System Restore will not restore

When I try to restore to an earlier point (whether they are earlier today, or 1 months ago), System Restore tracks, restarts, and then he says, it cannot restore to the point and no change has been made.  How can I solve this problem?

Start your machine in 'Safe Mode '. (Press F8 while Windows starts)
Then run the system restore when you are using safe mode.
This almost always solves this problem for me.

  • system sounds will not play

    Dear Microsoft,

    I felt a strange problem I was wondering that you could help me with.

    For almost 48 hours now that I've lost the ability to play sounds on the computer system - don't be fooled here; I can play sounds through my headphones or the speakers, and I can play the audio file system in other programs.  It is only when you try to play through the 'Sounds' of the volume control Manager tab, all I get is an odd clicking effect.

    It's almost as if the executable responsible for controlling audio files, performing the action attached, stopped working.  Can you tell me how to reset this feature?

    Hi Hyncharas,

    Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

    To resolve the problem with system sounds, follow these methods:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to follow these steps and check if you are able to hear the sounds of the system:

    a. click Start , click Control Panel.

    b. click hardware and sound and then click sound.

    c. on the sounds tab, make sure that its regime is set to default Windows.

    d. on the Communications tab, select reduce the volume of other sounds of 80%.

    e. click OK.

    f. check if the problem persists.

    Method 2:

    You can also check out the link to correct sound problems and check if it helps:

    Tips for solving common audio problems

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems

    Method 3:

    If the problem is not resolved, try to restore the system to an earlier point of time before the problem occurred and check if it works:

  • Reference Dell system detect will not download

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3647 running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. It has 8 GB of RAM. Recently, I flashed the BIOS on the Dell Support website. It was version A04, and I flashed to version A05, without any problems. The next day I downloaded Dell system detect to check my complete system. Dell system detects is listed in my as installed Control Panel. The installing Dell system detects ran a few minutes (15 or 20), and then I got an error message that says: "the version of the BIOS is same or lower than the current Version of the BIOS. The installation will not continue.

    Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do to fix the problem? Do a new installation of my Windows 7 help me?

    Thank you

    Merton82

    This means that you are OK. The update of the BIOS worked. This should mean that the downloaded update is identical to what you have. I don't like this update program. It's confusing, and many have problems. You should ONLY do manual downloads and installation of just the BIOS or drivers you need. However, it is rarely necessary to download a BIOS updated or drivers. If you have problems with a piece of hardware, a new driver might help. Never a update BIOS unless find you other users or Dell it is absolutely necessary. Pilots don't usually cause problems if you download one that you don't need, but an update of the BIOS could brick the computer if something goes wrong, like a power glitch during installation.

  • install wondows 95 on a xp system, drive will not format or change NTFS in fat

    Hiya,
    Here are the current specifications for my computer,

    Microsoft windows xp professional,
    service pack 3

    Intel pentium 4 cpu 3.00 GHz
    512 MB of RAM

    Basically, I want the computer to work with a windows 95 OS instead of xp, (I have a boot cd)

    I tried different ways to format my hard drive,
    (booting from the xp disk, start the recovery console, giving the correct command request to start the format of drive c while changing storage type of ntfs to fat and when the format is complete I exit console early my computer and my xp is still running with all my files still saved)

    I also tried with the computer in xp by clicking on my computer and try to format the hard drive manually but it gives an error message saying "unable to complete the format".

    I'm to be stupid and do this wrong or is a problem of it is not not possible on my current setup?
    It would be appreciated if someone could help me or come to any solution as to how I can get 95 running if

    Hi Lewiscolli,

    Windows 95 (and their related components) will rise to a status not supported. After this date, Microsoft no longer provides incident support options or security updates. Microsoft does not offer an agreement of support for these products.

    If you have always wanted to install Windows 95 on Windows XP, you can format the disk on which you want to install the new operating system (OS) with the help of the Windows XP disc. You can format the drive in FAT instead of NTFS format, then you can install the Windows 95 operating system using the disc.

    You can follow the below mentioned article for more information:

     

    Choice between NTFS, FAT, and FAT32

    Hope this information help.

  • After replacing my motherboard in my HP system, Windows will not be activated.

    Activating a computer you already enabled...

    I have a hp motherboard went blewy, when I reinstalled another motherboard with all the same stuff he told me that I had to activate windows, wouldn't let me open a session and can not get telephone service to make his case either, it's hp that came with it installed and worked upward until the MB went up in smoke... can you please help?

    Hello

    The system is HP, and very probably the OS is OEM. As the motherboard has been replaced the operating system sees this as a new system. You will need to buy a new copy of Windows or contact HP for the media.
