Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / October 2007System restore problems
Having had difficulties with Internet Explorer I have been unable to find a cure for, I thought I would try system restore. I went back to my first restore point and found that the problems I experienced earlier were not happening but it was evident that there would be a lot of work to do to get back to status quo. I then tried a later restore point only to find my earlier troubles with IE were apparent at that date. I decided to try a 'midway' restore point but found that it also had my IE problems. I decided to go back to my first restore point only to find that it was not now available and the earliest that was available does not eliminate my problem. Is there any way I can return to my effective restore point please? John King Did you undo the restore points that you went to before going to a new one? > Having had difficulties with Internet Explorer I have been unable to find a > cure for, I thought I would try system restore.

Have you ever tried to solve the problem directly? What is the problem anyway? If all else fails, a repair installation could do the trick, as described on http://winhlp.com/ . Hans-Georg  SignatureNo mail, please. Thanks for your interest Hans-Georg I'm not sure yet if Vista will enable me to run a repair installation. I have been very busy of late but will try it soon. My problems are indicated in this post I put in a couple of weeks ago. How can I keep my broadband connection permanently connected (when PC turned on). When I call upon Internet Explorer it tells me 'connecting' and after some time I get access, however when I come out of IE it disconnects. If I wish to go back into the internet I have to wait for it to reconnect again. This seems to be relevant to an earlier posting of mine where I have said I am unable to activate a web link from an incoming e mail. Suggestions are much appreciated. If I cannot resolve the problem I will have to re-install Vista with all it's associated hassle! Regards John King >>No, I just moved from one to the other.

John, this sounds like a browser setting. Tools, Internet options, Connections, could you have a look there? You don't want the browser to dial. Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. Thank you for the suggestion Hans-Georg but all my settings appear OK John >>When I call upon Internet Explorer it tells me 'connecting' and after some >>time I get access, however when I come out of IE it disconnects. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Hans-Georg >Thank you for the suggestion Hans-Georg but all my settings appear OK John, do you have any third-party software installed that could have something to do with the Internet connection? Did your Internet access service provider give you a CD, by any chance? Any other third-party software, like security-related stuff? Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. I had Norton 2007 fitted but my last restore removed that. My service provider is Virgin and the broadband comes along with my TV and telephone, therefore no CD. I'm away now Hans Georg for a week and I think that on my return I will re install Vista from scratch. Your efforts have been much appreciated, I wish I could help you with something but it would have to be other than a computer!!!

John, it was just one of those suspicions. Unfortunately there is a whole range of possible causes, difficult to hit the right one quickly. >I'm away now Hans Georg for a week Happy travels. > and I think that on my return I will re install Vista from scratch. Oh well! >Your efforts have been much appreciated, I wish >I could help you with something but it would have to be other than a >computer!!! Thanks anyway! Well, I didn't do much and didn't have any success either. So don't worry. (:-) Hans-Georg SignatureNo mail, please. |
