  • 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:

    Hope this helps,

  • Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity

    Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.

    After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.

    I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.

    If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.

    Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

  • Reduction of disconnection from the time of Vista Home Premium

    Hello

    Anyone know how to reduce the disconnect time on Vista Home Premium?

    I took nearly 10 minutes for me whenever I disconnected.

    Anyhelp would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Disconnection time is dependent on several factors, the quantity of services that run in the background that must be closed before your computer actually disconnects you. Of if you have active applications that you have not closed before disconnection would certainly consume the time you log out.

    If you want that your computer disconnect sooner than ten minutes, I suggest that you limit them number programs start when you start your computer.
