System Restore keeps failing
I tried all day to do a system restore. No matter what date choose for a starting point, when the process is finished, a window opens and says "system restore failed and no changes to your computer." It drives me crazy! All I want to do is run a system restore that works. Can you help me please? Thank you.
Hello
If you have Norton Internet Security installed, you should first disable Norton Tamper Protection as described in step 2, on the link below.
http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20091112171719EN&LN=en_US
Once you are done, turn off the PC. Windows system restore is usaully better run in Mode without failure. Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console. Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER. When it has loaded, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore. Choose a restore point, you want and then do the restore. When you are finished, Windows will restart normally.
Let me know if you still cannot deliver the issue to run correctly.
Kind regards

Laptop HP Emvy 15: System Recovery keeps failing
Hello
I'm trying to reinstall original OS (WIN 8.1). I use three DVD recovery discs provided by HP, but unfortunately for some reason any recovery keeps failing. Besides the machine will start only in the first DVD. According to the BIOS, the laptop was built in 2014 (which apparently has some influence on the recovery someware).
Any assistance woule be appreciated
Tony
Hi CherylG,
This somewhat embarrassing. My problem was solved when the operating system has been reinstalled. Initially I contacted HP customer care with a view to see what my chances were to have replaced the operating system. You see the recovery partition has been deleted by mistake when I was convinced to give a Linux OS a go. I could not get used and decided to return to Windows.
Anyway somewhere in the conversation with the customer service "re-install" became "valorisation" and a few days later, a system recovery DVD set arrived on my doorstep. As you know, I tried various methods to try to resolve the problem without success. Yet once, I talked to CS and it was decided that I send to the machine to HP (AWA) to Sydney for repairs. One day ortol later that I have received a call from a technician who asked if there were files or data on the hard drive that I need to be saved. I said nothing on the HARD drive and he said thathe would like to reinstall the OS. That's what the report says, reinstalled OS and the device.
I guess the moral of this story is to recover whatever it is there must be something to recover. That's why I kept getting the message "try to restore system failed" or words to that effect.
See you soon

Try to return to a previous version of Firefox, but the System Restore keeps freezing
Restore original titled problems: System
I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox 4, I'm not like the way it works on my laptop. Now when I tried "System Restore" to return to the old version, the "System Restore" process seems to freeze. Explaining the best process, I remember. He will ask me to select a restore point, I chose one. I'm prompted to select then I do. I wait about 5 minutes and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
I tried what you suggested.
What exactly have you tried?
Norton is installed on your PC?
Also, why not uninstall Firefox? (And then install the latest version.)

System restore image fails - missing Bootmgr
Recently bought more large hard drive to my PC at home - the system Windows 7 (from my old HD) image successfully created using native Windows 7 system image utility.
When you try to load the image on my new HD, it seems to work fine, however start fails with "Bootmgr" is missing error.
Have tried to use the restoration of utility system Windows 7 installation disc, but that does not solve the problem.
THX in advance for any idea / help
Hello
Windows 7 creates a 'Active' partition (drive Q in general) that the system boots from. You got the fine image, but probably not the Q score he needs to boot from. This partition is usually 100 mb in size and the beginning of the disc.
Here's what I would try first.
1) boot from the Windows 7 DVD and install it. Don't bother entering your key.
(2) when it is finished, apply your custom image on the new installation of Windows on the C partition as you did before. This should wipe the installation we just did and replace with your image. The boot partition will be set up and you should be good to go.I hope that this help... is not myself, but it should work fine. Mark <> Microsoft Partner

Original title: Windows 7 system restore always fail.
I get error code 0 x 80070005 that reads "system restore failed during the restoration of the registry since the restore point. I don't have Norton AntiVirus.
If anyone can help solve me this problem I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your response. I forgot to mention in my first post, I tried both methods without success. However, I finally understand how to solve the problem that led me to want to do a restore of the system in the first place. for now, I am therefore able to avoid a system restore.
Thanks again.

System Restore does not. Help
I get an error message when I try to use the system restore. It's turned on and create restore points, but none of them to restore my computer to an earlier time. All I get is an error message saying: System Restore has failed. Your computer system files and settings were not changed. I've never had this problem before. I tried several system restore points and I get the same error message.

The satellite L650-102 system restore failed-
I'm having a problem in my laptop internal speaker system. No sound from internal speakers, but the sounds coming from the audio input jack. So, I tried to restore the system restore point that is known, but the system fails to restore at this time there.
Please help me with this.
My laptop model is Satellite L650-102, part number: PSK1JE-0K800XAR
Hey
> So I tried to restore the system restore point that is known, but the system fails to restore at this time there.
And why does it fail? You get an error message or what is exactly happening?Generally speaking, it of necessary to write an accurate description of the error. Something like it doesn't work or it fails isn't useful and could mean everything.
Have you ever tried a recovery facility?

Satellite L500-19Z - system restore fails
I have a laptop running Windows 7 64 bit L500-19Z. A number of occasions, I tried to run the system restore but have so far failed. Any restore point that I select the system restore seems to work (initialization etc.), but when it restarts I get the message telling me that it failed with the proposal that he could have failed because of an antivirus running.
I use Zone Alarm, but have turned it off when you try to restore but it makes no difference. Yesterday, I made a mistake one inadvertently lost my wireless network adapter. There is a restore point that I could use to recover, but as I said above it still fails. At least I can get the system restore works, it seems I have to re - install Windows which I am reluctant to do.
Can someone help, please?
Hi anicholles,
In your case I would uninstall Zone Alarm. I didn t make good experience with this program and my firewall view integrated Windows is much better and doesn't make any problem for there part of the operating system.
Also uninstall or disable the AntiVirus software before you start the system restore.
To be honest I don t think you have a lot of options if it doesn t work. You can ask in the Forum Microsoft if it s a problem well-known but faster way may be reinstall Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think ;)

For no reason I known, my speaker in the toolbar at the bottom right keeps silent! I tried the system restore, but it happens again... more frequently! Help!
Hello
Check if you have a sticky on the keypad mute button.
The sound will actually mode 'secret' or is it just cut out. You can tell if you have the sound icon in your system tray, you can see the red circle with a line through when her mute.
If it's cut: the function of it cutting may be a physical problem. The system may not have enough juice to power the sound. Try playing the sound on a low volume. My other guess would be to update drivers and test.
If the problem persists, reinstall the sound card drivers and check if that helps.
