You can't "system restore" from Windows 7 back to Vista.

Do you mean that you saved an image of Vista on your external hard drive and now want to give up on Windows 7 and return to Vista?

Sorry i did not Explain better
Just wanted to inform That I have Installed Win7 on Vista
& had made Win7 back up & want to restore that System Image
to a back date, cos then the comp was running well

Cos im having wiered issues
like when Im checking my E mail & want to
save a E mail in a folder, it doesnt allow me
to click on the Move To drop down menu
I need to close the browser & then open again to
do that action


Thanks

Have you attempted to do a system restore to an earlier date?

Not restoring an image, but just using the System Restore capability built into Windows 7. Your system should make a system restore point automatically once or twice a week. That's the quickest way to revert to "how things used to be".

Not able to run System restore
this is what happens :-

If you mean from the highlighted part that you did an upgrade and not a clean install, this could be the source of your trouble. A clean install is the preferred way to install Win 7. This will most likely get rid of your problems.

Hi Vader !
Are you trying to system restore through the Accessories > system tools > system restore ?

You may have an alternative try. Download Windows 7 System Recovery Discs .

Burn it in a disk using ImgBurn , boot it, and try a system restore .

Do you get the same error on all available restore points?

Your original post says "my laptop was running slow".

If that is the only reason you are attempting a system restore, I would suggest that you find out why it is running slow. At this point, you have no reason to believe a system restore would help.

What makes you think it is running slow?

When was it last "running fast" and what might have been done to the laptop since that date?

Do you know if you are malware and virus free?

Do you have any other issues or signs of hardware problems?

I have run system restore at least 50 times and had it fail to complete once. I wouldn't get bogged down on why it won't run in your case at this time.

Doesnt show more Restore points only 1

I felt its running bad for few weeks now
