"Unable to make the system restore point", when I ran registry cleaner Norton

I just installed Norton 360 on the desktop with Windows Vista Home Premium OS. When I ran the registry cleaner, the error message appeared saying: "Unable to do the system restore point" . I contacted Norton, but they said it's nothing to do with Norton, I need to contact Microsoft. In addition, as suggested in one of your responces, I tried to create manually restore point, but I don't see the system protection tab on my system properties pop-up screen.

I don't know what prompted to run registry cleaner. I would sincerely say that you read the following article first before you take back this terrible task to play with the registry.

  • I want to do a "System Restore" at an earlier date than when I did a "System Restore Point"; How can I realize this "System Restore" to a date that is earlier than the "System Restore Point"?

    I am running a version of Microsoft "Vista." I want to do a "System Restore" to a date earlier than the 'Restore Point System' which is steeped in external memory of my terminal (and apparently in memory of boarding school of the terminal).  The terminal shows only the "System Restore Point" that I had introduced manually; How replace this erroneous 'system Resote Date Point' so that I can get rid of things that I wish were not included in the drive of my terminal?  Specifically, the "Ready Boost" option has ruined my terminal memory drive; That's why I want to get rid of with a "restoration of memory", but there is no other precedents "System Restore" options.

    Hello

    You will be able to perform a system restore to a restore point created or present on the system. If you have no restore point created before the questions, then you will not be able to restore it.

  • The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

    I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

    In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

    And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

    Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

    Hey, Jose,

    I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

    I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

    The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

    "Here are some reasons that XP will remove RPs.

    'http://support.microsoft.com/kb/301224 '.

    • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
    • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
    • No disk compression
    • Did not display the warnings system restore.
    • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
    • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
    • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
    • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
    • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
    • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

    "I don't know that when you install SP3 and it goes well, a single method to uninstall SP3 is to restore the system to the time before SP3 was installed:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950249

    This would mean that you would still RPs after that installation of SP3 (if things were favorably) and that was my observation. »

    • When I started to have problems, I simply started from scratch with a Destructive Restore process.  When I'm really frustrated after several failures, I started looking for a quicker way to get back to a point just before I installed SP3 and found this KB.  After that, it was the safe boot mode and using the Control Panel Add/Remove programs to remove the SP3.  And I got very, very familiar with the process!   Laughing out loud

    "Other things I can think can remove all restore Points are third party maintenance and system cleaning tools, poorly designed or introducing a third part malfunction anti malware tools, etc..".  Malicious software can disable the system restore (temporarily of course), but I never saw remove Restore Points.  The XP disk cleanup will also delete all but the most recent restore Point. »

    • Other Easeus Partition Manager, I never got far enough along to try any other third party software.  My "modus operandi" is updated completely OS and Internet Explorer before I install any other software and update it.  However, with the idea of the recovery Partition, do not not the software isn't an option.

    "If they are all absent, it always seems that a human element involved somewhere."

    • I learned long ago, the days of 8-bit, unless there is a real hardware failure, almost all computer problems can be tracked to a human being.
    • Not all system restore points were missing, just the first I created which is involved by creating a restore point after you change the system, such as the removal of my friend doesn't use software.  For example the software to connect to an ISP with a modem.  They got the DSL.   :-)
    • All deletions of software would help speed up the computer for his own use.  The rest of the family is like me today, Mac users.   :-)

    "To answer your question:

    The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

    • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.

    I'll certainly post the info you suggested in the post on the SP3 forum.

    "Do or do not. There is no test. »

    • "Luke, the force is with you." :-)
  • system restore points when they and how do I remove them

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Behold, it is I reinstalled Vista and now my portion of my hard drive recovery is almost full and he tells me to delete some of my restore points which could clear enough space to take care of the necessary space.  I tried to find files to restore and no luck in that area someone can lend a hand in this area pease.

  • How to restore a significant update to Windows 7 I lost after a restart for an earlier version of the system restore point?

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 on a desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE-350 t. Recently, a malfunction of Windows at startup caused my father reboot the system to a previous system restore point. (He says it was one of several options at startup.) Everything seems to work fine now except that I seem to have lost a critical update Windows downloaded after the restore point, Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.256. Still, there are in my Windows update history and is listed as "installed successfully", but when I check my updates installed, it is absent. Also, when I try to search for updates installed, I get a message indicating that Windows is up-to-date. I can't uninstall the update and re - install because it is missing from my list of installed updates. So I guess that the re-start to a previous system restore point has put this important WIndows update in limbo. How can ensure me that this update is installed correctly and working properly?

    Hello hakimbenzakis,

    Absolutely, because based on that you are running the latest version of the Windows Update Agent and have the last update to it.

  • Is it possible to defragment AND keep the system restore points to lose in Win XP?

    Sometimes my system restore points disappear and I have learned to rely on them.  I heard that defragmentation can erase the system - something to do with the Windows shadow copy service restore points.  Is there a safe way to defragment a hard drive (internal or external) WITHOUT losing any system restore points: both those created manually as well as automatically created? I have a lot of disk space and all criticalWindows updates. No malware. CHKDSK not display any errors.

    Joel-

    I really thank you goes out all the time and difficulties that you have not only to explain my problem but at the arrive at a solution that has worked for you.  I already read the CNET critical user of and download Ultimate Defrag, but have not yet installed it because I have a few questions that may be critical to my getting the same wonderful performance you met.  Not wanting to - by my own ignorance - replace one problem with another, can I ask if you know where I can find these answers? :

    (1) my PC has 1 G of RAM an and a Pentium 4 processor, a desktop Dell 8 years.  Have I not enough resources for the programme of work?

    (2) I have two internal HDs - a bunch of 80 G and 40 G Data - with a 1 t external for backups.  Will I be possible to defragment one at a time so that a period of 8 hours at night will give the app some time to run and complete - especially the first time I use it on every HD?

    (3) a review mentions a setting from the default installation for those who have my knowledge minimum tech. Is it choose a wise move in my case? I only will give non-essential options or options I'd understand even when doing this?

    (4) I need to turn off WinPatrol (Start Menu Manager) and install my Avast AV in addition to all the normal precautions for cleaning?

    (5) should I disconnect from the internet before installing (I have a shortcut on the desktop that allows me to turn off my DSL modem)?

    (6) can the program itself or its installer to run in Mode safe and which is preferred? Of course, I would create a prior restore point I have restart mode without failure.

    (7) a critic says that the 50-page help document is of no use to someone with my limited knowledge. Is there a training video or another type of help?

    If I have already imposed on you enough, perhaps some other experienced users could help answer the above?

    Thanks again!

  • Removed the system restore points

    I tried to install Samsung Kies and Samsung mobile driver, once I did and had problems, then I tried to uninstall, I went to the restoration of the system and realized that all the points that have been created have been deleted. I have a lot of space on my computer and the system restore is enabled. Is there anyway that I can get back them? I ran a virus scan and all is well, but I'm just worried for where my points went.

    Thank you

    They are automatically deleted after they are no longer relevant, or if the space that you book for them runs.  You can drag the slider in your settings to reserve more space for their own good:

    Hi Annanj,

    This can happen when a temporary error occurs, it indicates that one or more authors VSS returned an error. To diagnose the problem, type the following command from an elevated command prompt:

    Vssadmin list writers

    a. Open command prompt by clicking on start prompt by typing in the start search box.

    b. right-click on command prompt and select run as administrator.

    c. type vssadmin list writers and press ENTER.

    This should provide information on what writer returned the error. More details about the error must also be registered by this writer in the event log.

    I have been told if the SIGNATURE of the DISC is not the same as the source drive SYS RESTORE STP is will be eliminated or not accessible.  However, if the SIGNATURE of the DISC is the same as the record source, STARTUP problems occur.

    Hello

    I have a Dell laptop under Windows Vista Premium. I got it for about three years, and he is upset enough ok tonight. In the middle of browsing the internet, check my email, etc., all but one of my browser windows close at random, and a message appears "windows vista Security Center" whenever I try to open a new window, blocking of the site and to say that the site is dangerous and my system has been infiltrated by a Trojan horse. Then he starts the scan and says that I must buy the full to get everything to work again. I closed everything, since I already have McAfee antivirus and internet security, but it does not, and neither did any other progams. I tried restarting in safe mode to restore a backup point, but Windows does not open in safe mode, rather stick for half an hour in the middle of loading. When I managed to start windows in normal mode, I found that all my past restore points had been erased.

  • Windows automatically restarts constantly, cannot access the system restore point, cannot access the computer in safe mode

    Hi all

    For the not 24 hours I tried to access my computer in normal mode. When I turn on the pc, it says "configuration data 1 of 3 steps...". 0% complete"he never spent 0% and within seconds, it automatically restarts and starts again. It's so frustrating! I have a windows vista pc (purchased in ' 06). I can only access my desktop in SafeMode.

    I tried to perform a system restore, but not like he says "recovery disk is not the restore point selected. What should I do? I tried to manually create a restore point, but cannot access the system and Maintenance, while in safe mode. I can't do anything but literally access the internet. How can I get Windows back to factory settings it is with these limited resources? I have a Dell reinstallation DVD.

    I searched my programs and found that recently Windows automatically updated and downloaded "Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer" and "for 2007 Office system Compatibility Pack '. Now, I think it has something to do with it, because they were the most recent updates, before the pc crashed. But I also fear that it may be a virus, which has completely hijacked this PC. How am I supposed to get rid of a bug, if I can't even get the necessary antivirus?

    Sorry for the ranting, but it's so stressful when my pc is completely down. Please, please please help me. Thank you in advance for reading this same!
