Major issues after system restore

Okay, so it started when I installed a VPN utility to connect to my company's file servers. After that Windows wouldn't fully boot after restarting (only got to blank screen with mouse). So I did the logical thing and did a system restore. At first I thought
so far so good since I was able to log back on and everything seemed normal. That is until I tried clicking on start and nothing happened. Tried restarting, still the same. Cortana also didn't working. Same with Action Center. Even Modern apps won't load.
Only thing that's working is the desktop itself, desktop & legacy apps, and Settings. Essentially I surmise everything that is Modern/Metro is failing to load properly (or at all). Explorer itself appears to be working fine, although I have to admit that
I don't have much knowledge about system processes for the Modern/Metro side. If there's no way to fix it, I'll probably go ahead and reinstall Windows and start from scratch since it's my secondary system that I haven't been using much anyway. But if anyone
knows of a fix that would save me from having to re-setup everything please let me know. Running build 9926.

Hi,
Under this situation, you can try to use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
command to fix system store componments for test.
If the command works failed, you can check cbs.log (C:\Windows\Logs\CBS)where the problem it is. Then, make system repair with your system.

Quicktime issues after system restore

After system restore we had to reinstall games which required quicktime. after which I reinstalled itunes, but it wouldn't install without completely uninstalling everything for quicktime. reinstalled updated quicktime and itunes, but now games aren't working. Uninstalled games and reinstalled it, but still getting macromedia projector error message. Suggestion is to reinstall quicktime. I feel like I am going in circles. Appreciate any suggestions

still getting macromedia projector error message.
What's the precise text of that error message, squirrel?

A system restore will VERY LIKELY mess up your registration... consider uninstalling and reinstalling

License issue after System Restore

Hello All,
We are facing an issue while doing a system restore on Windows 2003 / MS SQL 2005 / SAP 4.7D EXT 110. We followed the System copy option using SAPInst to do our system restore. When SAPinst prompted for DB import we stopped the SAPINST Tool and started our DB restore using our backup tool. Once the DB restore was successfully done , we restarted SAPINST and tried to continue with the import. However in the POST DB load step it is giving us an error as below;
ERROR
MOS-01012 PROBLEM: 'C:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run/saplicense -R3Setup SID "S782KZCP" TRACE=2' returned with '-2' which is not a defined as a success code.
Creating file C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\R3E47X2\COPY\IMPORT\SYSTEM\ABAP\MSS\NUC\DB\saplicense.log.
Switched to user: sidadm.
Working directory changed to C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\R3E47X2\COPY\IMPORT\SYSTEM\ABAP\MSS\NUC\DB.
See 'C:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run/saplicense -R3Setup SID "6FJD2I4C" TRACE=2' output in 'C:\Program Files\sapinst_instdir\R3E47X2\COPY\IMPORT\SYSTEM\ABAP\MSS\NUC\DB\saplicense.log'.
ERROR
MOS-01012 PROBLEM: 'C:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\run/saplicense -R3Setup SID "6FJD2I4C" TRACE=2' returned with '-2' which is not a defined as a success code.
We upgraded the kernel to the latest version and have implemented the environment variables [ MSSQL_SCHEMA ; MSSQL_DBNAME; DIR_LIBRARY ; SAPLOCALHOST ; DBMS_TYPE etc ] . However that has not helped.
The id that we have used for the installation is not the sidadm id but an administrator id.
The saplicense.log simply reads as below;
'Tue Apr 08 23:27:29 2014
MtxInit: 0 0 0'
When we do a sapilcense -show using the administrator id it gives us the below results;
C:\usr\sap\SP1\SYS\exe\run>saplicense -show
*** SAPLICENSE (Release 640) ERROR ***
    ERROR:   Connect to database failed
    DETAILS: DbSlConnect failed with return code 99
SQL-ERROR 0 (check DB manual for explanation)
So we logged in a separate session using sidadm and ran the same saplicense command. However we got the exact same output as above.
Then we ran a R3trans -d using the sidadm id and we got the below output;
This is R3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 17.09.12 - 20:12:05 ).

Request you to kindly advise on how to resolve this issue. Is there an authentication mechanism ( similar to OPS$ in Oracle ) which is causing this issue in MSSQL.
Thanking you in advance,

Surajit

Hello Deepak and Matt,
Firstly Thank you for taking an interest in my issue.
@ Deepak - The SAP kernel is already at the highest level available i.e 640 Patch 414. I have also sseparately upgraded the dbsl , R3trans and tp executables.
Gentlemen , I am unable to find any option as ' SAP tools for MS SQL ' in SMP. Also the SAPINST that I am using does not have an option ' database copy completion'.
Please Note this SAPINST was downloaded from the Archive section of SMP as 640 Inst master is no longer generally available.
My system is ABAP only and Non Unicode.
Request your guidance on how to execute / download this particular tool or option for my system release.
Thanking you in advance,
Surajit.

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

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.

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.

Audit Issue in QA after system restore and client copy

Hi Experts,
We have an audit issue and need your advise on that.
Our QA system was audited and auditors were looking for the approval tickets on which a user was created. I found that several users that were not created in QA and do not even exist in QA have their change logs in QA showing that user was created.
I researched it and found the steps that Basis and DBA's do when creating a new QA client.
1. Basis export user master and authorizations using SAP_USER profile from the target QA environment.
2. Then DBA's restore the QA Environment from the Production Backup.
3. Basis import back the preserved User master and roles using SAP_USER profile.
But when reading about this profile, I came to understand that change documents ( USH* ) tables are not exported and imported back. So that is why we have change logs in our QA from Production system.
So my question is how to solve this issue, where Auditors look at the change documents in QA and ask for the documentation though in reality these change documents are coming from Production. Should we ask for DBA team to truncate USH tables or is there a client copy profile that saves the change logs that we can export and import back.

Hi,
as you know the USH* tables belong to delivery class L. The tables in this class are never copied during client copy but you don't do client copy. Idea of deleting records from L tables after backup restore does not sound good because you will loose all data. As a workaround you could backup content of tables with delivery class L, export users SAP_USER, restore production backup, import users and import backup for tables with delivery class L. There is around 5000 L tables in ECC. Another approach could be to restore production on different box and do proper client copy to QA system.
Cheers

Re-installing Captivate 6 Trial After System Restore

Hello All,
I installed the Captivate 6 trial (over Captivate 5.5) last Friday with 0 problems. This weekend I had major issues with my video card driver after changing my resolution and scaling in the Catalyst Control Center. After the system restore - which set back to last wednesday - , I was able to update everything else that needed it. When I tried to re-install the Captivate 6 trial, I was able to get all the way to the Initializing Installation window. The green bar filled up (towards the end it got really slow) and once it was filled up, the window disappeared and nothing else happened after that. I tried deleting the files I had and re-downloading. I made sure my flashplayer was updated (it wasn't) and tried it again. Same issue. I restarted my computer a few times. That didn't help. It gets to that same place each time and won't go any further. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
I spent almost the entire day in chat/on the phone with an Adobe Tech who literally could not help me. I thought maybe I'd find a Captivate 6 file sitting in my registry, but I haven't seen it (I checked the Adobe folders). It's not installed, so I can't go and uninstall it, I looked in the Control Panel for it. I'm kind of stumped. I'm assuming that a critical file either got corrupted during the restore OR a critical file went missing during the restore, but I'm not tech savvy enough to know what to look for or where I should be looking for it.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Obsidiangel1982

Hi,

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.

Metro fails completely after system restore - can no longer access either Metro or Metro Apps

Following a system restore, Metro no longer works - The windows button on the keyboard does nothing and clicking the start icon doesn't do anything either. Attempting to start Metro Apps results in failure - they cannot display on the screen and I see the
outline flash up briefly, then the app crashes. All non-metro programs work fine and aside from Metro, there are no problems.
How can I re-install Metro or solve the issue? This seems a pretty major failure in the preview - If Metro fails it causes major disruption - kind of like it used to be when explorer.exe failed. No menus, no access to system functions - updates etc.
Any suggestions? How can I re-install ( or fix ) Metro without having to scrap the entire OS and rebuild from scratch?
I thought the store beta not working was a major problem, but it's nothing compared to this.
Rolling back the system restore, or choosing another restore point does not correct the problem -
Thanks
David

Start and Start apps don't work after System Restore

Hey guys, I tried to install Andy (Android emulator) on my PC today and I had to reboot after the setup was complete. This time when booting up, my computer froze before login screen. I've restarted the computer several times, but no login screen.
So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old) and voila, everything works like it should...
Except for Start menu, Cortana & search bar and notifications. Restarting explorer.exe didn't fix the problem. Even Start menu apps like Music or Store don't work... Only way to open the Settings app is to click on my network connection icon. Help please!
I'm using build 9926

..............So I used System Restore to restore my system (refresh point is 2 days old)...............
It is possible that you are missing the updates that were installed in that 2 days. You rolled back 2 days, now you need to reinstall those updates.
If you cannot use Start Menu, please follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes or Confirm
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.

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.

Help with Photoshop Elements 10 after system restore

Hi I need some help and guidance. I have successfully installed my Photoshop Elements 10 twice now; once on my own; and following a MS Vista System Restore; with the help of Adobe support . I then worked on it for a day and all was well.
But unbeknown to me at the time, I had a MS System corruption that was causing Boot issues resulting in a forced Restore of my system and both Restores caused the Photoshop elements desk-top shortcut to disappear and a subsequent PSE10 re-install to fail with the dreaded Data7 , and "Application Shared Technologies" and rollback of Orgainizer and Editor etc etc.
I now realise that the two events were connected and the Adobe Support Person helped me get PSE10 up and running but it involved a lot of file permission changes etc, which lost me in the process, which was done remotely. PS Great customer support!!
After sorting out my MS Vista problem due to "Corrupt System" files, I now need to get my PSE10 up and running again; but how?
Regards John

Have you tried uninstalling and installing again?
thanks.
