System Restore never works

• Key board does not work correctly when you type. Can not get the system restore to work properly, either

  Tried to run the system restore, but it will not restore.

  Hey AnnEdelstein,

  Because you can't get the system restore to work, perform a clean boot on your Windows XP system. The guide to that is here. Which follow, and then try again to Outlook. If it works to the minimum, then boot in the boot, analyse the whole system with your Antivirus and other security you have.
  Also make sure you have the drivers for the keyboard. Search for the manufacturing of the keyboard, and they should have the drivers on their support site. I hope this has been helpful!

• Windows Installer, iTunes, Windows Update, system restore not working under Vista

  For the last few weeks, I deal with an inability to install new programs in Vista, and I was unable to open the system or iTunes restore not in Mode without failure.  I can't install the windows updates that were downloaded, nor my laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-CS215J) will close properly.  I tried the system restore and used to let me open for a bit, but now iTunes that no longer works.  Occasionally, when my computer starts, it loads only for blacks and not go any further.  I run Kaspersky Anti-virus and used to run Spybot S & D (which is more open) and can't find anything that will solve this problem.  I can't properly download/install updates http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4 and delete the temporary files have not helped.  I don't know if I have a lemon of a computer or what happened, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello CWilson13,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Windows Vista Forum.

  I would like to ask you a few questions.

  1 > what happen when you try to restore the system to normal mode?

  2 > are you an error when you try to install updates from windows update?

  3 > you get an error during the installation of other programs?

  About the judgment issue please check if you are able to stop the laptop in safe mode correctly. If Yes, then we must verify the issue by performing a clean boot. Clean boot will help us understand if the problem is due to third and put into service or services.

  The steps to do a clean boot is given in this link:

  www.support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

  You can also download the latest pack of windows install 4.5 and try to install programs.

  The link for windows install 4.5 is:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

  Regarding the Itunes I suggest to uninstall Itunes and Quick time to the computer and download the latest being and install it after installing windows install 4.5.

  I hope this helps. Please let me know about the results so that I can help you.

• system restore only works in safe mode?

  Original title: why my system restore won't work except in safe mode?

  I wonder why the system restore doesn't work on my system more except in Mode without failure. I tried to disable my anti-virus and run a program on my HP Pavilion system that corrects all files that may be lost or got corrupted. I made sure the system restore is still in Window\System | 32, I disabled updates, restarted the system, tried the restore without success then turned on automatic updates. I went to every possible useful article (not!) I can find on the web or Microsoft, and nobody seems to know what to do.  Yes, I can do a Safe Mode system restore, but I want it works on my system itself.  Any help out there?  Thanks for your time. So :)

  Without knowing what anti-virus product and/or security you are running on your computer, it is virtually impossible to answer your question.

  On the off-chance that you use Norton - Norton is known to cause problems with the system restore and this problem is addressed in the Symantec Support here page:

  "Message:"restoration incomplete. " Your computer cannot be restored... "When you run Windows System Restore"

• can not get the system restore to work

  tried to get the system restore back to an earlier time. says I need to get rid of the useless programs.did who. I have also some icons for files, tools or downloads

  In addition to what has been mentioned, consider the following:

  First of all, what is the last time that the restoration of the system worked?

  Check your system restore settings:

  1. Click Start
  2. Right click on my computer
  3. Click on Properties.
  4. Click on System Restore
  5. If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
  6. If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "

  Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.

  To do this:

  1. run Disk Cleanup

  2. click on more Options

  3. under system restore, click cleaning of

  4. click on OK

  This will free up the space. System restore needs a minimum of 200 MB of space to work.

  Hope this helps

• System Restore stopped working on its own

  I went to use the system restore as I have several times in recent years (suspecting slow start could be due to a corrupted system file). Don't work - get a message that the restoration could not be completed. Tried several restore points; same thing. Even though I knew that I do not turn it off, I checked to make sure, and no problems - it is turned on (the box disable is not checked). I even tried to create a new restore point, rebooted and tried to restore it. Same error message. Any help as to why it has stopped working or more importantly, how to run again, would be appreciated.

  On a separate note, I still have my original duly paid for WinXP Pro disk and it wouldn't simply reinstall. But do not want to try if I'm having trouble getting activated. Did I meet a problem activating the latter since there is a record of me already activate this copy in 2008?

  Thank you.

  You are welcome Bert

• System restore not working not because of an error unspecified "buffer overload. How should I do?

  My computer is working great and I was about to start a new project. I decided to organize my files first. I moved a file, went it was too large and would take too long, so I canceled the action. Somehow it deleted the file without warning. The computer has become slow. Tried three different restore points, no joy. I have a HP DV7 AMD Turion X 2, 64-bit Windows Vista (all important and recommended updates are installed).

  Hello
  
  What was the location of the original file?
   
  , Note 1: You can check the file into the trash and see if you find the file here.
  Note 2: System Restore will not help recover data loss. You may need a third-party recovery tool that does.
   
  Important: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
   
  Method 1: Because the system restore does not work, you can make the SFC scan and see if that helps:
  SFC scanner. Analysis (sfc) System File Checker will Windows replace corrupted or missing system files on your computer.
   
  Scan sfc enforcement procedure:
  a. click Start, click all programs, click Accessories, right-click command prompt and select run as administrator of .
  b. click on continue or provide administrator credentials if prompted.
  c. in the type in the following command prompt window and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow

• System restore not working anymore. Error message source %SystemRoot%\registration ComPlusStaging destination. The shadow copy of volume set to automatic. System Restore resets several times.

  New Sony Vaio, Windows 7 Professional, Avast AV, PCTools Firewall. Problems on the first day. BSOD (not seen in Windows 98) appearing randomly, large memory dumps without obvious reasons. After about 2 weeks, I found that the system restore did not work which is surprising since MS said that the OS is stable and reliable. Door on this forum and many others via Google and I tried a lot of suggested solutions, but nothing helped.

  System Restore is an important equipment and I don't understand how he can be so easily broken. It seems to be a common place among users of Win 7 judging by the number of posts on the topic, then why has MS has not released a fix to protect the system restore? Silly question I suppose to have no response.

  Please, if the contributors to this excellent forum can help get my status on system restore, I would be really grateful. I spent over a week trying to find a solution without posting here, but did not succeed in my business.

  TIA

  Trust that the party went well?

  Sony gave the question of restoring the system and told me that the only solution is to go back to them for a return to the delivered status.

  I decided to take your advice earlier and forget it and use a third-party backup system.

  EASEUS Todo Backup just released as a free update. New interface user and services, backed up just my C:\ drive in 15 minutes approximately.

  Worth a visit as is their new version free Partition Manager.

  Thanks for all your help has been invaluable.

  Best for 2011

• I can't get the system restore to work. What I am doing wrong?

  "The response from the computer is always: cannot restore to this date.

  Maybe a conflict with your antivirus application.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/healthy.html (the server has a problem with several of the most relevant pages 1645 EDT Fri Sept 23.  If the pages do not load when you visit it, wait a bit and try again).

• Can't preform the XP system restore. System Restore is turned on but never successful when he preforming.

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas: my system restore worked correctly for a while now.  I have not installed new software or hardware.  My HP printer has ceased to be able to Scan at the same time that the system restore stopped working.  As far as I know it was when I got a big update from Microsoft.  Appreciated all help thanks

• Why my system restore has stoped working and 1 problem more too!

  Hello, I hope that some people may help me with my 32-bit vista, 2 cpu to 1.9 Ghz Intel, gateway comp. GM5420, G965 express processor and directx 11 or 10 and I run Avast Anti-virus.  My SR = system restore has worked for many years and now the past 3-4 months whenever I need it, it starts as usual, but at the end it says error could not change your system. No file or folder have been changed.  The only thing I can think is around the same time, 3 to 4 months ago, I found and started using some utilities to clean up my computer.  I have 4 different services who clean things different from vitsa. I wonder if 1 of deleted then a file that I need to use SR?  And if not how can I repair my vista then SR woeks again? Thank you

He worked as my messenger hotmail from microsoft that works very well. I uninstalled yahoo messenger and reinstalled several times but each time that nothing works. I can sign but can't click on anything. A s error message opens and says can not find the web yahoo page you are looking for. I really need my email yahoo to work right as my hotmail works very well.  I wonder if its my IE9 that something has changed there and now yahoo of just work, I don't know just a guess. Its driving me crazy why these two problems came earlier when I've never had a problem with either an ever sice I had this beautiful Vista computer.  Please tell what to do easy to understand the answer I can do what you think I should do to solve the two problems? Ok.  Thanks for any help. Ok

  There is no file to download from Microsoft; I'm sorry.

  Certainly sounds like the registry cleaner has done by the removal of 10% of the files.

  If SFC does not help, you will need to follow the rest of the information available to me somehow. (ask about DVD).

  Or save your data and reinstall Vista.

  You don't say what brand of computer for Recovery Options and you say that you do not have a Vista DVD; but a recovery disk came with him...

  See you soon.
