  System Restore will not work

  Hi FriendFriend,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  3. you receive an error message when running the system restore?

  I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to clean boot.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• 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.

• System Restore does not work, once again.

  Hi, I read a topic of 2010 that has not yet been answered. I worked with a tech at Microsoft by e-mail, but when I answered: System Restore didn't work. Now it does not work yet. I had installed Returnil system safe, but I got an error msg 0 x 80004005, (third-party antivirus), so I uninstalled the program. I went through the registry and delete something with Returnil all 4 sections of the registry. Remove the common files folder that was left after uninstalling. Restarted my computer several times. I use MSE, with free versions of spywareblaster and MBAB, who are both at the request not in real time. I tried to restore to a time before I had installed Returnil first, (I installed and uninstalled 3 times in 2 days) and could not. I tried to use a snapshot to restore spywareblaster and managed to restore to the point 2 x before installing because forward the installation of point returnil has been altered. At the moment no malware has been detected and no threat of MSE. What to do next?

  Thanks in advance for any help. Liz.

  Here's my usual route to find out how to reinstall System Restore:

  If you have already run MBAM and SAS, temporarily disabled your antivirus and anti-malware applications and tried your Safe Mode system restore and you still get the restoration of the system to work, you must reinstall just your system restore.  You do not have to reinstall XP - just reinstall the system restore part.

  System Restore is a frequent target of attacks by malicious software.

  When you reinstall the system restore, all your current Restore Points will be deleted and you must restart your computer once the installation is complete.  After the reboot, a new Restore Point will be created as a new point of system control in your calendar of SR.

  If your system had a malware infection, it could be that some of the files in your old Restore Points are also infected up to wipe out the 'old' and new is often a good idea if you wonder if the old Restore Points are infected or not.

  Assuming that your XP is installed on drive C of your computer:

  As you go through the reinstallation of the RS, the resettlement will be asked to locate certain files as you go along and ask your XP installation CD.   If you do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can change the path where Setup looks for files one at a time, because they are needed.  More on that later.

  Navigate to the following folder:

  c:\Windows\Inf

  Locate and right-click the following file:

  SR.inf

  Choose Install

  If you can not see the sr.inf file, set up your system to show hidden files and show file extensions.

  Click on tools, Options, view and turn on "Show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then you should be able to see the file c:\windows\inf\sr.inf.

  Installation can request files from the c:\windows\inf\386 folder.  It would be your installation CD bootable XP genuine if you have one and the Service Pack installed on your system must be the same as the CD that you will use.

  You don't need absolutely a CD to do the reinstall, because files must already be on your system somewhere if SR was working before.

  If you are prompted for a file, and you can't find it where I suggest in my example below (it works on my system), you need to search your hard drive and find where the files on your system.

  If the request to a file and you don't know where he is, let waiting for installation and click Start, search, and search for it
  has requested the file and find it on your system.  If SR has already worked before, the file is already on your system somewhere.

  Search finds the requested file, go back to the installation and specify the path where you found the file requested and click OK.  Installation can request several files along the way, but you can find them all.

  Here's how my system works when I reinstall SR when I pretend that I don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD:

  When you are asked:

  SR.sys

  Point the install in c:\windows\system32\drivers

  When you are asked:

  c:\windows\system32\srclient.dll

  Point install it in c:\windows\system32

  When you are asked:

  Filelist. XML

  Point of installation at c:\windows\system32\restore (or c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386)

  When you are asked:

  srframe. MMF

  Point installation c:\windows\system32\dllcache (c:\windows\system32\restore)

  Once installation is complete, you will receive a message that you must restart your computer.

  Restart your computer and look at your schedule of SR.  You should have a new point system control in your calendar.

  When you get SR working again, I ran MBAM and SAS to make sure that your system is reasonably clean of malware.

  The day that you think you need to help the system restore you is not the day to discover the system restore does not work, then you need to test.

  After the reinstallation, manually create a Restore Point and test the restoration process and make sure that you are convinced that it works from one end to the other.
