Recovering Windows Mail System Restore Doesn't Work
Mar 31, 2008
I'm sure this problem is easy to solve. It's just that I can't see it.Because Vista has been causing me so many problems (blue crash screens, system restore doesn't work etc) I must restore to factory settings, wiping the c: disk and starting again. I have backed up all files on an external drive. The problem is that I can't see how to import all my mail accounts and mail history back into Windows Mail which will have been reloaded from new.

System Restore will not restore my HP laptop to ANY point in the past. I get a message which says it encountered an unspecified error (VISTA). Also, I tried to access System Restore in safe mode and can't find it. Can someone tell me what to try? My Device Manager doesn't indicate any problems.

You have bought a PC / Laptop which came with a preinstalled Copy of Windows Vista (OEM Software) and your system won't boot up anymore. trying out options from F8 Boot Menu don't solve the problem. you don't have a recovery CD/DVD. you don't have any backups (or you just can't access them). system restore doesn't work / has been deactivated. you simply want to do a fresh install of Vista.Your system provider / Computer Manufacturer (Acer, HP, Toshiba...) may have set up a hidden partition on your harddisk(s) with a recovery disk of Vista on it. This partition is not visible in Windows Explorer nor in My Computer/Device Manager. The hidden partition's volume label (address) is most commonly X: To access it, please follow these steps*: Press ALT + F10 during your Computer-Logo-Flashscreen at bootup. You are then offered a choice to do a full recovery of Vista from the hidden partiton (in this case X: or access data on a Disc.....

1. A newsgroup show 8 messages unread, but when I click on 'Next unread message' Mail said 'there are no more messages, got to next newsgroup?'. It is the only newsgroup that shows this.
2. A blank screen, something I can't explain, appeared over the screen of Mail. I could not access the Start Button. I did an and picked 'Task Manager', but it never appeared.
3. I could do to get to another application or the desktop, but nothing else. I tried to shut down and but couldn't get to the button. Nothing would work.
This isn't the first time Windows Mail had done strainge things. At present it show no messages but when I first click this newsgroup it show thousands of messages.

I installed the AVG free antispyware software which I thought was a permanent program but after installing it, I noticed that it said it was only a 30 day trial version. So I uninstalled it but the shortcut remained on the desktop and now I cannot delete it. I already have the patch for removing undeletable emails stuck in windows mail, but that obviously doesn't work for anything outside the mail program.

In Outlook Express I could do the following to extract music from an Email but it doesn't work in Windows Mail: Click Tools>Options>Send, Change settings to Plain Text for sending, Click Apply, then OK, then highlight the message and click Forward and the attached music file should appear just below the Subject line where you can then click File/Save Attachment.

I had a power failure today, and was completely pleased with Vista SP1, about to write a favorable review over the previous Ubuntu install that was on this machine until the power went out. Now it's a brick. Restore doesn't work, and I'll have to reinstall everything...why build restore points and backups if they don't work?All I got was chkdsk autorunning and a blank screen... total BS.

My ASUS laptop is nearly a year old & running Vista home premium, but it`s never kept restore points for longer than two or three days.
I recently started the Volulme Shadow copy, which was stopped, & set it to manual; later I tried automatic, but none of that seems to work. Still no restore points kept for longer than three days.
I`m not dual booting with windows XP, & this is the amount of space allocated to restore points:
Used shadow copy storage space: 924.293 MB
Allocated shadow copy storage space: 1.172 GB
Maximum shadow copy storage space: 4.434 GB
I don`t use diskeeper defragmenting tool at all, I use the disk clean up & defragmenter that came with windows vista. I do have Ccleaner, which has a disk cleaner & registry cleaner. I practically don`t use the registry cleaner, & sometimes I use the disk cleaner, but I haven`t used it at all for the last couple of months, & the problem persists. I use as well: Spybot-search & destroy; Ad-aware & my antivirus, which is Mc Afee, does defragment & clean up on a schedule.
I used to have the Norton Antivirus for three months last year, but not anymore, but I realized yesterday that I still haven`t uninstall the Symantec liveUpdate. I don`t have any other Symantec products running on my laptop.

My wife was on the internet and suddenly System Pro popped up and started scanning warning my wife of a virus attack on her computer and wanted her to buy the AV Pgm for $49.95. She just clicked all the exits and got off of the internet and now she is locked out of her computer. We can't get system restore to work, Can't get safe mode to work, She has AVG 8 installed but cannot start it. Tried SFC /scannow but was denied access. Tried putting the Windows XP disk in to do a repair and was unable to get it to start. I think the only thing to do is reformat the HD and start over but her PC ignores the A drive and the dvd drives. I cannot get into it in order to re format it.

I have had Windows Vista 64 for 2 Months now and of that period of time it worked soundly for about 2 Weeks. I am NOT an irresponsible User, I don't just delete Data, I know a little something about computing, I don't visit or download from dubious sites etc.
1) Without any reason software suddently doesn't work.
a) I installed a Antivirussoftware - after 3 Weeks it suddently didn't work any more (Kaspersky) I couldn't reinstall it.
b) I installed a new Antivirussoftware - after 5 days it didn't work anymore.
c) 4 days later I started to get errormessages "Windows Defender doesn't work any more" - "Windows Hostprocess doesn't work anymore"

My OS is Vista Home Premium 64 bit. On a couple of occasions I've tried to action "System Restore". So far I've met with NO success. It seems to go through the motions OK ( if you believe what you see on the moniter) but when the comp restarts I am bluntly informed that restoration has NOT taken place. Doesn't seem a lot of point having a facility like this when it simply will NOT work! Is this some sort of glitch with Vista 64 bit?

I am currently using Vista Home Premium. I had a problem with one of the current updates and had to use system restore. After the restore everything worked fine except that Mc Afee Security would no longer function, with the exception of the Firewall. Mc Afee indicated that the secuerity center was more than 30 days out of date. My system restore was set for less than 24 hours. Is this a normal situation and is there any way to prevent it in the future?

This is a tough one for me to explain but I will try very hard. I guess this started around late summer 09. I turned on my computer and it would run chkdsk over and over again. I let it go over night once and it was still scanning the hard drive over and over. Around Christmas time I reinstalled vista and still it would run chkdsk on every boot. Only this time, it ran once and then vista loaded fine. It would stop responding often and run slow but it was better. I manually turned off chkdsk but it made the computer run worse over time.
It would just not do anything so i would have to hold on the power button and turn it back on. The hard drive light will just stay on and the drive will sound a little different than usual. No clicking or metal on metal noise, just a different type of busy noise until you open something. Also you could use the disk clean up but not the defrag. It will say you should defrag volume so i would click defrag now. It would just show you the spinning blue circle and say analyzing but then say you should degrag volume again. So it won't defrag either. System restore also does not work.........

I just upgraded my system's motherboard, chip, and ram and ran into a big problem. When I booted up for the first time, Vista started to boot up then reset. When I ran recovery, it told me some drivers were corrupted (probably the old hardware) . I ran the motherboard disk and installed the new drivers and to make a long story short, it didn't work. Add that to the fact that I can't find my serial number sticker and I'm screwed. Is there a way to find my serial using the Dos prompt or can windows pull my serial off my hard drive if I reinstall? Please help, the copy of Vista is only 4 months old and I was waiting to put the sticker on when I got the new case + Motherboard setup

The Windows Explorer under Vista Home Premium does not list my new HP Color LaserJet 1600 even though the printer works fine and is an available printer to every other application on my computer, including Internet Explorer. Is this a bug in Vista Home Premium? I can work around this by printing in the Paint program but it would be quicker and more straight forward to be able to print directly from Windows Explorer.

Does anyone know how i can get rid off this boot manager so my laptop loads straight up to the new vista option.

I really miss net medic, which doesn't work on windows vista, I'm lost without it. Net Medic worked on all windows from Win98 through to XP but not vista (sob). Is there any equivalent program that will do the same as net medic and work on windows vista? For those not familiar with net medic it was a data speed monitoring program, it ran in a small window and worked a bit like a speedo in a car and showed live data feed as it was happening.

I recently added some new hardware to my 6 month old computer (2x2 gigs of ram and a 1T hard drive). I had my computer off and unplugged, added the ram and hard drive, then plugged my computer back in. I started my computer and while Vista was loading I all of a sudden got a BSOD saying: Stop: C000021a {fatal system error} The initial session processor system terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0Xc0000001 0X00100490) The system has been shut down After a few more tries of starting it normally, I tried it once with safe mode and it stopped loaded at "crcdisk.sys" and after a bit it would BSOD to the same screen After starting it up again I selected the option to run the comouter with a previous setting that had a succesful boot, and it went to an error saying that the NLS data was missing or corrupt with an error saying "0Xc0000225"
After I went back to the screen where you have the option to start in safe mode or normal mode, and it said at the top that Windows had failed to load and that if it was due to a hardware change to put in the Vista CD and click on fix my computer, so I tried that. After it tried to fix itself it said that it couldnt automatically fix it. I tried doing a system restore to several differnt points which all didnt work because the system restore couldnt find the file "0X80070002" If anyone has a solution to help me I would be very grateful. I was thinking that I could try re-installing vista, but I dont want to lose all of my personal files, so could I just install vista on my other hard drive, look on my original hard drive, and from there move all of my personal files?

I got a virus which I was successfully able to remove from my system but now Windows Media Player doesn't work. Clicking yes just takes me to their website where there isn't a version of WMP for Vista, only for XP. From what I've found there isn't a way to reinstall WMP for Vista. Is there a way to repair this error?

I did a Windows Update for 12 Important and Recommended Updates on 6/1/2009. Ten days later I had to do a System Restore to a date before those updates. What is the status of those 12 updates? Are they still there? Do I have to install them again? If so, how do I do that?

How to disabling windows system restore, I followed the procedure that windows help provides but i can not uncheck the c drive on: computer/(right click) properties/ system protection because there is a message that says "configuration is disabled by group policy". You should know that this is my home computer, is stand alone not connected to any network or domain and I am running as administrator.

Why 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.

My laptop (Advent 8117 running Vista if that helps) has been working fine, then this morning things went pear-shaped. To begin with things worked as usual - Everything seemed to load up as normal, I left the room for maybe 5-10 minutes and when I returned there was a black screen. I waited a while and nothing happened so I restarted. It comes up with 'Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.' From there I can either start normally or run a repair. It doesn't seem to matter what I click here because I get a 'Techguys' support thing come up either way but now nothing on it works. To begin with I ran the Repair Environment, but it couldn't fix it. I also got to try a System Restore but I seem to have no points to restore to. Now I can't get the Techguys page to do anything. So I tried running in Safe Mode but once again I'm faced with the unmoving Techguys page, and the same goes for when I try and load from the Last Know Good Configuration. I desperatly don't want to have to lose everything.
