Element, this is a fix when the system partition is too small. Has nothing to do with this problem here.
System restore not working - "insufficient storage"

Whs, I did that and both times it said it succeeded, but when I went into Sys. Restore, the same restore points are listed - if they are really there. I'm trying a restore point now but it goes on for a long time and I suppose I'll still get that error message.
Element7, I am going to print that off before trying it. It looks rather intimidating! But thank you so much for providing that. I will get my daughter to do that for me - she knows computers better than I do.
Many thanks to both of you!!

There seems to be something wrong with your shadowstorage manager. Try to run this command:
sfc /scannow
Maybe the system file checker can fix it.

Just as I feared, the same error of insufficient storage. Thanks, all - you have been very patient! I will think about reformatting as that should fix it, but I may wait a while. This may also have something to do with my inability to get Win to back up to an external drive with lots of space - it kept saying there wasn't enough room. So I already had Macrium and used that without difficulty.

whs, I'm running that now.

Yeah, system imaging uses the shadowstorage facility. So there is definitely something wrong. Try the command in my last post.

I just ran it - it went to 100% and then closed! There wasn't any result listed.

That is strange. It should have at least said that no problems were found.
I suggest you try this: Repair Install

You know, I had just bookmarked that page because I thought that might be the answer. Many thanks - I think it will need that.

It is better than a complete reinstall.
The SFC can only fix files that it has in the 'mirror' - and those are only the most vital system files. But a repair/install can fix any file that came with the system and is on the installation disc - not files that came with programs that were installed late though. But that is not the problem in your case.
