Windows 7 System Restore
Windows Vista System Restore has been a lifesaver on many occasions. I am now a Windows 7 Home Premium x64 user. I installed the upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium x64, what is commonly referred to as an "in-place" install. Everything went smoothly and everything works . . . except system restore. I have 175 GB allocated for restore points and create restore points each time I making changes to my system. In Vista, this worked flawlessly: I never had a failed system restore.
With Windows 7 I repeatedly get "System Restore Failure" with the accompanying message: "An unspecified error occurred during System Restore (0x90071a90)." This happens when I choose different restore points. The system will not restore. However, when I reboot in Safe Mode, System Restore works perfectly. Any ideas why this is happening?
