Backup and System restore services not functioning.

[Paullus]

Hi.
I'm running Win 7 SP1 64bit. Backup and system restore are not working. System protection is turned on. I cannot create a manual restore point.
I have tried scannow and chkdsk /f, the VSS services are running but I still get the error message shown in the jpeg attachment.
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you,
Steve

Have you ran any AV or Malware scans?

Hi Indianacarnie.
Thanks for your reply. Believe me I tried everything I could before reading Brink's tutorial on how to do a repair install on my particular setup. (Windows 7 updated later to SP1) It's now working perfectly. I so wish I'd found this forum long ago!
Cheers,
Steve
