system restore

[frantheman7]

Hello all,

Why does my system restore only go back a half an hour?

TIA

Hello Frantheman,

That could be from a number of reasons.

• How old is your installation? It may not have had time to create more yet.
• Did you recently delete your restore points?
• You may not have enough storage space set for restore points on your Windows 7 C: drive.
• Did you check the Show other restore points box to see if there may be any other restore points (older) that may not be listed?

Hope this helps for now,
Shawn

This is showing the box circled in yellow to check for it to show more restore points that Brink referenced.

Hello Brink,

Well I upgraded from XP about 4 months ago, so don't think this is it.
No I didn't delete any restore points, I feel the more the merrier.
Well my C: drive is 1.36 TB and I have 280 GB left.
Yes, but it didn't show any other restore points, but that half an hour.
I was just looking at a post you did about system restore,
and in the screen shot you had the level set at 10%,
and mine was set all the way to the left, I now have it set at 10% as well.
The reason that I tried to restore my system is, when I tried to delete the control panel
from the right click on the my computer, it didn't work, and now I have a control panel
on my right click that only gives me an error LOL, I'm some piece of work .
Anyway this is the error, I hope it post, it's a jpg.

How did you try and delete the Control Panel from it? The more details the better.

Perhaps we may be able to help you undo it manually to get rid of the error.

Bongo gave me this link:
How to remove
to delete this two entries
Map network drives
Disconnect network drives.
It work so good, and being the a*s I an though it would be
a good idea to try and delete all of them the same way lol.
Sh*t like this happens to me all the time, got to stop assuming things.

1)
You can try this first. If it finds errors run it up to three times to fix things. It doesn't always fix all in one run.
It attempts to restore registry.

2)
Worst case scenario. You need your Windows installation disk for this.

You will not loose your files, folders or pictures etc. using this as you would with a reinstall.
This will reinstall the correct registry.

Hi Mike,

Did No. 1) and got this message:
(Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations)
To afread to try step 2).
Think i'm just going to leave it the way it is for now,
but thanks for your help.

Later, Franny

Franny,

If you do not remember what changes you made in the registy to undo them, then it looks like you're left with a repair install to fix it as Mike mentioned above.

Hi Brink,

Man you have been so darn helpful, your a good guy, thanks!
But I think i'm not going to deal with this one anymore.

Again thank you and thank all of you so much.
