, from one end to the other.

The day that you think you have need of system restore is not the day, namely that it does not.

Reboot your system and without anything running (no browser, Outlook, etc. - just the basics), manually create a new Restore Point, restart your system and see if you are able to restore your system to the Restore Point, you just do.

  • Recovery Manager is not open / create recovery discs

    I have a laptop of G61-410SA and have problems with the hard drive. So, I would first try to reset it to factory settings. Now, I would like to create the recovery disks, but the Recovery Manager does not open and when I go through F11, creating a disk is not available.

  • My computer will not open certain programs, and the system does not.

    I have really no idea what's wrong with my computer, so I'll just list the symptoms.

    The first and foremost problem is that my computer won't open some programs.  First thing I noticed when I tried to open iTunes and it did not open, no matter how many times I tried.  I went to restart my computer, and that opens up a host of new questions.

    My antivirus - Windows Live OneCare - software does not open.  I tried to turn on Windows Defender for malware, but it crashes when I try to do.  Not only does iTunes opens, but neither a few other programs I have on my computer--mainly those who could help me to solve this problem, such as the restoration of the system.  When I try to uninstall a program - all - nothing happens and he refuses to let me try to uninstall anything else, insisting something is already uninstall.  And my computer can't detect my printer.

    Which leads to my other problem: I have two computers connected to a network via an Ethernet cable.  The other computer is fine and can access the Internet fine, but when he sends something to the printer, nothing happens on the end of the printer.  It is a red 'X' the symbol of my network on my computer in the lower right corner (next to), so I guess this confirms my concerns about the network.  I don't understand what exactly is the problem, just that the other computer cannot print (it is not connected directly to the printer, mine is).

    Because Windows Live OneCare and Windows Defender does not work, I can not scan to see if it is the result of spyware or malware.  And because whenever I click on the system restore, nothing happens, I can't restore the computers to something else.  I'm completely stuck.  More critical functions simply do not work.

    If you have Vista then the Windows 7 upgrade that will take and install without problems, but the editions between operating systems need to be adapted, Home Premium, Home Premium edition, or higher, you cannot switch to a lower version.

  • the system recovery media does not support this computer

    I have a HP G7-1365DX and the hard drive (750 GB) is a failure.  I did a recovery file on a USB key from the recovery partition and then replaced the hard drive with a 120 GB SSD.  When I tried to reinstall the USB system, I get the message "the system recovery media does not support this computer."  Is it because the hard drive was replaced by a SSD?  How to restore the system if the recovery disk does not work?

    Hello

    You are right about the source of this problem - HP recovery media often has problems of restoring the operating system on a smaller disk in quality than appeared on.

    There are a few options available.

    1. if the 750 GB drive is still able to operate, use your recovery media to perform a factory reset and then use software (or Windows 7 own imaging utility) for this clone of your SSD.

    2 create your own recovery media to use to run the installation - it would be my personal preference.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    Refresh your PC goes like this:

    • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
    • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
    • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
    • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
    • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.

    If you were able to connect as another user, the issue is not lack of storage - this is the same computer.

    Yes, your .plist file may be corrupt, or you could have an extension conflict that affects only your user account.

    Try the start mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system does a lot of cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.
