• Vista system restore question after malware attack

  Hello.  My wife's computer has been attacked by malware.  It all hid on the desktop and the start menu as well as all his personal files, has launched a large number of pop-up windows - up with fake error messages and then prompted to pay an unknown technical support source.  I used the Vista system restore to restore the system to a few days before the attack.  According to the instructions of Windows help, the system restore should not affect his personal files.  I was hoping that his files would be present again after the restore, but they are still missing.  The malware seems to have disappeared now.  Any suggestions on where its files can be located or what measures you need a professional to get back them?

• WIndows Vista system restore or/relocation question

  Currently, I'm working on my uncles computer. Its operating system is a 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Here's how to use the system restore:

  ________________________________________________________

  Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ____________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought it (which you should have like you do not have a disc)

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  __________________________________________________________

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

• Question about a system restore?

  It is a bit of a long story, but I think I want to do a system restore. I help a lady with her computer, and I think we have uninstalled some programs or something that has to do with the Agency because whenever we try to save a document and then open to the top it says the file is not a valid Win32 application. The only way to open the document is to go into Office or Excel 2010, click on 'File', then open it up there under "recent." My thought is to make a system before we restore have uninstalled items. Do you think it will work? Everything that we have uninstalled will return? In addition, if she has made changes to the documents since we uninstalled programs changes will be gone once we go to the previous date in the system restore? Thanks for your help!

• Hall 20: I can't do a system restore to overcome the refusal of the system to accept the password.

  I did a restore to factory on the Pavilion 20. Pressing me F11 has troubleshooting screen and I chose the system restore. All right

  I set up the UserName Admin and the password carefully (but don't think to do a password recovery disk).  I installed a different AntiVirus Norton application, a default value.  So I uninstalled Norton.  It required a reboot to complete uninstallation.

  This is where my problems started.

  Upon restart, the computer will not accept the password!  There is no mistake here.  It was carefully designed and entered in the creation of duing twice.  I even considered perhaps that I soon take my finger on the SHIFT key (twice) then tried many variations of SHIFT or no change for the capitals and even the next character in the password.  I restarted 50 times trying to get just one time and then I would like to choose a new password for connection.
  
  For the next, I thought I could just do a restore of the system from zero and re - configure again.  But now there is no option for me to use the system recovery.  This option is missing!  I spent many hours on searches of google for similar problems.  It's just not there.  I tried to use F10 and F11 to enter the system recovery.  I get to the menu troubleshooting and it has 3 options: Refresh uoir PC, reset your PC options and advanced.
  Clicking on advanced options gives me the system restore (a restore point (doesn't) usung) System Image recovery, startup repair, command prompt and UEFI firmware settings.
  
  I'm positn gthis in the hope that I can do a system recovery to the command prompt.  Is this possible?  If this is not the case, how can I do a system restore when the OPtion is not avaiiable?

  Hello Newton51

  It will display the number of full model of the computer.

  I don't know what happened on your system but when you do the reset of the system, don't go not advanced.

  You should be able to click on reset your PC. That will erase the C: partition and reinstall Windows.

  

  When its finished, and you get to the part where it asks you to create a password for the user, LEAVE BLANK.

  Restart to make sure you can connect without using a password.

  IF you succeed at this stage, create your HP Recovery Media via the HP Support Assistant.

  If you enter an impasse once again, recovery media will wipe the drive and reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

  NOTE: HP will allow you to record only one copy of the recovery media, so not to interrupt the process when you start.

  Now remove Norton and restart.

  Install this that never new you want security.

  When you're done, go to your user profile and carefully create your word password but do not close yet.

  Create the key to reset password on a USB key.

  Now restart and test your password.

  You have a USB reset if it doesn't.

  ----------------------------------------------------------

  If you are not able, or do not succeed to reset the PC, you have two options. Use the MS media creation tool to create recovery media (from another computer).

  Then, reinstall Windows 8.1 and download your HP drivers and install them.

  Or

  Order directly the appropriate recovery of the HP Support media.

  Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

  Choose the country you are. Choose Help, then to the House.
  Enter the full product number and follow the prompts to contact Support.

  Chat with an agent will ensure that you get the appropriate recovery media.

  Hope that helps.

• Satellite Pro A300-1 system restore has 8 Vista works not

  I wanted to use the system restore because of the attempt to reconfigure the administrator rights, its somehow deleted all my shortcuts on my menu and messed with a few things.

  However, when I try to use the system restore (I tried to use it in safemode, via cmd promp, bunch together and normal), but all seem to keep hanging in the same green page where you can read something in the sense of "system is initializing restore etc" (spend 45 minutes on this page until I get fed up and shut down the computer). I tried to use different restore points the same thing happens. He loves his work not at all.

  Can anyone help with this please?

  My laptop is a Satellite Pro A300-1 to 8.

  Hello

  You mean the Vista tool, which is located in (Start button-> all programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore) does not work and you cannot set back the Vista until the early time?

  Well, usually there's not much to do to restore the operating system to start time the point you have to play the System Restore tool and choose the restore point. Then everything should run automatically.
  If this doesn t work while something is messed up as you said in your ad above somehow deleted all your shortcuts in my menu and messed with a few things possibly operating system was messed in.

  Try to clean the operating system by using the freeware CCLeaner for example. I also use it. It s great. Repair and clean the operating system and check if it is possible to use the system again restore tool.

• Missing system restore points

  Take a look at my system restore points, I found that it was not. There is no reason I know for it - system restore has been on, but being created no restore points - I turned it off and then new and now that it will create restore again points.

  Something happened to me I was had been looking at some dodgy sites "make money on the web easily" just out of curiosity. Anyone know of any malicious dishes that destroys the restore points. It would be a sneaky way to stop the removal of spyware.

  Also I noticed some automatic update of Microsoft had just completed installation - would this have deleted restore points? From what I read the auto create restore points updates not remove them.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  I found this info:

  If there is no free disk space on the monitored system drive or on any of the available non-system drives, System Restore purges restore systematically points in all monitored partitions to free disk space. If the free disk space falls below 50 MB on any monitored partition, System Restore will stop watch and suspend.
  Note: Some users have reported that using the Real Player One has been deleted and restore points. Please check your log to the system event viewer for events to restore the system to a volume error event.

  But these are questions of Microsoft and if you want to learn more about these issues with the tool to restore the system you must check this information from Microsoft site:

• Pavilion 2000: Using the system restore

  I used the system restore in the past and I know it took a few hours to complete with good results, as it eliminated the problem. Last week, I used the restoration of the system, the screen turned blue and the restoration began however this continued for more than 3 days!  I was unable to use my laptop for so long. I saw a blue screen with an icon swirling in the Center. Miraculously, the day 4, he came back to life, but immediately began to update the apps I had checked to only not to do. It took an extra day. Actually, now it's back to normal. I am now afraid to use the restoration of the system again. What I've done wrong?

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

  Could you provide your full computer model - information can be seen from the service tag sticker > > http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Miscellaneous-Topics-Read-Only/Advice-for-asking-the-quot-Very-Best-Question-quot/td-p/83280 ?

  Could you confirm your OS - is this Windows 8/8.1 now?

  I see your previous thread in the attempt to upgrade to W10...

  I'm not sure about what you were wrong (if anything), but

  System Restore is a feature of Windows that usually takes minutes (30 minutes max) in full, not hours, not days. It restores the Windows registry, files/settings of the system to a previous state and is generally quick.

  Do you mean the system recovery or system reset/refresh?

  These are different things. These restore original Windows or format partitions on HARD drive - it can take an hour or 2-3 max but not days.

  If these (especially system restore) lasts days, there is indeed something wrong with the operating system.

  Looking forward to your confirmations.

• System Restore / level Specs

  Hi all

  I have a two part question.

  This first part is I have a MacBook Pro that has begun to slow and there a bunch of unnecessary stuff slowing down and too much space.  I would like to do a system restore back to factory settings.  I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch, mid 2010 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (I think originally, it came with Snow Leopard).  I need the installation CD to complete the restore from the MBP with Snow Leopard and I do not think that it is supported with online from Apple Downloads?  Or I would be OK end restore download a current OS X from Apple because I am running Yosemite?  I am sure that I have the CD somewhere, but can't seem to find it right now as I am moving.

  Second, I think I can help increase the performance of the MBP after restoration by installing increased RAM and an SSD hard drive.  Currently, I have 2 2 GB RAM chips for a total of 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 250 GB HDD, processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 320 M with 256 MB.  I think I want to install two chips of 4GB for a total of 8 GB of RAM.  https://www.iFixit.com/store/Mac/PC3-8500-4-GB-RAM-chip/IF111-036-1 Also install a SSD hard drive, https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/500-GB-SSD-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-Hard-Drive/IF107-098-3

  Upgrading the RAM and the hard disk in this manner would help improve performance?  I like to keep the MBP for a little longer until I can get a new one.

  Thanks in advance for your comments because it's the first time I try something like that.  Yes, I have class time machine backups as well.

  Yes, helps to increase the RAM - new version of the OS needs a minimum of 4 GB - 8 would be much better. Regarding your relocation, was your updated firmware to allow for the recovery of the internet? If Yes, you can (or not) have a problem again with your installation DVD - I got an iMac 2010 and tested different scenarios; the installation DVD works once out of 5 tries; given that the firmware has been updated, I tested the recovery of the internet (Command + Option + R) and installed Lion (10.7). You can update from there. Here's the info on who could be updated of the machines - you can check your:

  On the updates of the EFI and SMC firmware for Mac computers with processor Intel - Apple Support

  If you just use recovery on top of what you have, then you will not get rid of the unwanted installs, files, etc. as it simply installs the operating system on your current OS - all third party files are still there.

  If you decide to remove/reinstall, make sure you have a first backup you will lose everything when you delete it.

• 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.
