VSS SERVICE ERROR when i tried to restore my system

Dear users,

Here is the kind of error that I got when i tried to restore my system:
0x80042302

in the event journal, I found a lot of errors listed for the VSS, as for exemple:

Erreur du service de cliché instantané des volumes : un composant critique requis par le service de cliché instantané des volumes n’est pas inscrit. Cela peut se produire si une erreur s’est produite lors de l’installation de Windows ou d’un fournisseur de cliché instantané.

and the internet link:
Event ID 22 ? VSS Shadow Copy Creation and Storage Space Availability

but I am not more advanced... any ideas how to solve this?

thank you in advance for any help...

Type cmd in the start menu, then right click and select run as administrator, or press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Finally enter vssadmin list writers and vssadmin list shadowstorage - what is the output?

Frostmourne,

I hope you don't mind, but I am having problems with back up also, and ran the commands you asked for. I cannot even set up my back up because I get the same error - not enough space for shadow copy. I don't know if you needed a screen shot or just the data - the writers that failed (timed out) were: 1. System Writer,2. MSSearch Service Writer and 3. WMI Writer. Storage out put as follows (tho I shld have nothing there as I never was able to back anything up):
storage used 9.538 G(0%)
storage allocated 9.976 G(0%)
max storage 10G (0%)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Capt.Jack Sparrow!

Hi Mars1,

Check whether Volume Shadow Copy Service, System Restore Service is started and Set to Automatic

Type Services in Start Menu Search Box, hit Enter. Make sure that the Volume Shadow Copy Service is Running and set on Automatic. If the Status of System Restore Service is not Started, Start it. Also set it on Automatic if it is not. A reboot may be required. Reconfirm again, and now try.

Also i'm attaching a bat file which will re-register all the dll related to VSS

Attachment: VSS.bat

Make sure once to download the Attachment Right Click and Run as Administrator

Hope this helps

I executed your batch, here is the output and errors:

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>cd /d C:\Windows\system32
C:\Windows\system32>Net stop vss

C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
C:\Windows\system32>vssvc /register
C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32 /i swprv.dll

then I have the following error:
- inside "swprv.dll", loaded but DLLRegisterServer failed 0x80070715
- inside "eventclc.dll", loaded but DLLRegisterServer failed 0x80070715
- inside "es.dll", loaded but entry point DLLRegisterServer can not be found - "please check that "es.dll" is a DLL file or OCX valid and retry"
then:

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32 vssui.dll

then error:
- "msxml.dll" load failure - "chek that the binary file is saved at the described access path and then debug for further issues of files .dll binary or independant - specific file is untraceable"
- "vssui.dll" load failure - "chek that the binary file is saved at the described access path and then debug for further issues of files .dll binary or independant - specific file is untraceable"
then

Code:

C:\Windows\system32>regsvr32 msxml3.dll

then error:
- "msxml4.dll" load failure - "chek that the binary file is saved at the described access path and then debug for further issues of files .dll binary or independant - specific file is untraceable"

and then the .bat is finished.

Actually, i am exploring the services to find the french corespondant of your Volume Shadow Copy and System Restore...

Inside services i found the following equivalent name (not sure they are the right), and my modifications:
-DRSVC from Manual to Auomatic
-VSSVC from Mnual to Automatic
I reboot now...

ok... I have rebooted... restart the .bat (same errors as before exept for the services running)... then reboot again... I tried to start system restore, and get again a 0x80042302 error....

I am stucked with this problem....

what should I do now? any other ideas?
