Where am I going to access the the system restore on my Vista "help and support." It has been easy on XP!
Support under XP system quite simply, I went to 'Help and support' clicked on it, and a new screen open and followed the easy prison. Where am I going to access the the system restore on my Vista "help and support." I just want to go back to a previous restore point. Thank you!!
Hello
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools then system restore should be visible.
Also, a lot of PC brand have a restore option of the system via F8 at startup, and then click "fix." Useful if you cannot start Windows successfully.
Also you can click on start and then just type rstrui.exe and press ENTER.
Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

After having had my pc repaired I can not even access the system restore or my registry. I get a message from that system restore has been disabled by group policy.

Can not access the system restore.
After the removal of a virus, no visible icons on desktop except Mcafee on the toolbar at the bottom. Was able to access the internet by clicking on Mcafee and then update. When you click Start the only visible program is Mcafee. Cannot see the control panel or Windows help/support or anything else. "Run" is not available.
Someone suggested that if I run the system restore, it could solve the problem. But the problem is that I can't access it in the usual way.
Hi Oishi Kuranosuke,

You can not access the system from the BIOS recovery.
F8 boot Options is your hope, but you say that they do not work
You need a Microsoft DVD to do a startup repair, or a restoration of the system, thanks to this Guide.
Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.
Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.
If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.
Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

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!

Following the advice on a Wikipedia page to remove a virus 'active security scan', I accidentally deleted a potion of my registry (software?) Now I can't access any .exe, .lnk, files etc. I get the message "windows cannot open this file", and then me accesses a page with no software suggested to open the file. I tried the system restore, but get the same message when I try to open the system restore program. Any suggestions?

Cannot access the system restore
When you try to use the system restore, it asks which file to open it with, which is something that he has not asked before. After that, he does not use the system restore. In addition, Firefox is the same way and I have to use Internet Explorer. Finally, the control panel behaves as if it does not exist. I don't know if they are related, but they started after my 'sealed' antivirus 'virus' that appeared while Adobe Reader has been updated... I'm completely lost as to what I should do.

First of all, if your anti-virus removed viruses/malware you don't want to use system restore. This is likely to give the malicious software on your computer.
It sounds as if your file associations have been damaged. What makes no sense at all, it is that you are able to open Internet Explorer. Click on the link below. Download the file, save it to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose merge. Confirm your choice to merge.

I'm not able to access the help and support on my xp based computer.
I have Windows XP Home Edition. I deleted some old programs using Add / Remove button in the control settings. Also installed an antivirus program. I noticed that the I help support button is unresponsive and I'm not able to access the system restore. How can I solve this problem?
Hello
1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
2. what happens when you run the system restore?Method 1.
Let us first start the sfc scan and check if there are any file system corruption.
a. to do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right click Guest and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
b. type the following command and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
More information on SFC scan found in this document:
Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747Method 2.
If the problem persists, then create a new user profile and then copy your current users assigning to this profile. For more information, see:
