XP Home SP3 - system restore, select Restore Point. The calendar is empty, no restoration not points. What can I do?

How can I fix it?

There is probably nothing you can do to restore the previous restore points.  To get things working again, please see the following article:

  • System restore not working not because of an error unspecified "buffer overload. How should I do?

    My computer is working great and I was about to start a new project. I decided to organize my files first. I moved a file, went it was too large and would take too long, so I canceled the action. Somehow it deleted the file without warning. The computer has become slow. Tried three different restore points, no joy. I have a HP DV7 AMD Turion X 2, 64-bit Windows Vista (all important and recommended updates are installed).

    Hello

    What was the location of the original file?
     
    , Note 1: You can check the file into the trash and see if you find the file here.
    Note 2: System Restore will not help recover data loss. You may need a third-party recovery tool that does.
     
    Important: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
     
    Method 1: Because the system restore does not work, you can make the SFC scan and see if that helps:
    SFC scanner. Analysis (sfc) System File Checker will Windows replace corrupted or missing system files on your computer.
     
    Scan sfc enforcement procedure:
    a. click Start, click all programs, click Accessories, right-click command prompt and select run as administrator of .
    b. click on continue or provide administrator credentials if prompted.
    c. in the type in the following command prompt window and press ENTER:

  • I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent. What can I do?

    I have problems when sending emails on Outlook Express (Windows XP Home) told in the Outbox, even if they were sent.  What can I do?

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

    I just got the 'volume' down on my percentage for RPs to 200 MB space and he killed all of them except the last RP.

    Then (although SR was always open) I did a new PR and there were two in the calendar.  Then I did another and there were three...

    Then I closed SR and began again and only the last one (number 3) was still there and the other two had been killed.

    Did you present your cursor percentage of volume, right?  If this isn't the case, you should at least try.

  • Vista home basic System Restore [system takes over 16 hours, and again during initialization

    I have Vista Home Basic and the 17/01/2010, I got a virus called Desktop Defender 2010.  BAD!

    I could buy & download Spyware Doctor and Antivirus. as soon as I activated the Spyware, I lost my internet connection and have not been able to reconnect again! My Dr. said Spyare my Antivirus is NOT enabled: my problem... I can't connect to the internet for updates or to contact PCTools and reactivate them me so I can clean the virus... (FYI my computer husbands did NOT have a virus when I added Dr. Spyware, but his doctor spyware antivirus was down too and I got chatting to PCTools and responsive guy there, no problem) If I could do it online, I believe that my Spyware is going to fix it.

    I followed a lot of instructions step by step to remove Desktop Defender 2010, finally eliminating MOST, I could even remove from Add/REMOVE PROGRAMS, but I'm afraid not, not all. (perhaps even hidden files?)

    So, I see that I also called Virus Elite v5.0, which is a virus. I have to be able to remove this slot add/REMOVE PROGRAMS. I removed it (i Think)... (not sure about hidden files)

    But there is something else... e5t4wrvrt8wl.exe this thing appears now instead where Desktop Defender used to. And I saw in my departure up...c:\users\shelbyyys 8d\appdata\roaming\e5t4wrvrt8wl.exe I don't know how to get out of there.

    also I tried to restore the system once a couple and they have failed, usually in a few minutes... then I started last night a restoration of the system, set at 1/11/2010...and she is still ongoing, 16 hours now what the heck?

    Where should I go, what am I doing here?

    Thank you very much

    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:
