• 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.

• You had to do a system restore, now my windows will not update

  I had problems with the 10 of Windows Update causing a blue error screen permanently.  I tried to do a "reboot of the PC" to correct the error and it would not be completed even when left for 2 days.  I finally had to restart my computer and press f8 to not get stuck in the Windows Update screen.  With no system and no other available option, it was suggested to me to do a restore of complete factory restore points.

  I did the restore and now I have even more questions.  My windows update does not work, I update of windows troubleshooting, but it does not work and my computer says always "looking for updates" and updates are never downloaded.

  My fan is running continuously since I did the restore to factory, and my CPU usage is 75 to 90%, even if I did not open any programs.  Norton told me that Microsoft is responsible for the high CPU usage, but I don't know what to do about it, because I obviously don't want to disable Microsoft.  I'm not sure how to upgrade my Windows at 10, or if I'm still able to now...  Which sucks since I had to do due to the problems caused by Windows 10 programming initially.

  Another update of the issues, I got zero problem with a feature of my computer before resetting.  Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

  My computer is a HP Pavilion g7-1320dx laptop, and bought in 2011.  Please don't tell me to get a new computer... It's definitely a software problem.

• System Restore get sound but then left after a day or two

  Sometimes (this happens more often lately) when I turn on my computer, all the sounds are gone. When I run the system recovery, the problem is corrected, but after a day or two, the sound disappeared again. The only noise which is not affected is the very done beep when the loader is fired. How can I solve this problem?

  Just guessing but if the system restore fix the noise
  problem and after a day or two it goes again I

• Try to do the Vista system restore, get the error saying the disabled protection system.

  According to the instructions on how to turn it on, it is already stated as on.  Also noticed last restore point listed as on 30/03/2011, even if I run windows update automatically and should have several retores points since then.  How can I fix it?

  Hello

  I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps:

  Method 1:
  If you have installed a security software on the computer, then I suggest you try to disable temporary and check to see if the same problem happens. Make sure that you enable security software back once the diagnosis is made to prevent the computer from virus attacks.

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

  Method 2:
  I suggest you try to run the System File Checker. System File Checker tool will solve the problems of missing or corrupted system files on Windows. It determines which file is causing the problem, then replace the file.

  It will be useful.

• Add ons manager crashes after doing a Windows 7 system restore.

  Firefox has been restored from 23 Version to Version 20. Now, none of my Extensions or PlugIns appears and when I click on "Get Add-ons" I just get a "loading" and it crashes. I tried to delete the files extension.ini and extensions.sqlite and restart Firefox, but that has not worked. It seems that the add ons and extensions are there, but just not accessible through add on Manager.

  You would not lose personal data as extensions installed as long as you would not choose to delete personal data wouldn't you uninstall Firefox.

  You should always be careful with the system restore feature because Windows does not show you what files are restored.
  
  It is highly likely that some .ini. and the .js files in the Firefox profile folder have been returned to older versions.

  Have what kind of problems you had with Firefox 23?

• System Restore DVD Vista vs Windows 7

  I'm new here and I apologize if this has been asked before.  I looked around and tried to search but can't find my answer.

  I just reveived my new HP Pavilion dv7t last night.  Notebook Essentials booklet says to create a set of DVD system restore, but This can only be done once.  I am in the process to register for the upgrade to Windows 7 snce is expected within a week.

  Should I go ahead and create the restore DVD system with the Vista operating system, and if I do I then will be able to create another System Restore DVD for Windows 7?

  I want to assure you that I have a restore of the system based on both operating systems, where I need to go back to Vista, but still have a system for Windows 7 restore, if it proves to be stable and I like the OS.

  I hope this makes sense...

  Make your Vista recovery DVD. Two reasons...

  1. you will not be able to do a cover of 7 Win set, (unless, of course, HP offers a magic here).

  2. If you install Win 7 and you need to reinstall it later, you will have to start with the Vista installation and repeat the upgrade process (unless HP upgrade version works differently from the retail... version did not get a response on this one here).

  Of course, you can always use an application of imaging to make an image of the newly installed Win 7 to use in the case of a reinstall. Acronis True Image or Macrium Reflect are 2 choices. Macrium is my preference.

  Hi chuckdutton,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. What is the reason for the execution of the system restore on the computer?

  4. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  5. you receive similar message appears when you try with different restore points?

  There are various reasons for the system restore fail on the computer.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

• recover my system. used to install Windows Vista. get the message cannot open the file E:\Sources\Install.wim. Also the code error 0 x 80070002

  So all this started because I tried to clean my computer to give to a friend. I tried refomatting the hard drive, but something was wrong here. After that, when I turn on the computer I get a black screen with message Bootmgr missing. I read a little inside and saw that I could download a Windows Vista recovery disk because my computer did not come with one.
  After that I downloaded and burned the ISO image to a CD, things started looking better. I got to the screen when you select the language and keyboard. Then install windows screen. My options there were 'Install now' and 'repair your computer '. When I try to install, I put in my product key that seems fine. The next message I get is "Windows cannot open the required file E:\Sources\Install.wim. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. "Error code: 0 x 80070002.
  When I try to repair, he said "select an operating system to repair, and then click Next."
  Operating System: Windows Vista (TM) Home Basic (recovered)

  If you do not see your operating system listed, click on load drivers to load the drivers for your hard drives. I try to select Windows Vista retrieved and clicked Next, but what is said "this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair" or get a recovery of tools such as repair system, System Restore, complete pc windows, tool windows and command promy memory diagnostic restoration. the only problem is he says operatins system: (unknown) unknown local disk...

  Any help would be appreciated. Really want to give my friend a laptop that wont even turn on. Laughing out loud

  This isn't an installation disc. It's a record of startup repair!
  You use the repair disk option, not Install.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11; Acer is in some models Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• 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.
