Windows XP system restore

My system restore restores not to any of the selected restore point.  How can I solve this problem?

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, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine.
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:
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.

  • Add ons manager crashes after doing a Windows 7 system restore.

    Firefox has been restored from 23 Version to Version 20. Now, none of my Extensions or PlugIns appears and when I click on "Get Add-ons" I just get a "loading" and it crashes. I tried to delete the files extension.ini and extensions.sqlite and restart Firefox, but that has not worked. It seems that the add ons and extensions are there, but just not accessible through add on Manager.

    You would not lose personal data as extensions installed as long as you would not choose to delete personal data wouldn't you uninstall Firefox.

    You should always be careful with the system restore feature because Windows does not show you what files are restored.

    It is highly likely that some .ini. and the .js files in the Firefox profile folder have been returned to older versions.

    Have what kind of problems you had with Firefox 23?

  • Windows Installer, iTunes, Windows Update, system restore not working under Vista

    For the last few weeks, I deal with an inability to install new programs in Vista, and I was unable to open the system or iTunes restore not in Mode without failure.  I can't install the windows updates that were downloaded, nor my laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-CS215J) will close properly.  I tried the system restore and used to let me open for a bit, but now iTunes that no longer works.  Occasionally, when my computer starts, it loads only for blacks and not go any further.  I run Kaspersky Anti-virus and used to run Spybot S & D (which is more open) and can't find anything that will solve this problem.  I can't properly download/install updates http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5a58b56f-60b6-4412-95b9-54d056d6f9f4 and delete the temporary files have not helped.  I don't know if I have a lemon of a computer or what happened, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello CWilson13,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows Vista Forum.

    I would like to ask you a few questions.

    1 > what happen when you try to restore the system to normal mode?

    2 > are you an error when you try to install updates from windows update?

    3 > you get an error during the installation of other programs?

    About the judgment issue please check if you are able to stop the laptop in safe mode correctly. If Yes, then we must verify the issue by performing a clean boot. Clean boot will help us understand if the problem is due to third and put into service or services.

    The steps to do a clean boot is given in this link:

    www.support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796

    You can also download the latest pack of windows install 4.5 and try to install programs.

    The link for windows install 4.5 is:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en

    Regarding the Itunes I suggest to uninstall Itunes and Quick time to the computer and download the latest being and install it after installing windows install 4.5.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know about the results so that I can help you.

    Hello

    In addition to the advice already given, I wanted you have read the following information:

    Cleaning a compromised system
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    As the article says, once a system has been compromised, it is never a good way to know that it is not compromised in the future.  For this reason, a clean install is always best once a system has been infected with malicious software.

  • My family in Windows XP system restore is disabled by group policy. The system cannot me to enalbe this function, despite I have a partition of my hard drive to store all backup

    When I open the System Properties dialog box, System Restore is checked, saying: she is disabled by group policy, and the system you cannot activate this option. I got a partition dedicated to my justo of hard disk to store backups and create Points of restoration with a capacity of 10 GB. How can I solve this problem?

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the Task Manager, the registry, System Restore and command prompt Editor, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

    "NoClose" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    Given that your system has or has had an infection, follow up with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    For the benefit of Microsoft technical support engineers, here are some ideas offered in the past which does NOT help with this issue:

    Safe Mode boot
    Last good known Configuration startup
    A clean boot
    Sfc/scannow in running (or trying to run)

  • (Windows 8) System Restore how can I?

    Guys,

    I was see several issues since windows 8A are released on the no sound, Apps, and other small problems with the operating system and laptop.

    System Restore is a software available in all versions of Windows 8. System Restore automatically creates points of restoration, a memory of the system files and settings on the computer to a point in time. You can also create a restore point. Then, when you use the system restore to restore your computer to a point in time before the beginning of the program, the System Restore returns your computer for files and settings of the restore point. Your personal files and documents are not affected.

    Most of these features worked fine until an installation (Windows), or just randomly stopped working.

     
    As a general rule, when a features quit working all of a sudden the system restore will bring the laptop at a time where the features on the laptop was working.
     
    When you do this step, you must be sure to save any information or downloads you recently installed on a flash drive or any type of removable media.
     
    System Restore is a great feature that HP and other manufactured goods have to give you the possibility of not losing the functionality at any time while having the laptop.
     

    First of all, here is the document that will help guide you in this step.

    While taking these steps, I must warn to re-register you please any information you have recently saved or downloaded.

  • WIndows Vista system restore or/relocation question

    Currently, I'm working on my uncles computer. Its operating system is a 32-bit version of Windows Vista Home Premium. He would like a system restore to this topic, but there is no restore point when I tried. Is there a way to do it or just do a reinstall without the disc because it was preinstalled when he bought and delivered with no disc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Here's how to use the system restore:

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

    ________________________________________________________

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    ____________________________________________________________

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought it (which you should have like you do not have a disc)

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    __________________________________________________________

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

    HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

    Here is my story:

    A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

    I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

    Finally, the hard drive failed.

    Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

    In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

    I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

    After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

    I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

    I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

    Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello

    OPS, sorry on this subject.  If the recovery discs are not recognized not so you act have a problem trying to get the new HDD to be restored.

    Try the procedure below and see what happens.  View your results.

    Cyberlink CD recovery for hard drives. When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.

  • Windows 7 system restore is impedes on the screen "system restore is initializing.

    Thanks for the response back...

    I was excited to your idea to check services and services to load... I didn't know about services of dependant' for the Volume Shadow Copy service and windows backup services... I check them and the services required and dependent services are all started and running...

    There is no error all messages when the system restore runs... it's just not always... (Even running overnight).    When I eventually give up and reboot the pc, I get an error message that the system restore did not complete...

    FYI... my device manager also shows as being very well... and I gave you on a previous message in the event log errors...

    Thank you for all this help and information... even if I have not fixed my problem, I've learned a lot about Windows 7...     :-)

    Bill

    I have a very similar problem with a Windows7 Ultimate x 64 system.

    Services run, my drive is ok, I have a lot of space (> 10 GB), I suffer from any other anomaly/Windows error, but the system restore will not end but freezes on the screen "system restore is initializing. The event log is not shine any light on this because the last event in the newspaper it is that the event log service was stopped, some hang up after the fact and did not get connected.
    Even system restore seems to work, there is a lot of activity of the disk for 5-10 minutes, then the disk activity stops and then the system just rest it seems doing nothing, rather than the SR. I have no problems to paralyze this system there may be something that simple.  Running in Mode safe is without help.
    I ran SFC/scannow in Windows (3 times in fact) but this does not help, either.
