  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.

• Two issues here, 1st system restore will not restore, also wireless do not detect all networks

  Prob with system restore is everything goes well until the pc restarts, then get the restoration of of message without any changes have been made to your computer, this tent after several different restore points.

  The prob with connection Wi - Fi (intel pro 2200 bg) is it doesn't find any networks, pilot verified also that his permit, any help there ain't a pc wizz so any advice appreciated

  System Restore is not a panacea.  If this can help depends on what specific changes you want to cancel.

  Which leads to the question: what is is happened just before things stopped working?

  You do not mention if one of potential errors 13 to restore the system applied to you, or if none did, this error message you got when you tried to use the system restore.

  To do this:

  Tried the keys that turn off wifi nothing not even the light that says its /running activated

  say that the light associated with your wifi adapter is not turned on or off?  If Yes, I suppose that the light is 'off' now, correct?

  Further, I guess that the wifi card is internal and you have a portable computer.  What is the brand and model of your computer?

  Open the Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
  Click on the + sign next to "network adapters."
  If there is an icon of warning/error next to an entry, double-click the entry and to report to what appears under the "Device status" and "Use of the device" (both on the general tab).

  Go to network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)

• System Restore will not restore complete

  My computer started running verrrry slowly, so I ran to the restoration of the system. I ran it several times, both in and out of Safe Mode, with different restore points, but the food never ends. I've also run System File Checker, but the system restore does not always end. I have XP pro, and all high priority updates are installed. I would be grateful for any suggestion, but please keep things simple. I'm not savvy in computer science.

  Thank you.

  I made a new user who had no Favorites (of course), logged as a user and just copied user Jose Favorites to the new favorites of the user folder and they appear in IE and work very well.  Favorites are just text files.  There is no register of edition.

  rpggamergal - is there a reason that does not work?

  If your user original is/was really altered, apparently tidy to subsequently remove it and if you change your registry database to point to the folders and files in the "corrupt" user account, they would all stop working.  Changing the registry will work (I think), but it's almost like cheating to me.

  If you change the registry, every time you make a new favorite, he will enter the profile that have been corrupted. Does make sense?   If it is really corrupt, I would completely RID.

  I don't think you should have made a new user first return to page 1.  This is not the problem with your system restore.

  How your system restore works now by the way?  This is your original problem.  Now you introduce new users, copy the profiles, change the registry, etc..  I've never had to do these sorts of things just fix SR.

  I think that your hole is to widen my friend...

• 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:

  http://www.Piriform.com/Recuva

  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.

  When I run the system restore I get message saying that it did not work properly and system has not been restored at that earlier time. This has happened several times now.

  Hello

  If you use Norton which will cause problems with the restoration of the system; clear all by doing the system restore.

  You would like to try to make the system Safe Mode restore, because that will often fix the problem:
