System Restore not working [JSF]
When I run the system restore and choose a restore point, the system starts
the restore; and then after the reboot, I get the message that the restore did not complete, no changes were made. How can I resolve this? Any help is greatly appreciated |

How can I resolve this? Any help is greatly appreciated Make sure that prior to running system restore that your AV software isn't also running, if you have Norton it's also recommended that you turn off the protection for the Norton product too. I had the same problem & doing this rectified it. HTH, Edna. |

It means the restore data is corrupt so you may as well delete it and create
a new restore point. If you need to restore, you must select an earlier restore point.(Find one that works) "Joseph Ferraro" wrote in message ...

Bad info. Corruption is just one of many reasons for System Restore errors.
Deleting restore points is the last thing that should be done. "Unknown" wrote in message ... It means the restore data is corrupt so you may as well delete it and create a new restore point.

Joseph
What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements? What firewall are you using? Is System Restore monitoring more thane partition / drive. It should only be monitoring your Windows partition. http://bertk.mvps.org/html/srfail.html -- Hope this helps.

If that's the case shut down all virus programs, use Windows firewall only
and retry. "Joseph Ferraro" wrote in message ... None of them restore points work! "Unknown" wrote in message ...

With some AVs (eg Kaspersky) shutting it down still won't allow System
Restore to operate - you have to specifically disable the self defence mechanisim John On Mon, 26 May 2008 10:09:04 -0500, "Unknown" wrote: If that's the case shut down all virus programs, use Windows firewall only and retry.

Which is trash? System Restore or the security software? Why are some
security software providers incapable of providing software that does not interfere with the proper running of the operating system? ~~~~ Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown wrote: Precisely why I do not use any of that trash.

Security software is the trash. Some security software providers are
incapable of providing software that does not interfere with the proper running of the operating system simply because they cannot test their software to the thousands of variations in configurations.

Thanks for clarifying what you meant.
The Microsoft software is fragile and many have difficulty getting to work as it should. Microsoft should have dealt with the removable drive issue long ago. They could also have taken steps to stop security software from interfering. I suspect they have made no changes to System Restore since the early days of XP. ~~~~ Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown wrote: Security software is the trash.

Microsoft software is really not fragile. What makes it difficult getting it
to work properly is all the trash people download thinking they need the trash. Virus programs for example. If you don't click on unknown URL's or all those 'click here' enticements you won't get viruses. I've never gotten one. What do you mean 'removable drive issue'? As far as security software interfering, they have to be extremely careful so as not to be accused of being a monopoly. How can they prevent someone such as NORTON installing their programs on a Microsoft operating system? "Gerry" wrote in message ... Thanks for clarifying what you meant.

Restore points are broken if they are created when a removable drive was
being monitored and it is subsequently removed. They are a monopoly. They totally dominate the market for computer operating system. Do you think they are not in a monopoly situation? I was not suggesting they should stop third party security software being installed. They ought to be able to prevent that software from preventing System Restore from restoring the Registry to an earlier version of the Registry. -- ~~~~ Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown wrote: Microsoft software is really not fragile.

Have you any idea what it would cost them? (Your last sentence).
They cannot help being a monopoly. They're good. You can always go to Apple or Linux. They get in trouble only when they try to protect their software such as what your last sentence suggests.
