Can't Delete Old Restore Points
Oct 26, 20091) Why can't I delete old restore points? I have unchecked the boxes next to my C: and D: drives, but nothing happens. I tried using "Clean up..." in the "More Options" tab of Disk Cleanup, and it appears to work, but the old restore points are still there. How can I fix this problem? (I know that there was another thread about this issue and read it. I tried what was said and Tuneup worked. I no longer use Tuneup, however.) I do not want to download a program to get my computer to function properly! I shouldn't have to do so.
2) Why does my computer occasionally freeze when I am using Internet Explorer 8?
When I am browsing on Internet Explorer 8, every once in a great while my computer will freeze. I cannot use the mouse or keyboard at all, and I'm forced to hold in the power button to shut my computer down. This happens most frequently when multiple tabs/browsers are up. It also happens when one window with one tab is up, though. Is there anyone else who has experienced this? Is this fixable?

May 29, 2009A customer has been hit with the "Startup Repair" loop issue. The Startup
Repair cannot repair the problem and shuts dow the computer, no restore
points are available and "Last known good configuration" are useless. The
computer needed to be recovered from the recovery partition.
After recovery and purposely setting several restore points manually I
thought I was finished with all updates and such so I set my final restore
point. I uninstalled an application that was not needed any more and on the
next reboot I got a BSOD. Startup Repair was the option so it ran thru its
paces and gave the message that it could not repair the issue and so I
attempted to do a system restore to the last restore point I created before
this happened. Vista reported again that I had no restore points (I know I
manually create 5 of them). So this time "Last Known Configuration" did
work. I went to chech the restore points and sure enough ther were none.
Why did Vista delete my restore points?
Delete System Restore Points Except Recent
Feb 13, 2009I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that has about 20 System Restore points and I am trying to delete all but the most recent to free up disk space.
When I go to Disk Cleanup and select the option to do so, everything seems to work OK, but when it's finished there is no recovered disk space and the 20 Restore points still appear when I go to System Restore. I have tried starting the computer in Safe Mode and attempting the cleanup, but the same thing happens - the Disk Cleanup routine runs without error, but there is no recovered disk space and the 20 restore points still appear in System Restore.
Since I was getting nowhere with Disk Cleanup, I decided to go to System protection and turn off the system restore on the hard drive, which is supposed to delete all the restore points. I removed the checkmark next to the drive to remove System Restore, got the warning that I was about to remove System Restore and delete all the restore points and told it to go ahead and it finished. The same thing however, no recovered disk space and all the restore points still exist in System Restore. I turned System Restore back on by re-checking the box.

Visat Delete Specific System Restore Points
Jun 8, 2008New pc, Vista Home premium + SP1 reload, close to final set-up. There's a user-labelled System Restore point dated 1st June (which I want to keep) plus a series of daily restore points, system generated (presumably during/after installation of new progs or updates) then a further user-labelled restore point, 6th June (user-labelled, i.e. "SP1 loaded"). QUESTION how to delete the "daily restore points" in-between? Reason - 1st June is a "clean" system with SP1. The latest is a "clean" system with other progs loaded. I don't need the "in-between" ones, keeping them will eventually wipe the original from memory ("fifo" when space becomes critical).

For Brink: Ref The Network Idle Session Time Tutorial
Mar 16, 2009PROBLEM: I have an XP laptop that I'm using as a file/print server, with two Maxtor external USB drives, and an HP color laser printer. I have a home network to which I've connected several computers (a wireless XP laptop and two Vista desktops, one Ethernet and one wireless). When I first booted up all the computers in the morning, my Ethernet-connected Vista desktop could access the HP printer and the Maxtor external drives. Thereafter, at some time later, I couldn't get to the XP laptop, nor the printer, nor the Maxtor drives. When I would click on the mapped network drive, I would get the "The specified network name is no longer available". If I rebooted, all was well -- for a time. I could never figure out a sequence of events that was causing the problem.
UNTIL... I came across this thread and your tutorial Network Idle Session Time to Automatically Disconnect ... OMG!!! THE SOLUTION. Life has been SO good since I set the autodisconnect to 'never'. Disconnect. Geez. I had no idea there was such a thing as Network Idle Session Time.

May 26, 2008Why can't I use system restore to restore back to certain restore points? I was only successful twice with it. When my laptap was new and when I used it after re-formatting my hard drive. On all occassions after those two instances I can never restore back to any restore point. It always says that "unspecified error" line. If Microsoft doesn't know what happend, how could I. Why did they bother putting system restore if it doesn't work all the time anyway. It gives you a false sense of security.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSystem Restore Not Working: Unable To Make A Restore Point
Apr 11, 2008I have a recent problem installing Windows updates on Vista Ultimate as the update process stays on 'creating restore point' forever. I've let it run as long as 7 hours in this state, with no change. It looks like the system is unable to make a restore point sucessfully. I know it has worked in the past, as I'm fairly up-to-date on Windows updates. Reading some other threads, I've tried using Disk Clean-up to remove all by the most recent restore points, and then try to disable/re-enable system restore - this part without success. When I check the system properties for System Restore, the System Restore button is greyed out. I've attached a screenshot of the screen for reference. I've checked the group policies to verify the System Restore is not disabled there.

View 9 Replies View RelatedRestore Program Quits : Virus In Restore File
Jan 18, 2010I am running a hp pavilion dv9730 with vista home prem. 32. I need to restore my system but the restore program quits do to a virus in the restore files. As it is restoring Norton sees the virus and removes it from my system but Norton can not see the virus inside the restore files. Right now my system is fine (virus wise) but I need to restore from an earlier restore point because I deleted some files and now my cd/dvd drive is not recognized. But like I said, I can not restore do to the fact that I have a virus buried inside my restore files. I could care less about the virus in the restore files, my main goal is to get my cd/dvd drive working again so I can install my business software.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSystem Restore, Restore Points
Jun 19, 2009The mystery, at least to me, my PC was running almost 2 years. and it was not until about 3 weeks ago that System Restore began to save Restore Points the size of Approx 3 to 4GB daily. Prior to that the Restore Points were well under 1GB. it would be 3 to 6 days before I noticed the loss of 1GB. So why suddenly would the Restore File grew 1 one day from well under 1GB to between 3 to 4GB? That now is the issue I would like to know the answer to. and perhaps that file being saved with each Restore Point is not needed. I mean it wasn't needed for almost 2 years. so I can't think over night it became important but it sure is eating up HDD space.

Feb 12, 2009I have previously posted regarding the large volume of bits and pieces that
are under my (user) folder on the drive. 89,000 plus. All of this came about
by trying to restore from a backup created from a Windows Vista Ultimate
computer. My new one, at present is Windows Vista Home Premium.
I finally figured how to sort the files by file type (not set up that way as
in XP). When I set about to delete a thousand or so, it never seems to
complete.
Is there a way to speed this operation up? I have now spent 5 hours at it.
