Hi JamesParwulski,

Method 1
I suggest you to scan SFC.

  • Windows Xp Sp3 System Restore Points in the process of disappearance

    Without warning my system restore points are missing.

    I checked all the obvious reasons (lack of disk space, etc.)

    I can always put a manually restore point, but when I do it disappears the next time and I'm back to a restore point

    Anyone in the community saw this behavior before?

    Y at - it a known solution?

    I need my system restore to function properly as over the years, I've resorted to using it on more than one occasion

    Any help would be appreciated

    Keith

    I just got the 'volume' down on my percentage for RPs to 200 MB space and he killed all of them except the last RP.

    Then (although SR was always open) I did a new PR and there were two in the calendar.  Then I did another and there were three...

    Then I closed SR and began again and only the last one (number 3) was still there and the other two had been killed.

    Did you present your cursor percentage of volume, right?  If this isn't the case, you should at least try.

  • I looked under system restore points and the earlier it had was on March 27, which was still after that I got problems

    Good so my computer has some corrupted files... I looked under the system (Yes, including the section 5 days ago) restore points, and the earlier it had was on March 27, which was still after that I got problems... I want a later date... Help, please.

    Hello

    If there is no previous restore points until 27 March, including even more that 5 days more then they just do not exist

    and you can not do something which

    Follow these steps instead:

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

    If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

  • System Restore does not, component of volume shadow copy has encountered an unexpected error. 0 x 80042302

    This has happened before and my OS began telling me that it was not authentic, even if it was. Comes with the system and I have the key... but Ibuypower (which ruined my computer TWICE when they were 'building' and I had to pay for sending him back so that they can fix their screws) did not send my software disc. I have corrected the problem before making a system, safe mode restore. It was caused by a Microsoft Update... and they wanted me to pay US $250 to fix it (more than the cost of the OS!) I want to fix the problem for good however and I'm tired of feeling like these ups live problems software and updates happen just so that people have to pay more money. Is there a fix REAL for that matter? Or maybe just do as most of the others are more and just get the OS from torrents for free? Since paying obviously has no benefits, he claims too. Sorry, won't be a tail... its just very frustrating when you are trying to do things the right way and you still get screwed.

    Hello


    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Method 1 : start the Volume Shadow Copy service and see if the problem persists.
    a: Type services.msc in the start search box and click on enter.
    b: Locate a service called instant cliché of Volume and then double-click it to open it.
    c: Now start the service then click on apply and then OK.

  • Disable the creation of Automatic System Restore Point? -SOLVED

    Is it possible to disable the automatic creation of System Restore Point (to prevent Windows to create points of food every day and after (re) install programs / Windows updates)?

    I want to manually create System Restore Points because the automatic creation uses too much space, because I install new programs very often.
    Note that I still want to use system restore. I don't want it to be automatic.

    Hello

    Well, Yes, you can shut down the computer to automatically create restore points by disabling the system of protection under the system restore. System protection is a function that creates and records information about your computer's system files and settings regularly. The system protection also saves previous versions of files that you have modified. It saves these files in the restore points that are created just before significant system events, such as the installation of a program or device driver. They are also created automatically once every seven days if no other restore points were created in the last seven days, but you can create restore points manually at any time.

    Again, I suggest you to create a restore point when you turn off system protection. Basically, to store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new. The system protection, the feature that creates restore points, is enabled by default. We recommend that you keep System Protection turned on for all hard disks that contain important files so that you can use system restore if you need to.

    Check out the link to disable restore points:

  • 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.

  • The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

    I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

    In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

    And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

    Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

    Hey, Jose,

    I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

    I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

    The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

    "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

    'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

    • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
    • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
    • No disk compression
    • Did not display the warnings system restore.
    • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
    • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
    • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
    • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
    • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
    • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

    "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

    This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

    • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

    "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

    • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

    "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

    • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
    • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
    • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

    "To answer your question:

    The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

    • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

    I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

  • How to restore a significant update to Windows 7 I lost after a restart for an earlier version of the system restore point?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350 t. Recently, a malfunction of Windows at startup caused my father reboot the system to a previous system restore point. (He says it was one of several options at startup.) Everything seems to work fine now except that I seem to have lost a critical update Windows downloaded after the restore point, Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256. Still, there are in my Windows update history and is listed as "installed successfully", but when I check my updates installed, it is absent. Also, when I try to search for updates installed, I get a message indicating that Windows is up-to-date. I can't uninstall the update and re - install because it is missing from my list of installed updates. So I guess that the re-start to a previous system restore point has put this important WIndows update in limbo. How can ensure me that this update is installed correctly and working properly?

    Hello hakimbenzakis,

    Absolutely, because based on that you are running the latest version of the Windows Update Agent and have the last update to it.

  • 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.
