restore point

I used the disk clean function and thought I would be saving more space on the drive by checking the compress feature. Now when I boot up, after the Dell window the message shows up on a black screen, like a 'c' prompt screen HTGCM is compressed hit ctrl - alt - del to restart. When I do that...

Since it seems that Win7 can 'forget' a system image backup, is there any software that can directly use the files generated by Win7's system image app? (acronis and others can transform a sys image to their type but any direct use software?) Cause: If you perform a restore point earlier than a...

Do you guys know of a way to save a restore point and locking it that no matter what, it won't delete? I made a restore point and then installed Windows 7 service pack 1. The service pack screwed me so bad with software and hardware I used, I regret that I didn't do an acronis backup! When...

My OS has developed a problem of links internal to email and sometimes other links do not work. IE8 which is part of Win 7 seems to be the problem. I have gone round and round on other forums but noone is able to fix the problem so I am left with re-installing the OS. Before you suggest I...

I have never seen reference to this problem and am completely stymied. I did a system restore 4 days ago. My system is back to the state it was before, but ever since I restored it, I keep getting the "SYSTEM RESTORED on XXXX date" coming up every time I start my computer. Apparently everything...

I've just had an old laptop refurbished and restored to original factory settings since a codec problem meant I could run anything (and couldnt find how to restore factory settings on my alienware myself), I've reinstalled windows 7 on it and wondered what the best way to back it up would be...

When I try to use System Restore with no programs running and after the computer restarts and Windows loads I get the following message:

Not sure what happened but looks like I need to re-register some files but don't know which ones. I can get to the point of pushing the create button and entering the name of the point but once I push it, I get the error. Also, don't have any restore points. Computer is running fine...

Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit in Classic mode. My system specs are listed below my signature. Before installing a program today I went to create a system restore point. In System Properties > System Protection I see that in Protection Settings > Available Drives there are...

It appears that windows 7 had updates happening last night (8-12-2010) since when I woke up, I woke to a log in screen, and that normally means the computer was restarted. I logged in with no issues, but then I noticed that my network cards were red Xed out in the task bar, which is strange...

Windows 7 64bit, homebuilders pack. So I was hit with malware that tried (maybe successfully) to install something malicious on my machine. So as this was happening I killed the internet and rebooted in safe mode. Now I'm sort of new to Windows 7 so maybe I screwed something up. But I wanted...

Hello! I am desperately trying to "train" my Windows 7 64-bit system to replace my aging (and last) XP system. It is giving me fits. I've been in here before describing how I gave up and reinstalled Windows (clean install) rather than "Update" because my SSD is too small to do the update...

I was in the middle of a youtube video and the sound suddenly went out. I've checked/ updated all the bios and drivers to no avail. I did a restore to a point from months ago, but it didn't help either. It'll still play through headphones or speakers plugged into the headphone jacks, but not...

Recently I installed a program called Advanced System Optimizer. Not a spyware issue or anything like that, it is actually a legitimate program. However it decided to optimize -something- in my system which now causes any game window I open to flicker and jump terribly. If I minimize a window...
