System Restore will not run on Vista Home Premium

I cannot get system restore to run  on my T61 using Vista Home Premium I get messages like:
"The Restore point could not be created for the following reason: The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried the error may not reoccur". It did.  
I also get "Rescue and Recovery Backup Service stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the applicaion to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available." It did not.
I have also been advised no restore points are available.
The net effect is I cannot use System Restore at all!
Has anyone else had a problem like this with system restore?  Lenovo has been no help.I have had a number of Dell computers and this is my first (and last) Lenovo. When it was quite new and the problem occurred , I contacted them but they just blew me off..

So i assume that your T61 originally came with Vista Home premium installed??? Did you make the Recovery Media disks when you first got your machine??? If not call Lenovo up and obtain those disks, and then use them to reinstall your service partition and your OS.

  • Zire 72s will not sync with Vista Home Premium

    Hi, I tried to sync my Zire 72 with my PC and it wont work ....I am pretty bad with computers, so if anyone could help me (in simple terms please). I have no clue what I'm doing. Thanks  
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    To check to see if your computer is Bluetooth ready, a bluetooth icon will appear in the system tray or you can check for a bluetooth application in your control panel.
    If you are unable to locate any bluetooth functions on your computer, you may want to contact your orignal manufacture of the computer to confirm. If you do not have bluetooth built into the computer you can still get the computer bluetooth enabled. To do this will require the purchase of a Bluetooth dongle. These dongles can be purchased at your local electronics stores (usually) or can be ordered on the web.
    The Bluetooth dongle will connect to your computer via USB and allow bluetooth communication between your handheld and the computer. This will be the only way to sync your Zire to 64 bit Vista. All you need to do is pair your device with the bluetooth dongle then initial the hotsync from your device. You may need to try plugging the dongle into different USB ports if connection issues occur.

  • Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

    Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

    Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
    Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
    Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
    Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
    (I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

  • Just got a new computer running windoews vista home premium.

    Just got a new computer running windows vista home premium. I downloaded itunes with no problems, ran it, no problems. Then turned off my internet connection and computer. Next time I turned on my computer, I could not connect to the internet. There is no problem with the ISP or the computer (all have been checked). If I uninstall itunes, everything is back to normal, internet connection is fine. I have tried a few times to install itunes (which is easy to do), but my computer will not let me access the internet while itunes is installed on the computer. Any ideas as to why this happens and what I can do about it? Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

    Look into the Security control panel for the firewall settings and the list of applications allowed to access the Internet. I think you can tap the Windows key and type "firewall" to be shown the panel immediately.
    I just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium too. The first time I ran iTunes, Windows brought up a Windows Firewall warning asking me if I wanted to allow iTunes through. People tend to blow by these popups but they're very important. Often Windows will not ask again, and you have to go digging to get to the option later. Reinstalling the app won't necessarily help because Windows would think that the app you already blocked is just trying to get through again, so it blocks it again.
    When I view the list of permitted apps for the Windows Firewall, I see many entries with "iTunes" in the name, each probably governing a separate network feature (sharing, purchasing, artwork, track lookup).

  • Live Update 3 will fail on Windows Vista Home Premium

    Hi,
    I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with BIOS 1.0, in a Windows Vista Home Premium system
    I have downloaded Live Update 3 and tried to run it. I get various error messages one after another: "driver not valid", "Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error", etc, and then I have to close down Internet Explorer to be able to get back to a normal situation in the system.
    Can you please let me know how to update the BIOS?
    Thanks.

    Go in BIOS and make sure USB Legacy Support is Enabled(can be named USB KB/Storage Support), re-try to boot from your USB key again.
    If no change:
    Use HP Formatter(http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/32594.asp) to change USB key geometry, format the USB key in FAT32 via HP Tool.
    /* some USB keys are picky, and they need a special conditional to boot from it, Forum Tool is using the existing drive parameters */
    Then re-run Forum Tool, when its done reboot PC and boot again from it.

  • Replacing Motherboard on HP Media Center PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)

    Running OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion Media Center m8226x Desktop PC.  Replacing motherboard ASUS M2N68-LA Motherboard 6150SE HP Narra2-GL8E with an MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) motherboard due to failure.  Both boards have same chipset and form factor.  Can I just replace board without reinstalling windows?  Do I need to install new drivers?  I don't have an install CD or install key, would Microsoft provide a key if needed?  Is there a link I can reference for MB replacement/ install? 
    Thanks for you assistance!

    The OEM license is tied to the original motherboard version, ie M2N68-LA. You lose the OEM "rights" when you changed the board.

  • Still will not run on Vista using Forum suggestions

    I tried the suggestions posted in the support forum but the NI design suite 10 still not running in my computer with Microsoft Vista OS. I remove and re-install the software by following NI engineers removal process sent via email and still not  working. This is the error shown in the display -" NI Design Suite 10.0 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working properly. Window will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."- Junt

    Hi Junt:
    I'm just checking to see if you were able to solve your problem? If you are still experiencing difficulty, some additional information would be helpful.
    What version of Windows Vista are you running (eg. Home Basic)?
    What language is your operating system?
    What is your user name?
    Does the error occur during startup, or sometime afterward?
    If the error occurs during startup, do you get any other errors. For example, any errors about loading plugins? Can you see on the splash screen if Multisim has stopped after while loading a particular plugin?

  • WEP not working in Vista Home Premium with Linksys WRT54GS version 5

    Bought a new computer with Vista and installed the router. Made it so WEP is enabled. When I try to connect with a laptop or my other computer in my home, it will not take the WEP key and says it can't connect. I've reinstalled and redid the network, still won't work. It works if I don't enable WEP, but I need security. Is this problem fixable or do I need to buy a different router? My second computer has the Wireless PCI adapter WMP54G. This adapter worked perfectly in my last computer. Any help?

    Make sure your router has the latest firmware and try using WPA security.  WEP is not that secure any more but something is better then nothing at all.  Make sure your laptop has all the Windiws Updates and the firewall is off.

  • Foxfire will not start. windows 7 home premium

    After downloading and installing FoxFire, and pinning the icon to the taskbar, it will not open when it is selected. I can double-click the icon on the desktop, in the taskbar, or under the start button, all that happens is the spinning circle appears with the mouse pointer for a few seconds, then disappears. The program does not open, nor does it appear in the task manager list of running applications. If it won't open, I can't use it, rendering it useless.

    hello BobLewis, as such a problem can sometimes be caused by malware that is active on the system, i'd recommend to run a scan with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

  • IMac will not run Pro Tools 9 - Some will not run CS5.5 Production Premium and some will?

    So i have 6 imacs in my computer lab at this time - I recently created a new image for all of our lab computers using snow leopard OS, Pro Tools 9.0, and Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium - this image works fine on our MacPro's and Pro Tools has no problems opening or CS5.5, but when I imaged the same image onto the imacs - CS5.5 only works on two of the machines and Pro Tools 9.0 will not open on any imac ( i keep getting the message "Can not find playback device: I thought you didnt need one for Pro Tools 9?) and i cant figure out why.  The imacs that have problems with CS5.5 and Pro Tools are the 20" early 2006 versions, and the imacs that run CS5.5 but not Pro Tools are 20" late 2006 versions.  Are they just too old?  Why would it let me image on the late 2006 version of imac but not the early 2006?  Do i need to create an image on the imac itself and then farm it out to the others?
    Thanks for your comments,
    Kyle

    I know this is a very late answer for you, but it may help others out.
    Try holding down the "N" key on your keyboard while loading the Pro Tools application.
    This will eventually open up a dialog box with a drop down menu for selecting your interface.
    In the case where you're not using an interface (like the lab), within this dialog box, just select Built-in Output and plug in your headphones in the back of the iMac.
    I'm running several rooms with iMacs and PTLE 9.0.6 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and this is the only hiccup I've run into. Hopefully, holding down the "N" key works for you.

  • Restore Files from Backup on Vista Home Premium ; HP Pavilion m8120n

    Hello,
    I backed up files on HP personal media drive M:HP8120 and did a full System Recovery on my HP Pavilion m8120n. Now when I attempt to restore files from a backup made on this computer, the message says there are no backups available on this computer.  I tried advanced restore/Restore files from backup made on another computer or restore files for all users on this computer.  I can see the file in Select the Backup set to restore window.  I select the file and in the next window, select the date to restore from, I get the message “Backup location is not available.”  If I click next, in the select the files and folders to restore window, nothing is listed.  However, I get the opportunity to restore everything in this backup -- add files, add folders, etc. If I click add folders, I don’t see drive M: but I see drive C: and D:. 
    At this point I am at a loss.  Can anyone shed light on my situation?

    Thanks for the info. It appears that your Time-Warner router is serving a public IP address.
    My suggestion is to use the D-Link wireless-router for your local LAN (connect the Time-Warner to the WAN input of the D-Link). If you're concerned about speed issues, you can connect your laptop into the LAN bridge of the D-Link.
    If you're worried about speed, you can do a simple before and after experiment to see if the D-link is degrading your I/O throughput. I've used sites speedtest.net with good success in troubleshooting bandwidth issues.
