• You want to connect to Xbox Live 360 using labtop. Cannot use WMI. Windows says THAT WMI is damaged, use the system restore. System Restore will not restore to any point I use.

  I tried to connect to Xbox Live on my Xbox 360 to internet using Wi - Fi to my labtop. I want to enable sharing on this topic in the Advanced tab, but I get the message that says WMI is damaged and I need to use the system restore. However, the system restore will not restore the system at any time I choose. What is the solution?

  OK you have an ETHERNET cable? (cable for PC to the Modem)
  What OS do you have?

Then you right click and press 'CONNECTION of BRIDGE' (requires administrator privileges). After that your DONE! Just check if it works on your XBOX 360!

• How can I restore it to work again? Ity will restore to any point of control.

  I tried to use Restrore at each checkpoint blackened.   The message says: "cannot be restored to this point of control."

  As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

  What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

  Have you ever used the system restore to restore your system in the past?

  Describe exactly what happens when you try to perform a system restore and the error messages you see which indicates that it does not work.

  Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

  For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:

  Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...

  It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:

  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013

  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.

  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.

  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.

  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).

  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

  Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

  No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

• My computer has recently been very slow. I tried to do a system restore, but any date "BOLD", I select, it won't restore. I have done in the past & have this problem.

  I've set up earlier a manual restore date when I did a cleanup, but I don't know how to get back to that either.

  XP system restore should only be used in certain circumstances. Why do you think it's necessary?

  What do you mean by "I did some clean-up?

  There are two main explanations for the failure of the restoration of the system. The first is the presence of malware. The second is a program such as Norton or ZoneAlarm that interferes with the process:

• windows system restore 8 at an earlier date?

  I want to use to restore the system to an earlier date. How do I do that?

  Hello

  In order to restore the system to an earlier date, you must have a system that is created on your system to a previous restore point date. Press the Windows key + W, type System Restore in the search box. Results, click create a restore point. Now in the System Properties window, click on System Restore. Now you should be able to see the system restore point created earlier. So you can restore the system at this point.

• I want to do a "System Restore" at an earlier date than when I did a "System Restore Point"; How can I realize this "System Restore" to a date that is earlier than the "System Restore Point"?

  I am running a version of Microsoft "Vista." I want to do a "System Restore" to a date earlier than the 'Restore Point System' which is steeped in external memory of my terminal (and apparently in memory of boarding school of the terminal).  The terminal shows only the "System Restore Point" that I had introduced manually; How replace this erroneous 'system Resote Date Point' so that I can get rid of things that I wish were not included in the drive of my terminal?  Specifically, the "Ready Boost" option has ruined my terminal memory drive; That's why I want to get rid of with a "restoration of memory", but there is no other precedents "System Restore" options.

  Hello

  You will be able to perform a system restore to a restore point created or present on the system. If you have no restore point created before the questions, then you will not be able to restore it.

• The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

  I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

  In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

  And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

  Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

  Hey, Jose,

  I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

  I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

  The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

  "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

  'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

  • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
  • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
  • No disk compression
  • Did not display the warnings system restore.
  • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
  • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
  • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
  • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
  • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
  • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

  "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

  This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

  • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

  "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

  • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

  "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

  • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
  • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
  • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

  "To answer your question:

  The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

  • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

  I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

  "Do or do not. There is no test. »

• I have Win XP and my system restore doesn't give me an option to reset to an earlier date. This option is not yet available in my file system

  When I go to start, Control Panel, system and click on system restore, there is no option for me to use the system restore back to an earlier date. I downloaded WinZip and it said I had grown pilots. NA not have money to pay for the update of the driver of Winzip, so I went to intel and had updated the drivers. After that, my pages was ok, full screen. But this morning when I turned on my computer, my office is full screen, but all the fonts were tiny! Then when my screensaver is, there was black on both sides of the photos and the photos were more full-screen. Some were on the right, the left and come inn in the middle with black on both sides. I could hardly read my icons on the desktop. I went to view and enlarges the most important fonts. But I have nothing I couldn't even my Web pages to fill my screen. I removed the update of the driver of WinZip from the computer. So, I don't know if it's happening on the site of Intel or where I updated without updating the driver of WinZip?

  I tried to use my system restore because WinZip Optimizet n did not check for outdated drivers, I never should have gone to Intel to update. My Internet Explorer opens full screen but the pages he pulls up is located in the middle of the screen and I can not develop full screen.

  Is there anyway that I can get my system restore to open so that I can go back to an earlier date and have my computer back? All that is on the page for my system restore is: System Restore can track and reverse harmful to your computer changes: a box to check 'Turn off System Restore': disk space: and the State: (C): monitoring. That's all.
