• Is the system restore wiped XP Recovery disk space?

  I definitely OE deleted messages, and then wipe the hard drive.  I need to do a restore of the system because of an annoying popup Windows start happened after deleting some files after you uninstall an HP printer.  A system restore will cancel the changes on the hard disk, allowing thus the recovery of these messages permanently deleted using Recuva or another program recovery?  That I don't want to happen as I am to get rid of the computer (I bought a new).

  If you you debarrassez of your PC anyway, why not simply wipe the hard drive with a program of format-based security (Google can help)? Even if the system restore does not return emails, there is still a lot of information on this computer, so that you can not someone else access using a different type of deleted file recovery program. Never made a purchase online? Access your bank account? May make changes to your social security account or 401k? It's all there somewhere.

  If this a brand like HP or Dell PC, you should have a recovery or disk partition which will allow you to restore the first day.  Which will be enough to thwart the average snooper a little better than average.
  If it's not, and you have the OS disk, you can wipe it off yourself and do a clean install.

• Will there be any problem of reactivation after the XP system restore?

  I just do a system restore (if out-of-the-box original factory of the machine) to a disk image.  After starting in Windows XP Pro SP2 I have entered configuration information initial requested as well as (as requested) Windows product key, but I jumped the (reactivation) activation step for now.  The motherboard has been replaced a year ago and I added RAM.  I all provided with the machine when you purchase including an OEM Windows XP SP2 "Recovery disc".  Will I have problems trying to activate/reactivate Windows or do I have to call Microsoft customer service to begin with.  Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  If the replacement motherboard was provided by Dell and Windows XP is as you mentioned a Dell OEM Dell recovery disk is required to provide support by Dell with Microsoft license agreement. If the computer is still in warranty, then support should be free.

  Activation should not be a problem as long as the product key belongs to the OEM recovery disk.

• on windows xp, my system restore to a previous restore point. have you tried many restore points & creating new ones but the system does not restore. all the solutions out there?

  on windows xp that my system restore to a previous restore point, I tried many restore points & created new ones but the system displays "could not be restored", any help out there.

  Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

  It's windows xp.

  If we knew more, you would probably now.

  What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

  The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  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, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  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:
  http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013
  According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
  Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
  That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
  Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
  Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
  No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

• How to recover "Favorites" on browser after using "System Restore".

  After problems with the systems updates (update failed), I used 'more than 5 days of system recovery' to return to the time before the problem started. After the recovery of the system, all my "favorite quote" disappeared and I want to get back them.  I have an old backup DVD and wonder if I could use my computer until the back ups. The problem is that I don't know IFI load the DVD into my hard drive would do the job.  I'm afraid I can complicate the issue more before that I don't know what the DVD of loading would.

• 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.

• 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.

  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...

  Hi Carolinelightfoot,

  This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

  Method 1:

  You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

  Method 2:

  You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Hope this information is useful.
