System Restore - UNSUCCESSFUL

• How can I fix what's wrong with my system restore when it is 'failed' to restore of any "Restore Points?

  Well, what is said.  I see all kinds of "restore points", highlighted in the restore calendar page.  But any day or I choose to restore point, the result is the same.  "Unsuccessful system restore" computer is returned to the...  (I don't know how they phrase it exactly, but the key is exactly the way it was when I started with optimism the restore process.)

  What is your system brand and model?
  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
  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)?  System Restore is not a time machine.
  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:

• System Restore will not work for any date and computer says that it is running in auto mode.

  I have a 30 GB master and slave of 160 GB. 26/03/11 I copied a large file of 11 GB of the master to the slave because I received alerts that the disc was or almost. After you have copied from C to D, I deleted the C file and the missing file of the two drives. I tried to use the restore of the system without result. No matter what I do "Unsuccessful System Recovery" is the only message I get. Is it possible to recover a file that took me hours to compile it?

  This looks like a self-inflicted wound / pilot error.

  Deleting files in the Recycle Bin does not release disk space.  When you delete things in the trash, all you really do behind the scenes moves the items from one folder to another folder (the folder to the Recycle Bin).  They always take place until you clear items from the trash.

  System Restore won't help you recover personal files anyway - this isn't what he does.  SR cares your personal files.

  A backup will help recovery of personal files.

  I think it's against the rules for people at Microsoft to suggest or sometimes even to read all the information of any URL Internet that does not begin with microsoft.com, where the previous warning about third party programs.

  However, I think that to get off the beaten track (as they say).

  This is a popular program of third party who sometimes helps to recover accidentally deleted files:

  It may be too late for your files, but I would also check the configuration of your trash if you have several volumes of hard drive from your symptoms question do not quite add up correctly.

  Even if SR would not help in this case, your SR expected still works what is another potential problem to solve.

  Now I'm folding stock and return things to the technical support engineers.

• BootMGR is missing and system restore hangs

  Hi my computer is having some major problems.i have an elite of HP Pavilion with windows vista (home I think?) 32-bit. I started this morning to find that he said 'impossible to start windows' and then I ran the unsuccessful startup repair. I ran system restore to try to solve the problem, but after he reformatted the hard drive, it bluescreened so now it's saying "BootMGR is Missing". my computer did not come with restore disks, so I borrowed one from a friend and he told me that there is no OS and it can't fix the Restorer of the system. Help, please

  Hello

  Looks like you may have a hardware problem

  and if the recovery process back to factory settings vista does not work, you will need to contact the computer manufacturer

  It's their recovery process not microsofts

  HP support

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

  HP support forums

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/

  read this and try this 1st

  You can't just borrow anybodys vista recovery disk

  manufacturer's recovery disks are the brand and the specific model

  for HP, press F11 at startup to start the recovery process

  or contact HP and ask them to send you in vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd

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

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Windows Vista not reponding: Windows Installer, Office 2007 (Outlook), add/remove programs, System Restore, etc...

  Gentleperson,

  • In Normal Mode Windows Vista will not respond to the system restore or the Add/Remove programs - without success
  • Chkdsk/r - unsuccessfully
  • sfc/scannow won't answer - no success
  • Msconfig.exe helped with a clean boot; However, this does not solve the problem...
  • Windows Installer is in auto status, but can not start; I have a 1053 error messsage... too slow

  As it can be seen, there is a problem with my operating system. I have a recovery disk to format my PC in its original configuration. However, I have not saved my files that I won't lose to the formatting. Please advice.

  Thanks in advance,

  Lhorea

• 1: 0x80042318__2 system restore error: Windows Media Player 11 will not work open__3: Internet Explorer 8 crashes when opening.

  I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

  So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
  It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

  Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
  "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
  An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

  Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
  Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

  Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

  Here are my system specs, in case that dans le cas ou c' est is somehow useful.

  Dell Studio 1535 laptop
  Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
  Service Pack 2 recently reinstalled
  Intel Core 2 Duo 4 Ghz processor

  Big thanks in advance to anyone who can give a glimmer of assistance. I tried searching on these issues online and found no help. My next step is the Dell technical support (.. don't looking forward not to y).

  Do you have these problems if you for testing purposes create a new user?

  Other things you can try after trying the suggestions "Sreenkanth T" is to run the ChkDsk program.

  Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found

  Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

  As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

  You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

  You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

• Fact a system restore and you need to download firefox so that it can work, but now have lost all bookmarks, is it possible to get them back?

  A system restore to see if that could solve the problem with registration to Xbox games. It corrects this problem, but firefox would not work. So I downloaded again, but now lost all bookmarks. Is it possible to recover?

  Chas65 said

  I don't see the restore function.

  Hmm, when you are in the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library, you have the menu "import and backup"? Restoration is expected to be in this menu.

• Firefox Sync has restored after a mysterious Win8.1 'no - system restore' by ~ 1 month; addons lost and bookmarks in this period.

  Situation quite messy/weird here. I woke up this morning to find that my Win8.1 was reduced to a 1 month whose state of my Firefox Sync State. Bookmarks seemed to be updated but not the series of modules. I clicked the sync button in the hope it would refresh things on the last saved state to my e-mail last night, but he churned through and then my favorites, it was missing the last 1 month. I'm having problems with WIn8.1, too, that event viewer shows no system restore (and will not allow me even open the system restore) and event poster Viewer half a dozen updates Apps I never user as the only activity that happened during the night. Any ideas on wtf that happened here and how fix?

• How can I find downloaded emails that disappeared after the system restore function?

  I restored Ubuntu 14.10 at an earlier date, but the previously downloaded emails since my online account after the restored date disappeared. Where can I find them? Data is backed up on a weekly basis.

  I have no idea, I suggest you to ask what you actually do on a forum of Ubuntu Linux. My guess is that you have completely replaced the files with the 'old', so the data are missing. Long experience which is anything "System Restore" or "system reset" will lead to nothing other than high blood pressure, gnashing of teeth and the loss data.

  If you happen to find a latest version of your profile files, the information here should help. https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Profiles-TB#w_where-is-my-profile-storedUbuntu

• System Restore wiped out to my favorites

  Please help I just did a system restore and after it restored all my 50 or so bookmarks gone how do their back thanks to all in advance

  It is possible that the obtained profiles.ini restored an earlier version and you have switched to another profile or new profile has been created.
  If you had reset Firefox after the date of this restore then point it probably happened.

• I need to recover the Favorites after a Windows system restore.

  After doing a restore of windows on Windows 7 Pro, I have only the default bookmarks on my view your bookmarks"" button. In a backup of the system a few months ago, I got the files and folder Appdata Firefox Profiles. I tried to replace the new profiles of 'empty' to the former, but without success - I still have only the default bookmarks. Thanks in advance for your help.

  Note what to do a system restore will probably replace the profiles.ini file and all the profiles that are made after the date of restoration will not appear or be accessible through the Profile Manager.
  
  If profiles are still there, then you can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of an existing profile (choose a folder) of re - save profile.

• Add ons manager crashes after doing a Windows 7 system restore.

  Firefox has been restored from 23 Version to Version 20. Now, none of my Extensions or PlugIns appears and when I click on "Get Add-ons" I just get a "loading" and it crashes. I tried to delete the files extension.ini and extensions.sqlite and restart Firefox, but that has not worked. It seems that the add ons and extensions are there, but just not accessible through add on Manager.

  You would not lose personal data as extensions installed as long as you would not choose to delete personal data wouldn't you uninstall Firefox.

  You should always be careful with the system restore feature because Windows does not show you what files are restored.
  
  It is highly likely that some .ini. and the .js files in the Firefox profile folder have been returned to older versions.

  Have what kind of problems you had with Firefox 23?

• System Restore has been removed and bookmarks and bookmark backups

  Hi, my father-in-law has tried to install a speaker sound systems on his PC and needed to return to a previous configuration using the system restore. He has done this, but lost all its bookmarks firefox during the process.

  I don't know if it is to install the necessary drivers Sonos or restoration that did it, but his last backup of bookmarks is yesterday. He also seems to have lost his browsing history (and I guess, all of its cookies too).

  Is there another way to get back them?

  Thanks in advance...

  Just an update: the driver to install and/or the system restore had Firefox set up a new profile. I was able to restore the bookmarks from the old profile via RDP remote (really desperate Phonecall)

• I clicked "forget this site", I can cancel it by running the "System Restore" function to retrieve my story?

  I clicked "forget this site" and I am looking for a way to undo it. I have heard say there is no way to retrieve the history of a particular site, once it has been deleted, but surely, it leaves some kind of record in the system? I read an article that suggested running the "System Restore" feature which gives me the option to "restore my computer to an earlier time" before that some changes have been made. Would this work?

  Hello, windows system restore will not restore the file that contains the history of firefox unfortunately (it's called places.sqlite). you would need a backup of your firefox profile folder to retrieve such data.

  Please also update firefox - the version that you are currently using is outdated and affected by many security vulnerabilities.

  Update to the latest version of Firefox

• If flash player problem, there is nothing wrong to do a system restore when he was working and not day of flash player, but firefox update?

  flash player update and update of firefox is not compatible. Do not play videos or connect to web sites and freezes... Solved by doing an update of windows system where he was working. This gives you a work of flash player, and you don't update and cancel the automatic updates. You can update firefox. A simple solution, just type in system restore in the start menu and follow the directions. Worried if there are drawbacks.

  Thanks for the replies. Here is my story: after the update of firefox and flash player June 22, I was unable to use my computer effectively. I am retired and use the computer for research, the entertainment and recreation. and I could not reach sites, found sites gel, could not play videos or hear telephone conferences. I tried to replace the flash player with older versions of the flash player, but kept receiving messages that the installation failed and I needed to install the latest version, I tried to get rid of. I also reinstalled firefox and flash player disabled player real and cleared the cache and cookies. I did not disable the protected mode which seemed complicated, I knew how to clear cookies in firefox at the time here.
  I decided to do a system restore before June 22. I have found that installing and reinstalling and put to date had exhausted most of my system restore dates, but I was able to find one on June 3 and he ran. If other people will try this fix, they should do it before he runs of dates.
  The fix worked, and I have not seen any bad effects. I have no files or important data. I see that this could be a problem. However the difficulty of making a system restore is running much less than firefox in safe mode or some of the other methods of obtaining an older flash player which I have been unable to do. Also I don't know how to disable the protected mode or quick acceleration, but I see that people should be judged with the fix of real player before doing a system restore which seems to be a last resort, for your comments.
  I was more concerned about security than with the loss of data. It seems that adobe tries to protect firefox users of problems with viruses with protected mode, and using the flash in prior non-protected mode was what I've been concerned. However, if I couldn't use the computer, the protected mode was not any help. I could stop and protected him, also. I didn't suggest others to do this fix if it was dangerous, but for me it was quick and easy to a moment that I was about to give up. I wanted others to know about it, because it works, but I didn't want to be the cause of unintended consequences. So I guess I have found, use the fix at your own risk and try first the other sollutions.
