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:

  • 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:

  • 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 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.

    1. send the EXACT message that you received.

    2. try Safe Mode system restore.
    Here's how to get safe mode:
    Shut down your computer > turn it back on and immediately and repeatedly press F8 key until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Safe Mode.

  • XP system restore not right

    Windows xp does not allow me to go more than three days.  XP will download but not install adaware.  Scan of Microsoft Security Essentials is clean.  Virus?

    First, you must be more specific on what issues you are having.

    For example:

  • 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"
