Unable To Connect And System Restore Not Working
Aug 27, 2009
My prob is with a desktop It goes like this:1. Internet stopped working on system - noticed "search.iMesh" in address bar, with "IE cannot display the internet page" message displayed. Finally found and uninstalled iMesh stuff. 2. Now have Google back in address bar but unable to go online - even via Microsoft default.
I've tried 5 diff. dates with System Restore but no luck. So used flash pen to put ComboFix on and it shows up with "This machine does not have the Microsoft Windows recovery console installed".

I recently downloaded some drivers as I was trying to install a new printer who's software would'nt load. This did'nt solve the problem. I decided to get a printer that I had had before, Brother DCP-110C as I knew this had worked well. I tried to install yesterday (28th July) but could'nt and my PC keeps switching itself off near the end of the installation. I then thought I would use System restore to go back to a happier time when I had the first Brother printer. previous saved point wont let me to restore

I am running a PC clone, Win XP SP3. It is using a wired connection to a router. Yesterday, out of no where, I lost connection to the internet. No browsers, Trillian, nothing that uses the internet works. I tried running a virus scan, malware scan and found nothing. I tried doing a system restore and it seemed to work, for a brief moment I had the internet again. Then, once more, it stopped working.
Right now, the current speculation is that the onboard network connection is dying. What I'm trying to find out, is if that is possible or not. I'm not worried about having to buy a card - they're cheap. I am worried about buying a new card and it not fixing the problem.Are there other things that can cause this to happen that I can/should look into first?

I am unable to acess any of my or XP's restore points. When I went to restore to an earlier date. All appeared to be going as it should. However, when I got to my profile a message window came up that said unable to restore to (chosen date/time) etc. I chose 3 other restore points over the last month, thinking it might be some recent problem, still a no go. Any help would be greatly appreciated? Is there a utility to use to check and see if there is something corrupted?

I'm trying to do a system restore without success. It goes through the motions but after it restarts always say "cannot use restore point, no changes have been made to your system". I'm trying to correct a font setting change that happened without my knowledge.

i was advised to come here for support. i installed NAV2007 and my computer went straight to hell. My computer can no longer print. i cant reinstall my printer it always givers me a printer spooler error. i cant burn any cd's or dvd's anymore. When i run msconfig>services i have lots of services that have been stopped which i did not do myself i have tried to do a system restore and that doesnt work because for whatever reason this install removed all of my restore points except for the date that i install NAV 1-17-07. I downloaded NAV removal tool and removed norton and reinstalled to check for possible viruses

My computer has crashed and I lost everything except for what was created in a backup folder from My Documents. It's an XP OS and I remember creating a restore point sometime over the summer. But now I go to System Restore and it doesn't show any restore points available except for these last few days after the crash (12/2/06). The furthest back it goes is a point on that Friday (12/2) at 6:11:23 PM called "System Checkpoint". But it gives me an error message after rebooting that says it was unable to restore it to that point and no changes have been made. Is there another way to restore my computer or access that earlier restore point?

I did what MVP Bert Kinney told me to do System File Protection should replace it. If it is replaced click on it and test System Restore.It replaced the file OK, but I still get the same error message. I can't even go through MY COMPUTER, System restore TAB. It tells me "Run a DLL as an APP has encountered a problem".

I tried to restore to a previous point, but System Restore keeps giving me the error message "cannot restore" to the point I specified. I tried several restore points, all with the same message. The program went as far as -- collecting information, shutting down windows, user log on window appearing, and then the error messages. Another strange thing, I had several user accounts in my computer. Only in one user accout, when I do Start->All Programs-> Accessories-> System Restore, a full screen of system restore shows up with various restore points showing. All other user accounts, a blanck screen of system appeared (just the title-- system restore and nothing else).The reason I want to restore to a previous point is that after updating Verizon Yahoo 4 days ago, IE 7.0 showed problems in display the "flashes" in my home page, and I cannot print Eudora emails -- internet explorer script error. The strange thing is that this problem does not occur in the user account that shows the correct System Restore screen, it occurs in all other user accounts that showed a blank System Restore screen.

I'm getting a faulting error when trying to run System Restore. I'm sure it being caused by the transfer of all my files to a new C drive. I used Maxtors Maxblast to move the entire contents of my C drive to the new drive.

I get this error when I try to run IE 7: The procedure entry point SHRegGetValueW could not be located in the dynamic link library SHLWAPI.dll. And when I try to do a System Restore, nothing happens. No System Restore window comes up at all. Some background info: a few weeks ago, my laptop suddenly could boot up, not even in safe mode. So I did a Windows XP repair using my XP reinstallation CD. It worked as far as being able to boot up, but I've had these 2 problems since then.

I am running Win XP service pack 2. I want to use system restore to a previous restoration point. The program ran somewhat--collecting information, shutting down windows, restarting, and welcome screen appearing. But when I tried to log on with my user account, it showed an error "cannot restore" to the point where I specified. Itried several earlier points with no success. Even when I tried to restore to the time just before the restoration process, I was not able to so either.

computer would randomly lock up or say no signal on my monitor screen..I bought a new video card thinking that was the problem, it was not. I then had my brother look at it, people told me I had a virus from Limewire or nVidia.com and that I should do a full reformat right away, it would only do a quick one and it still didn't help it and when I tried to do a full one I would get an error that says I should put it in safe mode and disable components or something along those lines.I got a new hard drive, but then I had no mouse or internet. I installed my mother board CD. I restarted it thinking it would say new hardware found. I have reinstalled Windows and reinstalled my mother board CD, I tried my mouse on another PC and it worked fine.

I did system restore, and after my pc restarted, I was waiting for the system restore box that will say "Restoration Completed/Incomplete...", i waited for it for about 30mins or so and got frustrated... I turned OFF my pc manually... and when i restarted back my pc is working but there are problems.
-My system restore will open but it only has a clear white window.. nothing in it but white screen.
-I am not able to use the USERS window under control panel, getting the same thing for it, just a white window.
-My mcafee security program is also not working, getting that same white window.
i am able to see the title bar of the window but nothing else aside from that.
Any suggestions on what I can do?

I am trying to do a system restore to reset my computer to the day I bought it. It does not give me the usual 'F10' option. I can't load windows because an error comes up that says 'floppy diskette seek failure'. I am on my ps3 trying to find answers so i can at least load windows. I am running windows xp on a Dell Dimension system.

Recently added a wireless card and put it on my home network. It ran fine for a couple of weeks, but now it is running painfully slow. Just booting the machine and getting the start menu to come up takes forever. Every application is painfully slow and I am unable to connect to my network.

Welcome to System Restore screen permits 2 options: Create a restore point. I can do that, but it does not appear on the calendar. I have set Windows to set a restore point once a week, Restore my computer to an earlier time. Next screen "Select a restore point" does not display a calendar as it should. It displays a box reading "There are no restore points created for this day. To restore immediately, pick another day and restore point andtry again." But I do not see any previous restore points, no calendar.

My system restore application has recently stopped working within the last month. I have attempted to restart this application as instructed through Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Services & Applications/Services/System Restore Services.I have tried to do a system restore to a previous date in July2009 in safe mode and when the system reboots itself, I get a message saying the system restore has not been done.I have also checked to see if the system restored was disabled, which it was not.If a file that is associated with this application has become somehow corrupted, how can I fix that?

First of all, System Restore never works. Ever. Not a single time in the 2+ years I have had this machine. I have it set to automatically make restore points, but when I try to restore to them it just tells me that it was incomplete and no changes have been made to my system. Then, recently (in the past few days), I've been getting BSOD's with errors of either win32k.sys (0x08E) or NDIS.sys (0x0DI, DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL). Microsoft Crash Analysis has twice told me it was a RAM issue, and twice told me it's a driver issue.

I accidentally deleted my entire "My Music" folder from the "My Documents" folder after moving a bunch of files from it to an external hard drive. It was permanently deleted - did not go to the recycle bin first. System Restore did not bring it back.

The operating System is Windows XP with SP3. The system restore stops working at any point. To run the system restore has to enter the save mode. Do you know what the problem looks like and how to fix the problem?

I am trying to do a system restore and my system runs it all but when all is done I get a message saying that no changes have been made to my system and that the system restore was unsuccessful. The reason I am trying to restore my system is because Photoshop is suddenly unable to save as a jpeg? It doesn't recognise the jpeg format when saving and saves as a Photoshop document. THen it wont recognise the file to open it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program to no avail. Funnily enough photoshop elements has no problem with it.

on recent boot up i was surprised to see a different but familiar desktop =. one that i used before. also the system was acting strangely and very sluggish. i suspected a problem with recent downloads and tried the system restore. there was only one available restore date even though the OS has been running for six months.
i tried this restore point but got message "unable to restore to this date- no changes have been made " i can not find a way to increase the number of automatic restore points.. i then did an error check and defrag and system seems to be OK now but am puzzled with system restore function..
