Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / December 2004Mike/Noel-System Restore Problem
Hi guys, maybe you can help me. System was working fine. Installed Studio 8 SE to interface a Gateway Camcorder. It didn't work so I removed the software using it's Uninstall feature. Post uninstall, my system started acting a little strange. One example is that when playing a game of solitaire, card movement is slow and jerky. Attempted to do a System Restore and although there were a lot of checkpoints listed as available I got the folowing results. 1) The Restoration In Progress screen came up but nothing happened. The progress bar stayed at 0% and there was no hard drive action. 2) I did a Ctrl-Alt-Del to stop the Sys Restore Task and got a Restoration Was Unsuccessful screen saying "cannot be restored to 'date'. No changes have been made to your computer" 3) Attempted another System Restore from a different checkpoint but got the same results. 4) Per an old Mike M post, I checked that the smgr.dll version was correctly listed as 4.90.0.3003 in my Windows\System folder. Can you help me resolve this. Thanks Job says simply, "Merry Christmes to you and yours." Job, Whilst you are waiting on a guru, have you tried a SCANREG /RESTORE from the Run box?? Nice thing about this little effort is that you can go back to where you were if it doesn't help......however, may be all you need.

Update--I deleted Temp Internet Files, Temporary Files, History, Cookies, and Recent Files. Some of the strangeness cleared up, system responding faster, card movement quick and smooth. I tried heirloom's (old and the "home" still let's him out occassionally) SCANREG /RESTORE suggestion but it did not help. I still can't do a System Restore. I get the same results as stated in my original post. Hope you can provide one of your magical cures. > Hi guys, maybe you can help me. > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Job says simply, "Merry Christmes to you and yours." Job, if you have a startup disk reboot your system with it and on the prompt type scanreg/restore like Heirloom suggested and choose the one date with no error. This protocol has saved me alot of times without the restore working. If this method worked, discard all your restore points as they are corrupted and create a new one rightaway. Good luck! keefer > Update--I deleted Temp Internet Files, Temporary Files, > History, Cookies, and Recent Files.

I am able to restore the registry fine, it's System Restore that is giving me problems. Not knowing what else to do looks like I may have to purge all the System Restore checkpoints and start afresh. P.S. You said "choose the date with no error". When I went to scanreg /restore I saw 4 or 5 dates none of which mentioned errors. Should I expect to see indications of errors? > Job, if you have a startup disk reboot your system with it and on the prompt > type scanreg/restore like Heirloom suggested and choose the one date with no [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > > > > > Job says simply, "Merry Christmes to you and yours." Job, rule of thumb says choose the earliest one. If there is an error in anyone of them it will tell you. Thus go with the earliest. Regarding the restore points, like Mike M have mentioned many times, try making a shortcut on your desktop and make a manual restore point. Delete the shortcut on your desktop and try restoring and see if your restore works. If after restoring the shortcut comes back then you are in business. Good luck. > Hi Chris, > Thanks for your input. I am able to restore the registry [quoted text clipped - 83 lines] > > > > > > > > Job says simply, "Merry Christmes to you and yours." |
