could you provide more
information? basically, the restore point is supposed to be located on the right side however, not sure how to envision your description of it popping up every 5 minutes. are you saying that the description of the restore point disappears and reappears? -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen "rocasan" wrote in message ...

All Bear did was to make a disconnected *copy* (cf) of the OP's post from this group in Usenet to a forum. PA Bear makes UNSOLICITED moves (redirects) of posts a lot. Because he's a moderator (actually a site admin) for a forum, he thinks he has the same rights in Usenet; however, while moving posts around in his forum is within his purview, here in Usenet that is trollish behavior. As typical of Bear, he either SHOVES someone else's thread into a different group or forum (before the solution is known so it is NOT known if that is the appropriate group/forum and the unsolicited move is based on his personal biases), or he swamps them with a barrage of questions usually across multiple posts (dragging them by the nose) without offering any help up front despite that much of what he requests is not required or reasonable guesses could be inferred to offer help without having to first wade through Bear's maze of prompts. Getting help from Bear is like phoning for tech support and getting stuck having to wade through the voicemail prompts and where you might end up with your discussion somewhere other than where you selected. Here's a prime example of Bear shoving someone to somewhere else. |

System Restore problems
Thank you for your information.
First of all, I went to : Start/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore/Next and I found to Windows: The left window is like a calendar with a highlighted date(s). The right window: SUNDAY,FEBRUARY 14, 2010 First Line: 7:00:01 AM etc. etc 7:02:15 AM etc. etc 7L04:12 AM etc. etc and keep repeating while the computer is on, during the whole day and every day. No deletions. The following day is the same thing. I tried in Safe Mode. I turned off and on the System Restore. The "complete clean install" was done with the advise of Dell on February 6, 2010, using the F12 key and deleting the harddrive partion. On February 7, 2010 I installed the HP Officejet J3680 printer. The Microsoft Windows Live OneCare was installed on February 7, 2010. Last night I uninstalled the printer. And I created 4 "Restore Points" . I am waiting to see if I can get and automatic "System Checkpoint".

6, 2010, using the F12 key and deleting the harddrive partion. Did a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? rocasan wrote: Thank you for your information.

From said referenced post, one can click on OP's profile and find OP's posting history so that one might get some background on OP's earlier problems which might shed some light on OP's current problem. I will add that same posting history will show that I and many other volunteers have spent a considerable amount of time assisting this OP in the past. One will also note that OP made no mention of having done a "complete clean install" in her first post in either thread nor has she yet told us why a "complete clean install" was necessary. -- ~PA Bear, posted via Google Groups |

System Restore problems
The "complete clean reinstall" was help by the Dell specialist, with CD-ROM
#3 (as I received #1, #2 and #3 from Dell). I tried in SAFE MODE with the same results, kept repeating. The printer was installed completely. Last night I uninstalled the printer. Then I checked System Restore and the "every so often messages" did not appear. Last night I created 4 "System Checkpoints". Today I do not have any System Checkpoint. (13:10 P.M.) Thank you once again for your valued help.

I am checking now the System Restore and found: NO "System Checkpoint" at all Restore points are not saved at periodic intervals. SOMETHING has to initiate the generation of a restore point, like you doing a manual save or a program doing it. If the System Restore Service is not running (which would likely mean it was not configured for Automatic startup) then it can't be doing anything, like saving restore data points. If you disabled the System Restore option on a hard drive (they can be configured separately) then no restore data points get saved for that drive. services.msc Is the "System Restore Service" running (started)? Is it configured for Automatic startup? Control Panel - System applet - System Restore tab Is it enabled (monitoring) on whatever drives you want it enabled? Restore points require disk space. How much is free for the OS partition's drive? You can't create files if there is no room for them. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300044 I am getting : 2:54:00 PM Software Distribution Service 3.0 Probably means you left Automatic Updates configured for automatic download and install of updates whenever Microsoft decides they want to push them onto your host. Is a variable state determined by someone else how you want your host managed (i.e., managed by someone else)? Configure Automatic Updates to only *notify* you of updates and then decide if and when to install which ones (select a custom update rather than their express update to see just what they want to push onto your host). |
