System restore won't work
Hi, I am running Vista 32 bit, and I cannot get system restore to run under
Windows, it will run in Safe Mode, and restore points are being made
successfully. I just cannot get System Restore to run under windows,I keep
gertting an error message that states that sytem restore was unsucessful.
After doing some reading on the newsgroups, I have discovered that somehow
the Systems Restore Services has been deleted. Any ideas how to remedy this
problem without having to use my Vista install disk and running a repair
function through it.
Thanks.
Rick

I'm having the same problem but it's another window's bug since it does the
restore. I'm growing to despise Vista rapidly.

Re: System restore won't work
Additionally, I am not running Norton antivirus, but do have Zone Alarm
running. I have tried exiting Zone Alarm and running a restore, but to no
avail.

Why not just run it in safe mode then? Whatever works.

Re: System restore won't work
It does work in Safe Mode, but it is just a pain to reboot the computer to
get it into Safe Mode to do this, especially when it used to work in Windows.
It seems a lot of the problems started popping up when I installed the first
service pack for Vista.
Any help from whoever is reading this would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: System restore won't work
System restore was unsuccessful, try running system restore again.

Re: System restore won't work
Typically, to get help you need to provide details such as the exact error
message. Doesn't get much help if I ask, "Can you fix my car?" Anyway, try
disabling System Restore for all drives (Note: this will erase all previous
restore points.) Reboot, then re-enable System Restore. If you provide the
error code, we might get further.
