"NTLDR is compressed" error after system restoring to earlier time point

After performing a system restore via ThinkVantage Restore/Recovery, I now cannot reboot my T61 - error message is "NTLDR is compressed Press Ctrl+Alt Del to restart " ... Suggestions I found online require the recovery CD to allow usuage of the recovery console, but I am having a difficult time locating this disk (and am not sure the T61 even came with it).
If anyone has recommendations, I would be very, very grateful !!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear this, but RnR gives you an opportunity to create recovery discs, this is first and foremost thing to do after getting your system:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70804

Most importantly, it also avoids the pain of purchasing them from lenovo, if you're under warranty then try calling them with your problem, they'll most probably send them to you for free, otherwise you'll need to buy 'em from them.
Hope it helps.

hi Jain,
you may need to check the transfer structures,
right click infosource and 'change', click 'comm.structure'/expand,
click 'transfer', move the 0BASE_UOM from left to right side,
or if you wont use the comm structure anymore, you can right click infosource and 'delete comm structure'
hope this helps.

Republish required after system restore

I am running iWeb 09 (3.0.1).. I did a system restore from my time machine backup, the date I went back to was only about a week old and I had not opened iWeb to make changes to my sites during that week.
After the restore, all my sites in iWeb appear red. I have republished a couple of the small ones and they do properly change blue on republish but I do not want to republish all my sites as add google code to most of them with a server side editor (text wrangler)..
Anyone know a quick way to tell iWeb that the site is up to date without republishing?

This is a bug in iWeb '09 that hasn't been addressed by Apple - yet! It must be a real pain for those publishing to MobileMe as this process is so slow.
I use Web SIte Maestro to optimize and upload. After the first pass, the application can be set to process the changed files only by turning on "smart handling".

After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?

After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
P.S
i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
Thanks

The "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.

Can't update FF after system restore sent it back to previous version

Hello,
I had to do a system restore this week due to a non-FF-related issue. After the System Restore, I can no longer update FF. <b>I would do a clean install BUT I've done a bunch of customizations (UI [The top part of my FF looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/NG1EA8D.jpg , and I really want to keep it looking that way], zooming settings, cookie exceptions, stuff through about:config) that I want to keep.</b> Please advise on how to proceed.
TIMELINE
Sat, Oct 11 - FF version was 31.0
Sun, Oct 12 - updated to v 32.0.3
Wed, Oct 15 - did system restore to last backup point, which was Sat. Oct 11
ATTEMPTS TO UPDATE FF
I go to Help -> About Firefox, it shows me the current version is v.33.0, I click on " Update to v.33.0" -> button turns to "Restart to Update" -> I click on that and nothing happens.
I also stopped getting the little popups saying that a new version of FF is available.
System: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit
Please advise on what I should do; I don't want to lose the settings I've changed. :S
Thanks in advance!

Generally the installer can upgrade to the latest version of Firefox if it detects an older version installed. However, if you are having problems with your current application, it might be safer to uninstall as there might be a damaged file in Firefox application folder that might get carried over if you perform the upgrade. So after uninstalling from the Control Panel > Programs and Features, delete all of the residual files from your Mozilla Firefox folder in the program files:
* C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox (in most cases this one)
* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
After deleting that folder, reinstall Firefox using the installer you downloaded. Your profile is stored in a separate folder as mentioned in my last post, so your customizations should still be saved once Firefox finishes installing. In case something happens you at least have your backups, and can follow the articles posted earlier to restore all of your settings.

How to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

how to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

Hi,
You can reinstall them from Recovery Manager by clicking on Start=> All Programs.
If you have performed a complete HP Recovery using F11 then all the software should be there. If you have performed a minimized recovery then you can install applications from recovery manager...If none of these works then you'll need USB recovery..
Here are the links that will guide you through the process:
Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
Order USB Recovery
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

IMac won't reboot after system restore from Time Machine

I just installed a wacom intuos pro tablet on my imac running snow leopard. The system clock reset to 1st Jan2000 and system prefenerces were no longer accesible. I performed a system restore from my time machine but now can't reboot. The restore completed succesfully (or so the it told me). When i restarted the imac i got the usual 'bing' followed by grey screen and spinning wheel swiftly followed by a light blue screen with the cursor in the top left hand corner.
There is sat for an hour befoe I switched off and tried again......same result.
The installation disc is still in the optical drive.
Any advice please on how to remidy this?
Thanks

I have/had a similiar problem. What I did was reset the SMC and PRAM. You can also do a safe boot. For the PRAM, I had to do three times, and my computer finally booted up. Afterwards I verified my disk and repaired my permissions. So far so good. I guessing that Spotlight needed to re-index the system.

After Effects CS5.5 Error Rendering known clean project even after Reinstall and after System Restore

I've been getting frequent, but not consistent, errors during rendering AE CS5.5 projects with lots of 3D layers and lights. I have gone back to a known clean project to confirm the issue isn't with a particular project. The error is usually an error invoking the advanced 3D render engine. This is sometimes followed by a bad tracked memory id popup. But sometimes the program just hangs up.
My System:
i7 [email protected]
24GB RAM
Windows 7 professional 64 bit SP1
NVidia Geforce GTX 570
I have trashed the preferences, cleaned the cache, turned off rendering multiple frames, deleted Open GL, updated the graphics card drivers and even tried reverting to old graphics card drivers. Window's Memory Diagnostic Tool didn't find any problems. System File Checker Tool didn't find any corrupt files. My system drive is not fragmented. I have reinstalled AE, reinstalled all of CS5.5, and did a system restore to a known working point (both with and without doing the Windows updates that have occurred since the restore point). None of this fixed the problem.
I have tried the script BG Renderer to render in the background. I have consistently gotten the following error running the script, which I'm hoping will be a clue:
"aerender ERROR An existing connection was forcible closed by the remote host.
:Unable to receive at line 314
aerender ERROR: After Effects can not render for aerender. Another instance of aerender, or another script, may be running; or, AE may be waiting for a response from a modal dialog, or for a render to complete. Try running aerender without the - reuse flag to invoke a separate instance of After Effects."
The first two times I tried to render with BG Renderer, the error came right after closing AE. But I still got the same error if I left AE open and just sat and watched.
Any help is appreciated.

Update: I believe I have discovered the problem! It was a bad RAM stick. Windows Memory Diagnostic tool found nothing wrong, and nothing in my system seemed to be effected other than the ability to render complex AE projects with 3D layers. After a complete system restore to a known working point failed to help, I opened up the machine. Finding nothing loose, I methodically tested all the memory sticks to find the culprit. Everything is running smoothly now, albeit on less RAM.

Time Machine won't back up after system restore

I just restored my system after a failure, and now Time Machine won't back up my hard drive. It gets about 40 out of 90 Gigabytes done, and then gives me an error message that just says that there was an error while backing up, and doesn't give any other information. I ran a Verify Disk with Disk Utility, and there is nothing wrong with the backup drive, and there is more than 200 Gigabytes of space left on that drive.
Thank You.

Ok, so here's the thing: I tried backing up again today, and it worked just fine. Before, what would happen is a message would pop saying "an error has occurred during backup" (or something close to that). The point is, the message didn't give any detail.
No, the point is, you seem to have ignored this:

CS3 won't start after system restore, fails to reinstall

I am running CS3 design premium on Windows 8. I've have the computer (Lenovo with Intel i5) for two months, though I used the design suite on my previous computer. I had to run System Restore to fix a problem with Firefox, and after I did none of my Adobe products worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times while following the Adobe Help page "error message at installation" guide. Each time I get the message that Acrobat installed correctly, and everything else "Component install failed." I also wiped everything Adobe off the program list (there were a few CC programs I had trialed, plus Flash Player and some plugins) ran the CC cleaner and still got the same error message. I even tried downloading the program files from Adobe in case there was a problem with my disk and that wasn't it either. I tried enabling FLEXnet and installing under a new user, each to no avail. Examining the log file found no instances of "Return value 3" and "FATAL." The search for "ERROR" found several items that I had either already tried or made no sense.
I ran the system restore again to an earlier point, and now I can't even uninstall anything. The CC cleaner tells me some files could not be cleaned, and I should close my browser and try again, but there are no browsers open. Restarted computer and tried again, same thing. It seems I've tried all the options.
Super frustrated.

ITunes dead after System Restore

I can no longer launch iTunes, and this has nothing to do with spyware.
Sequence of Events:
1) Last Thursday, I purchased a new track from itms (Iggy Pop - Candy - it's good, check it out).
2) Upon trying to play the track, I was presented with the message that the computer was not authorized to play the track. Other songs I tried to play gave the same error. I had been perfectly content using iTunes 4.7. However, in order to play the tracks, I now needed to upgrade to the current version of iTunes. This was, imo, obnoxious, but I capitulated, and downloaded and installed v6.0.1.3. After installation, iTunes worked perfectly fine.
3) Thursday evening I shut the computer down for the evening. I didn't use the system again until Sunday evening. When I powered the machine up, Windows booted to a black screen. Safe mode worked properly, but 'normal'-mode would not light the display (this is a laptop). Not knowing what was wrong yet, I tried using System Restore to return the system to a slightly earlier state. The most recent checkpoint was just before installing the iTunes update, so that's where I restored to.
4) System Restore didn't fix the problem. That's when I discovered the switch on the laptop that senses whether or not the lid is closed was broken, and it was telling Windows the lid was closed, resulting in the darkened screen. (I've removed the switch while I wait for the replacement plastic piece I need, so that's no longer an issue.)
5) System Restore did not have the option to undo the previous System Restore.
6) I then re-installed iTunes 6.0.1.3. Each time I try to launch iTunes, I see the standard MS "Do you want to send the error info to Microsoft?" message box, and iTunes won't start.
To try and repair the problem, I've tried uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime repeatedly. I've tried System Restore, and then a reinstall, several times. I've been a Computer Tech since '94, and routinely remove spyware problems from people's computers in a professional capacity. I am certain my iTunes problem is not malware-related. However, just to cover all bases I went ahead and followed the Apple doc referenced repeatedly in these forums involving MSCONFIG to ensure my iTunes problem wasn't related to some startup issue. I've taken the iTunes folder, with the library.itl and .xml files, and moved it to the desktop prior to reinstalling iTunes. I've uninstalled, and then deleted the Program Files\iTunes and Program Files\iPod directories prior to reinstallation. I've disabled my antivirus during the install.
No matter what I've tried, iTunes will no longer start.
Anybody have any ideas what I can try next to revive iTunes on my PC. I very much don't want to lose my existing playlists, album art, and music files (especially the approx. $130 of purchased music), obviously.
Thanks,
Steve

well done, NoahsMyBro!
hmmmm. some thoughts (speculation warning) on what might have gone wrong with the QT. a system restore "over top" of a fresh itunes install will strip out some installation registry entries from both QT and itunes. (under those circumstances, itunes won't launch, spitting out a "some of the required files ..." error message.)
under those circumstances, i usually recommend uninstall QT and itunes prior to the reinstall. (of course, you had other more pressing things to worry about at the time ...) i've been doing that because the QT component of the itunes installer bundle can be a little more delicate than the itunes component when it comes to installing "over top" of existing program files and folders. i think it's partly to do with the fact that it's the second install in the chained install (more can go wrong with it). so the QT may have been compromised on the reinstall, even though the itunes part of the install went through fine.
you don't tend to get the same QT install problems on a standalone QT install (again, speculation, but it seems plausible) because it's not the second install in a chain.

Itunes won't open after system restore!

Recently I ran into some problems with my computer and did a system restore, ever since I did that itunes would not open and kept saying "itunes has encountered an error, application is shutting down" after I double clicked the icon on my desktop. This was also the case with Windows Media Player and every other application on my PC.
I set my PC away to be re-formatted. It turns out there were 17 viruses on there, it's now working fine except I can't open itunes!!
I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it. It all goes fine until the very last second of installing when I get the "itunes has encountered an error, application is shutting down" message. The shortcut appears on my desktop though and when I double-click it I get the very same error message!
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I've spent £150 on sorting my computer out and this is the final straw! I'm tearing my hair out!!

iFOUND the Solution!!!
Go to Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel and for every program that is Apple - iTunes - Quicktime related RIGHT click on it and choose "Repair" and repair it. May take some time for each program.
Then, I got an error message saying:
"the file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
Here, from the Start Menu, search "Apple Software Update" and update every program it says needs updating. I recently this week updated Quicktime to its latest version, but did so anyway. So I updated Quicktime and iTunes...restarted computer...and it worked.
That's how you do it. iTunes 10.5 works fine now. Hope it does equally well for you.

After system restore, old files taking up too much space on TM drive...

Time Machine just saved my *** this AM, some sort of a system error while I was repairing permissions, I used the System Restore on TM, and when it all came back, my TM drive is too full to continue using.
Is is safe to re-format the drive and start fresh?

This is because TM does a new full backup after a full restore.
Seems a bit weird, but you did replace everything on your disk, even though it was actually all the same stuff.
And yes, erase the TM drive/partition with Disk Utility (do NOT delete via the Finder), and start fresh.
