Windows 7 does not restore points

• I am running Windows XP. System Restore does not restore points. How can I fix?

  I checked the services window and he said: restore and system started in auto mode. I checked the settings of system restore and it's turned on and monitoring of my hard drives. However no restore points are created. I am also running Spyware Doctor from PCtools. He also tries to create restore points
  When it detects and corrects spyware or infections of male ware. This program tells me to check the system restore is on, because it cannot create restore points when it should.

  What antivirus program you have installed? Products Norton will interfere with system restore. Or your computer may be infected (Spyware Doctor is not particularly good).

  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.

• Windows Explorer does not respond, the applications do not open, System Restore does not work. Help!

  Hello, my computer is having a lot of problems, which started last night. Here are the things that are run:

  -Windows Explorer does not respond
  -Computer cannot disconnect correctly: down/restarts when I close the computer says "disconnect" for hours.
  -Cannot use the system restore and may not even start from Safe Mode command prompt
  -Safe mode does not load
  -No applications work, apart from web browsers, and AVG.
  -Cannot access the drivers, to make anything back.

  I added not all strange programs and I do not think it is malware, but I can't actually run my anti-malware program. My computer is running really hot, what he has always done and I keep it high and the fan not covered (I'm broke, can't afford a fix of the computer, or the new computer).  Please talk is profane. I'm not all that techno.  THANKS FOR ANY HELP!

  The model is:

  So I reinstalled everything, and even though it's a pain, my computer is normal again! Must have been a virus.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Try to restore the system in Safe Mode.

  Shut down your pc (if you can't for some reason any then press and hold in the power switch until the pc shurs)

  Now start pc you and start immediately to press the key F8.

  you will be presented with a new screen where you can choose Safe mode (use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate through the screen)

  Now restore your system.

  * Very often Norton users have problems, perform a system restore, an error of "restoration incomplete... your computer can not be restored"would be seen after trying a restore point. " New versions of Norton have a setting where you can uncheck/disable 'symprotect anti-forgery protection. " ... older versions have "enable protection for my Symantec product." ... Uncheckiing should be temporarily. Unchecking these settings would mean you wouldn't need to go into safe mode to try the restore.

• Windows xp does not boot in any mode

  I still can't find info on windows xp does not start in any mode.  Keep the loop on the screen where it has the Safe Mode, Safe Mode with network, last Configuration know, etc.  Any solution?  I appreciate your time.

  Do you have household XP No Boot Troubleshooting as stated in the post sticky at the top of the forums?

  They were practically useless, I'm happy that they were taking him down.

  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 CD/DVD drive work?

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

  Fill in the blank:

  My system worked well until: _.

  If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Windows Vista does not start upward, with success since the closure complete

  Hello world

  I actually had this problem for a long time, but I'm just now to a point where I'm ready to take a lead in fixing it.

  I can't identify when it started, but Windows Vista does not start upward, with success of a full stop. He gets to the screen where, in general, the green bars will travel across the screen, but the green bars will not come. The screen looks dim and sits there, with the text of the copyright of Microsoft Corporation. So, after not having on the mound, I have to manually shut down the computer by holding down the power button. When I try to start again, told me to go through the Startup Repair tool. If I jump the repair, I just have to meet the same problem - a computer that will not go beyond the screen "green bar".

  So, I do the Startup Repair, and told me what I do for the restoration of the system. Windows starts normally after the restoration.

  Don't forget, this happens from a full stop. To remedy this, I just never completely shut down my computer. I left running and back just at the beginning of the day. The computer may start restart, it just may not start with a full stop.

  Given the start of repair takes, literally, around 4 or 5 hours of full stops complete, accidental or power outages are a nightmare, I am obliged to wait 5 hours to get access to the computer. Fortunately, I have my laptop.

  If someone has encountered this? I saw people talking about the loop of startup repair, but that's not the point, I have. I have yet to see any discussion of my specific problem.

  Thanks in advance!

  http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/c39bd203-f729-47a4-8351-83291e13c8a81033.mspx#EGB

  Make sure that Windows is updated appropriately that there have been several USB updates.

  1 check that the driver letters for them, for a player, if the drive of the default drive letter is changed, what is happening.
  Mine was h: I added a device that took H: and the player stopped. So I put it back to H: and the other
  device to J: and everything worked again. If necessary start - type in the area of research-> disk management find top
  -Right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

  Don't forget to remember the MP3 must be set to the PSG to sync with WMP, and meteorological service of Canada to copy and delete files
  and update the firmware.

  If no joy follow these steps:

  You may need a powered hub. (all the USB ports on your computer are not powered, often only 2)

  Try these:

  Make a Restore Point

  Control Panel - Device Manager - click in the empty area - VIEW - show hidden devices

  Here, your devices are the MP3 player.

  Now look everywhere EXCEPT the USB controllers for your devices (cannot be found) and if you find
  It RIGHT CLICK and UNINSTALL all.

  now go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers in the category, but the category itself.

  APPLY/OK

  RESET

  This refresh battery USB and hopefully it will allow the unit to install. (You may need a powered hub)

  Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need clear specific devices, as appropriate.

• Windows 7 does not start normally.

  Windows 7 does not start normally.  The Startup Repair tool will not fix the problem and restore the system to the restore point further did not help either.  I ran a Windows Memory Diagnostic, and he says that he has no problem.  I started the system in Mode safe, everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to find something that will solve the problem and allow Windows 7 start in Normal Mode.

  In Safe Mode, try setting up Windows for "clean boot".

• Windows 7 does not suddenly recognize DVGW & CDROM drives...

  I have been using Windows 7 for a few months now, and no problems with my dvd writer Windows 7 / CDrom drive.  Both works fine up until yesterday.  When I check the drivers supplied by Device Manager they both now an exclaimation mark yellow as if Windows 7 does not recognize these devices.  I have a Samsung TSST corp CD/DVGW-SH-S182D, which is on the list of compatibility for Win7.  I have tried to download the driver from the manufactor, but still does not solve my problem.

  I wonder if everyone suddenly ran into this problem and you may have a fix.  I know that the pilots, both work with Windows 7 and I know the DVD burner because I used it before that Windows suddenly stopped to recognize the camera... Please help works, thx.
