  Hello

  Method 1: I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.

  c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. click on repair your computer.

  f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• Scareware disabled program in group policy, System Restore cannot find group policy

  I recently got a virus on my PC, descended, scareware but it messed up a lot of parameters, it has happened and I fixed it with a system restore. This time I can't fix it with a system restore because there is no tab protection system, says it is disabled in group policy, but I can't find the group policy.

  I went to start > type gpedit.msc, I get nothing. I went to Start > regedit.exe to reach the system restore, I get nothing.

  -

  These are the problems that I have problems with, reason why I want to restore.
  -virus stopped my ability to display the hidden files and folders (so I couldn't remove it normally)
  -stopped my ability to display some folder options in Control Panel
  -When I try to open an application, it asks me which application I want to open it with, but when I try to open a file from an application, it works fine. I have to right-click > run as Admin
  -virus destroyed my ability to get online

  I met this virus before and he beat, but I removed it and he still has cornered me. I need to get to group policy, but can't find it.

  Sorry, but at this point, the most sensible thing is to do a restore clean factory/install of Windows. Back up your data first of course. If you still want to try other things, post in one of the specialty forums listed in the link below and get interactive help.

• System Restore cannot run ' do allow you the program following an unknown Publisher to make changes to this computer: rstrui.exe '? "

  I'm trying to run a system restore, and I have Windows 7.  The problem started when Yahoo hacked my Google with Firefox search engine.  I could not understand how to get my search engine to Google, so I tried to do a "system restore."  I get a message from "user account control" who says: ' do you want to allow the program following an unknown Publisher to make changes to this computer: rstrui.exe Editor: unknown origin of the file: hard drive of this computer. "  I think that rstrui.exe is actually the Windows program for the restoration of the system, but I don't think I should get a message like "Editor: unknown."  I ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Spybot, but came to nothing.  If my system restore has been disabled?

• System Restore is disabled

  Is it possible to recover deleted files accidentally while the system restore is turned OFF? I just found out that she has been set in this way.  When I turn it on, the restore points that appears is only recent, that is the time that I just put it to turn on or monitoring.  I thought I could recover the files, the files is very important.  I do not have the backup of it.

  Or maybe is it possible another way to recover one file other than the system restore?

  System Restore cannot restore the data files such as documents, pictures, music, and e-mail.  Its purpose is to restore the Windows system files, program files and registry settings.

  To restore data files, try a program designed for this purpose such as Recuva .

• Windows Home Server 2011 complete system restore problem = cannot start the LAN adapter

  Card mother Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H

  Network adapter Atheros AR8151 PCI-E on the map connected to the LAN Cat6

  Windows Pro 10

  Windows Home Server 2011 on LAN

  I had a hard drive failure partial who gave no symptoms or errors except a VERY slow start-up and operation.  I tried to do a restore of the entire system of my Home Server 2011 backups to see if, perhaps, just the image was corrupt.  USB was created and all drivers copied from pilots for the full system restore folder.  Has started the full restoration of the system and loaded the missing NETWORK adapter driver by using the scanner for drivers.  Driver support was successful but no lights NIC and the message "cannot find server".  NETWORK card was working fine before, even with the bad hard drive and also after the abandonment of the restoration.  Installed the new drive hard C:-System and that was the main problem, BUT..., the later to restore attempt was always the NIC starts not problem.  Tried the driver directly at Gigabyte support and drivers drivers for the full restoration of the system of records from several different backups.  No love.  Just NIC does not start after the specified load successful pilot.

  All good advice?

• Menu start cannot open or pane of Notification after system restore

  I think I might have discovered what caused my problem with opening the menu start before. I had an operation system restore and now cannot open the start menu or the notification pane. I tried to cancel the system restore, but that did not help. Does anyone know how to fix this without using the Windows restore feature? I tried editing the registry found here, but it did not work. The haptic feedback that happens by pressing the soft Windows button on the front of the computer worked again (because it is not this worthless), but the start menu still does not open.
