Ok, i need to restore my laptop to an earlier time since i can experience its slower than before and my internet connection is very much messed up since it keeps disconnecting me automatically i think its because of the programs i installed yesterday and thats why i want to do a system restore but the problem is i can't :cry:

Whenever i open system restore it shows its turned off, i tried turning it on on the drives but it still says its off. i'm attaching the screenshot. please help me, i'm not calling the manufacturer support because i'm worrried about my data. and by the way i do not have a backup boot CD since my laptop is only a month old and well i'm a lazy ass. :(

Try running System Restore from the Win7 DVD or (if you don't have one yet) the System Repair Disc - Create.

You may have corrupted files causing SysRestore to have malfunctioned. Run SFC -SCANNOW Command
repeatedly if necessary to repair System files.

You can also consider copying out your data to restore to Factory Condition using PQService. First make your Recovery disks as a backup, then run the Recovery partition which is a more stable method of recovering to Factory Condition.

Hello:

To turn on System Protection so that Restore Points can be created, you need go to Start -> right-click Computer -> click on Properties -> click on Advanced System Settings on the menu on the left -> click on the System Protection tab -> click on "Configure"-> select the first option, "Restore system settings and previous versions of files."

Unfortunately, because you had System Protection turned off, Restore Points were not created.

For more info. refer to the following:

I strongly recommend that you back up all your data before making any changes.

The screenshot shows System Protection was already turned on.

There may be problems with your System files that are making System Restore malfunction. When this happens System Restore will sometimes run from the Win7 DVD or Repair CD which doesn't fully depend upon System Files.

If not follow the steps to attempt to Repair System files, report back what it finds.

The two screenshots conflict, with the one on the right saying Protection is on for both drives. Yet the one used to Restore says it's turned off.

This can indicate a malfunction so worth trying Restore from disk which doesnt depend upon System Files, then repairing System Files.

You may have messed up your computer running a registry cleaner which are almost all sales scams. None are really recommended by MS and certainly not by anyone here.

You can back up your files and consider running Factory REcovery from Win7 using the link I sent you, after making your Recovery Disks so you have an alternate method.

so i take it as never use a registry cleaner since they're not safe and effective?

Yes. CCleaner has a Registry tab on it which many use safely, but others don't recommend even that.

Are you going to run Factory Recovery? Acer Support: Frequently Asked Questions list for Recovery media and Restoring a system to factory load

The other option is to clean reinstall using a Win7 retail installer for your version, using the Product Key on COA sticker on machine. Read about it here: Reinstalling Windows 7
yes i checked and i already have the factory recovery disks since i created them before but they'll make me lose all my data i think, wont they? well my windows is genuine and yes i can see the sticker too but i didnt get a windows DVD*they dont give those out anymore , right? gone are the days of XP* with my laptop and a new one will cost too much. i do have cccleaner and i guess i'll use only that from now on :)

You'll need to backup your data first before Factory Recovery. Even though you have the disks, run it from Windows using the PQService partition as given in the tutorial, save the disks as a backup method since either can fail.

You can borrow or find a Win7 retail installer, unlock if necessary, or download from the web from Digital Life's official Win7 downloads.
