• After a system restore to a time before Windows XP, should I leave Safe Mode and restart normally? What other steps should I take in Mode safe?

  After a system restore to a time before Windows XP, should I leave Safe Mode and restart normally.  Completely restored restore operation the registry both before the intrusion of viruses if the date and time specified as the restore point is earlier than the time of the intrusion, but in the same 'on' the cycle of computer?  I have to do something else before going back to safe mode?

  System Restore IS NOT the way to remove malware. The reason why you do not see the effects of the malware in safe mode is probably due to the fact that the process for most malware does not load in safe mode, and therefore not active.

  Restart the computer in Safe Mode with network. Click HERE. Download Malwarebytes. Update Malwarebytes and perform a full scan.  Choose to quarantine found nothing. Once completed click HERE and download Superantispyware Portable. Run a full scan quarantined found anything yet. Restart your computer in normal mode and perform a quick scan with Malwarebytes.

• System Restore does not: Windows XP, getting the error "system restore has not initialized because windows stops."

  "System restore has not initialized because windows stops."

  This message keeps me from using system restore any previous date, I chose. Restore fails every time.

  Window shutsdown too early. What can I do to prevent this?

  Try to boot mode safe (the F8 key as the computer starts from the tap) and run system restore from in Safe Mode.

• How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore? my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  How can I recover the files and programs before a system restore?  my document folders are all empty and my programs will not open!

  I know they are there and hidden somewhere, but this restoration took my settings of the computer to 2004! We lost all our data, our software that we use to operate our company at home, our quickbooks that has all our financial data, family photos, videos, Outlook will work not so no e-mail, all turned in time and 6 years ' worth of documents have disappeared.

  What happeneded was that I was trying to upgrade to quickbooks software when I got an error, I cancelled out of the facility, then restarted and that's when I got an error hal.dll something? I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

  I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

  Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

  Thank you all!

  Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

  Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.

• How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

  How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

  Hello

  You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

  However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

  Let me know if I can help you with this question or any problem related to Windows.

• Windows XP System Restore does never work on my T500...

  I run a T500 2082-8WG as and experienced first time that restoration never system works (it worlks well with other portable). I can create a restore point and I can choose to be restored and gets it the entire process through until the new shoe, but it still says: the system could not be restored to a point...

  What can I do?

  I think I might try Lenovo tools for it but I was reluctant to do so far.

  Thanks for any advice,

  Ignacio

  Winows system restore can be influenced by different utility software; in particular virus scanners. If you choose a restore point running in SafeMode (F8 at startup), it should work without problem.

• Envy of HP dv7-7332ea - System Restore does not work on windows 8

  Hey there,

  I recently bought this machine about a month ago. I used the Windows 8 System Restore feature to restore my pc to a previous state.

  However, after running it, I got a message saying: it failed and to ensure my anti virus is disabled. Accordingly, I have disabled Norton and tried again but it still does not work.

  Previously, the only problem I had with the pc was that he locked himself completely and therefore I turned off the machine that I have been unable to close.

  When I rebooted, HP Support Assistant could not run and so I uninstalled and then reinstalled from website theHP. It is now resolved. The thing is I'm a little scared that something is wrong with the machine that is the reason why I think that the system restore does not work.

  I'm a newbie on the computers here. Could you please give me some advice to diagnose if there is nothing wrong with my machine and fix the system restore?

  See you soon,.

  Damon

  Hi Damon,

  Norton is a component called 'Tamper Protection' that should be disabled before a system restore can be performed - for more details on this topic, see the following link.

  Disable self-protection.

• 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!

  You should also tell us a little about your system:

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  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..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Do you see that you think not you should see and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• System Restore does not not on windows vista & connection with HDMI to the TV problem

  Hello, we had a problem with the restoration of the system, that we are on family vista premium, we continue to get the message there was an error unspeccified and system restore did not complete. We don't have a norton security, but use AVG professional. We tried several different restore points with the same result. Also maybe it's a coincidence but connect us quite often the PC via HDMI to the TV, it has always connected without problem, it has also stopped working so the reason we thought that system restore has been the answer. Any ideas would be received with gratitude thank you

• System Restore does not work in windows 7? not even in administrator mode

  WINDOWS 7 IS MY OS. AM NOT ABLE TO RUN THE SYSTEM RESTORE. HE IS THERE A NO RESPONSE AFTER I SELECTED THE SYSTEM RESTORE SEVERAL TIMES.

  Sushant salvation,

  To help you better, please answer these questions.

  1 you get a specific error message?

  2. you try to restore the computer to an earlier time?

  3. you try to create a restore point?

  4 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem.

  Method 1: Try to perform a system restore, safe mode.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you are able to perform the system restore in safe mode, I suggest you perform the clean boot and check that there could be some third-party application that may be causing the problem.

  Step 2:

  Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 of the link to start the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Important: If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you can't undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point, if any.

  Undo system restore

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/undo-system-restore

  Method 2

  You can also try temporarily disabling computer security software and check if it makes a difference. If the system restore works fine after you turn off the anti-virus, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings

  Disable the antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If the problem persists, perform the restore from Winre system.

  What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
