System Restore will not restore the selected date, even if the date is in bold in the home

It just says: cannot restore the selected date

Usually, this is caused by your anti-virus program is interfering with the system restore.  Norton is especially guilty of this behavior.  Try restarting your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly tap key the F8 key during the restart of the computer), and then perform your safe mode system restore.  When it restarts after you perform the restore, allow him to start in normal mode.

  • 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."

    computer inheirerted of father and you want to restore the factory installed vista system but do not know the password of admin fathers

    Hello

    You should not have a password to reinstall Vista.

    Microsoft prohibits any help given in these Forums for you help bypass or "crack" passwords lost or forgotten.

    Here's information from Microsoft, explaining that the policy:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/keeping-passwords-secure-Microsoft-policy-on/39f56ef0-5d68-41AD-9daa-6e6019c25d37

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Hello

    Have you tried to close all programs and then insert the disc? Restart the 1st and then try it.

    If no joy:

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  • PS5 will not change the date registration

    PS5 will not change the date when I save a document I'm working. I tried save as and save and it keeps the date of the photo, in this case, a scanned image that swept the 09/07/11 @ 15:49. I saved many iterations of the PhotoShop photo and the date remains the same. I tried it with other photos and even once, it retains the original date. If I open in AI5 and save it, he recorded with the current date. Am I missing something here?

    I use the current build 12.0.4 x 64, Win7 Home Premium

    Chances are Windows found the folder a folder "photo", and explore does NOT show you the date of the modified file.

    Personally, I hate having "automatically" selected multiple views for me, and I tweaked my copy of Windows so that it always shows me the "General items" view all records, be they full of photos or music or something else.

    You can check this by clicking on the name of the folder in the Navigation of Explorer (left), and then selecting Properties.  On the Customize tab, see what it says in the "optimize this folder for:"selector. ".  If it is different from the general items, change it to general Articles.  This gets you a good "Date Modified" column, indicating the date of the file.

    If you want to make a permanent change to Windows 7 (so all new folders are displayed in the form of General items in the folders, and automatic display selection is disabled), a value can be added to (or changed in) the registry as follows:

    Registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]

    Do you have the Time Capsule (TC) connected to the extreme, by wire or wireless? What is your goal for the TC? In other words, will not be used to extend the reach of the extreme wireless?

    Looks like you might be confused about what do models DW (.dwt files).

    Model DW are not used by the server, they are only used locally by DW himself. Download a .dwt the server does nothing for the child pages on your server.

    When you change a .dwt file, DW asks to update all the pages associated with it (you might have broken depending on whether the error). When you click "Update" DW changes all child pages associated with the .dwt locally. You then download all of these child changed pages.

    The .dwt itself needs to be on the server, if you plan to share it with someone.

    If you do not use a .dwt, could you explain your workflow a little more in detail?
