  When I opened the system restore, the only restore point that is displayed is earlier today.  How can I see earlier restore points?  And if the system is to keep only a single restore point, as seems to be the case, where and how can I change the settings to save restore points more in the future?

  Hey NoWorry

  read the information to understand the system restore works and see if you can check a box to see below more than 5 days restore points

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  and you can increase the size of the system to use for future problems restore

  the following example decreases, but you will be able to modify it according to your needs to enlarge

  plus size restore points more

• Vista Home Premium - cannot create a system - error (0 x 81000101) Restore Point

  I found the thread ""Microsoft Answers > Forums Home > Windows Vista > Security and privacy > Vista Ultimate - can't Create System Restore Point - error 0x800423F "and tried to follow the instructions for a similar problem but unfortunately I knew no chance to solve."

  After picking up my operating system (and emotional stability) after some type of registry startup problem (I think by installing automatic updates of Windows or trying in vain to remove a beta version of Windows Live Essentials caused), I am now unable to create system restore points.

  Not sure if it is a side effect of my previous diagnosis reboot-a-thon, defragment my HARD drive, disk cleanup running, karma for wanting to change the unwanted services from "Automatic" to "Manual", the result of a record of the ugly or another random event.

  When I try to create a restore point, I get the Protection system pop-up dialog (which seems even to have its own sound): "the restore point could not be created for the following reason: the creation of a shadow copy has expired.". Try this operation again. (0 x 81000101) Please try again. »

  I kinda like the syntax of phrase yoda "Retry this operation" but worried that system restore does not work.

  Specifications:
  ~ IQ818A HP
  ~ Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
  ~ Service Pack 1
  ~ 4 GB OF RAM
  ~ 64-bit
  ~ Properties system has already show "HP (c :)) (System))" as being selected for "automatic restore points" with the "most recent restore point" being yesterday.
  ~ (C) a 331GB of free space and 123 GB of unused space
  ~ (D) is the "FACTORY_IMAGE" of (c) partition and was selected previously, but then I tried to deselected it.
  ~ "Volume Shadow Copy" has been classified as "Started" and "Automatic" in the Services; I changed it to manual.
  ~ "Virtual disk" is listed as "manual" in Services.
  ~ Is CPU utilization to 99% with svchost.exe taskmgr.exe 31% and 49%
  ~ avast! The antivirus is active
  ~ avast! Scanner shows no viruses or other problems
  ~ Spybot scan shows no virus or other problems

  I disabled later, restoration of the system, rebooted, enabled the restoration of the system, restarted and then tried to save a point of restoration but no luck, I received the same error (0 x 81000101) as before. I then typed "net stop vss ' disabled shadow copies of volume storage in Device Manager, rebooted and activated the system restore and then tried to «Create a system restore point...» "once again, but nothing helped.

  I even removed the SD card that housed my ReadyBoost, just in case where that was having some strange side effects.

  I then ran sfc/scannow and must "checks 100% complete." but has NOT gotten any other report (for example "Windows Resource Protection did not any violation of the integrity." as stated on another computer to test I ran the same command on). I followed the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 and tried opening sfcdetails.txt but it was empty; Perhaps, the command still runs on my computer that seems to use a lot of CPU?

  After reading a bit more about the problem (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/826936 for Windows Server) and think about the recent very slow performance of some applications of system on my TouchSmart, I start to think that my previous tinkering with services caused something to load that should not or something not to load that should and therefore the computer does not have enough juice or is not properly configured to create a restore point. Do you think that this is the problem? Is there somewhere I can find a list of services by default OEM on the parameters (deferred), manual or automatic?

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you.

  Hi TouchSydney,

  After you disable and re-enable the system restore, you did a restart? This removed all your restore points?

  If this isn't the case, you might want to restore it to a date before all this happened, he probably still will give the error.  Disable and re-enable system restore to remove all restore points.  Restart and try to create restore points.

  You can also restore this way cleaning points:

• How to find previous restore points in Vista?

  I had Windows Vista Home Premium.  I then upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate... I would go back to the Home Basic edition, but when I go to restore points it only shows the restore points for these days.

  There is a checkbox to display the old restore points but it goes back only a few days and I need to go back a few weeks...

  Can someone help me to let me know how I can see the earlier restore points?

  Hi Francis,.

  Thanks for posting the query on the Microsoft Community Forum.

  From the description, it seems that the error revceive you associated with VSS snapshot.

  1. What security software is installed on the computer?
  2. Do you have any third-party backup program installed on the computer?

  To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest that you do Check Disk

  • Press Windows key + R
  • Type "cmd" to open the command prompt.
  • Type Chkdsk/r , and press enter.

  Note:

  If all available hard disk data can be lost when running chkdsk, as the chkdsk attempts to repair the affected area.

  Reply with more information about the issue so that we can help you further.

  I had the same problem with a HP dv5000 has an Intel Dual Core processor, after installed the 10 Pro Update window cleaning, after the update sent by Windows Update Service left me with this problem.

  Thank you post I did check in the menu properties C: Tools.

  After that, I was able to create a Restore Point.

  Thank you very much for your message.

• Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

  Hello
  I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

  Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

  Hi Anacondas,

  ·        Who is the manufacturer of the DVD drive?

  You can click Next when he invites drivers and try to install generic drivers for the DVD player and check if it works very well.

  You can also check in Device Manager if DVD players are publicly unknown peripheral unders and try to update and install the driver from the Device Manager and check if it helps.

  Access the link below and follow the steps to update the drivers.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

  If the steps above do not help, you do a system restore on your computer and check if it helps you recover DVD players.

  To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
  a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
  b. in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
  c. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem and then click Next, click Finish.

  The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  Access the link below to learn more about how to repair the operating system and how torestore the configuration of operating system to a point in time earlier in Windows Vista:

• All my system restore points are gone, can I get them back? They were here before, I did a restore earlier in the day.

  I have read through many of the issues with my problem similar but found no answers I thought applied to my question.  I use Vista Home Basic and it came on laptop. He began to get a blue screen, the other week that close... I signed on and it allows me to open my Cricket to go online and allows me to open IE and go online - I was for a few hours.  With all the previous still running I went to open AOL and the blue screen appeared again. I started to play and it seems that AOL is the reason.  System Restore fixed.  I could sign and use Cricket, IE and even AOL.  A few weeks later now I am online using IE and I had saved a few sites to my bookmark on the google toolbar.  I kept all the programs like I always do and clicked on AOL and of course, a blue screen and shut down.  I thought I'd make system restore as before... He's fine, but I noticed that when I went to IE my google toolbar was gone and I have several sites needed bookmarks so I played with the tools and disabled my toolbar and it permits etc. nothing helped so I defeated the system restore and signed for IE and google toolbar is back to normal but now AOL is causing the blue screen new.  I decided to try, then uninstall the google toolbar and simply re-install everything when I do a restore to get AOL works or to uninstall AOL and reinstall it again. I opened the system restore and that's when it opened and said there are no restore points on my system and take care to create a manual.  I'm afraid that if I do just that I lose the ability to restore my restore points, if there is a way (which means yes, you can restore the system restore points, but you must do before anything else, as if I created an it would ruin my chance to restore my 'old'?).  In any case, of course, I must have the computer checked as to why the blue screen is arise every few weeks but so far here, I want to do system restore to fix at the moment.  What can I do to get my restore points back?  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Diana,

  Thank you for answering... that's why I'm confused, I know not that restore points deleted as space fills up and also if you turn off your protection system but neither one of these grounds was the case.  I had a lot of space (from the previous use of sys restore, I see how many restore points can accumulate before deletion and it was not nearly that many) and protection of my system is on?  It just happened without reason that's why I was hoping that I could get back them due to abnormal circumstances.  I do not!  I have uninstall AOL completely and when I reinstalled it everything went well up to what he did and he opened up to find my connection type and of course, the blue screen appeared and stop.  Obviously, AOL, but I thought that a new facility would set as I had AOL since I was the new laptop.  I thought that maybe a file was corrupted or something and uninstall and reinstall would work but no luck.  I was going to do a complete reinstallation of my laptop all but before I do, I noticed I never had disks when I bought it, everything was installed (Windows Vista), but they do not include a disc of resettlement.  I don't know if this is how they do it now, or if mine was incomplete, so I guess I'll put hands on MS supports.  Thanks again!

  Hey CinnaBlaze

  you do not have a vista dvd to your computer preinstalled vista laptop has nothing to do with microsoft

• How to create a restore point earlier than planned?

  A program has been downloaded before the restore point earlier and I can't uninstall it.  So I want to restore my system to a point prior to that date.

  Hello

  You cannot create a what's available previous Restore Point.

  A Restore Point is created today for use in the future. not created today to be used in the past.

  There are only a certain amount of hard disk space allocated to the restoration of the system; by default, 15%

  You can increase it in order to help you in the future, but not now.
