Restoring Windows Vista Using System Restore

[moonmasterShake]

so this is supposed to restore my pc huh lol son

[ratedcrits]

restart your pc, click alt+f10 rapidly, click system restore points, click factory settings, wait for 1-2 hours. factory settings means it will restore to the poit you FIRST turned on your computer. Just to remind you that this will delete all your programs such as games. This is at your own risk i will nit have any responsibilities if something goes wrong

Hey, i have this problem.. My windows asked me to download some updates and i did. and then it told me to restart my laptop. So when i restarted my laptop.. Instead of giving me an option to log in like usual.. it started configuring the updates and its stuck on 3 of 3 with 0%. i left it like that for hours but it restarts on its own and goes to the same situation. Please help me! whats the solution to this? :(

@mikeyduke10 Mike what's wrong with your computer that you want to do a restore if you don't mind me asking

[mikeyduke10]

@Docextreme1 idk it doesnt let me connect to the internet because it says windows error 10050 so i need to stop that from apearing if i can then i can use internet again lol

[Mw2jonny1]

@Docextreme1 can u just wipe everything so its like the first time u ever had it?

[Docextreme1]

@Mw2jonny1 Hello no not with a system restore you would need a recovery disk and do a full windows install

[Mw2jonny1]

[Docextreme1]

@Mw2jonny1 Your very welcome

[mikeyduke10]

@Docextreme1 i ended up taking it to the computer shop and he just wiped it clean and used a recovery disk (which i had downloaded one of my own from the internet but had lost it before i used it because i didnt want to wipe everything from my computer) + it had windows error 10050 which stopped it from connecting to the internet but its sorted now just nothing on it

@chuck1992con Hello Chuck system restore will not delete your files or programs it will restore your system to a time were your computer was running better. If you want to do a clean install you will need to reinstall all your system programs again you will need your disk that came with your computer...

[Docextreme1]

Hello Major, I not sure why it's asking for permission to change things but if I were you I would make sure your settings as administrator is correct..What OS system are you using?

[MajorHalman]

Whenever I try to change something on my computer it say "windows needs permission to make changes" or something. It won't let me give them permission and I am the administrator. I don't have any other accounts.

[KevinElevenRocks]

So if I my PC worked perfect 3 months ago,I can restore it for 3 months?But if 2 months ago I deleted a file,with system restore restoring 3 months.Will I have that file?(just an example)Thnx a lot and sorry because my question is confusing!

[Docextreme1]

Hello Kevin, you should be able to restore your computer to any good working point. As for the files system restore should not effect any of your file you have on your computer. Example: lets say the Friday that just passed I had downloaded a program and restored my to the to the Saturday before that Friday that program will not be on my computer...Hope this will help.Docextreme

Hello Omgitsbrant why are you trying to restore your system is it not running right?

[omgitsbrant]

I think its running right

[omgitsbrant]

When ever I try this, it says..

The restore point could not be created for the following reason:

Windows cannot create a shadow copy due to internal error in othr system components. For more information view event log (0x81000109)

It didnt give me a set point to reset it, so i put in august 1 2009. It always gives me that.

Help Please

Thanks..

[Docextreme1]
