Rescue and Recovery will not open

I wanted to back up my system to an external hard drive after finding out that it hasn't been backed up in over 200 days even though when prompted periodically , I select the option to "back up now." However, it seems that neved did back up. When I tried to run Rescue and Recovery (4.21) from Start -  All Programs - ThinkVantage - Rescue and Recovery, nothing happenend. I restarted my computer and this message came up when it rebooted :
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
"Runtime Error!
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrpservice.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I do not recall 100% but I think I got a very similar error message, only worst situation.  I had to replace HDD because the original HDD crashed.  I installed a new HDD and when I went to re-store with the ORGINAL IBM LENOVO RnR + Product CD's, 7 in all, I got something like you got.  I called Lenovo and someone in the service department told me that because my T60 was out of warrantly I needed to buy a new set of CD's !   Interesting hey,  I told him that the Original CD's that came with the T60 had corrupted files and this from day 1.  Anyway, long story short NO WIN XP as of yet.  Good thing there is UBUNTU Linux.  Good luck with issue.

  • Rescue and Recovery will not install on Windows 7 upgrade

    I have a thinkpad SL500 that I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 a week ago.  I have tried to install Thinkvantage Rescue and Recovery but get this error message during the initial install:  "Rescue and Recovery does not support installing from the operating system which upgrade from legacy preload system." 
    I did load Win 7 32 bit from a legacy Vista preload system.  I have been trying to install R&R v4.5.  Is there a workaround to get ThinkVantage R&R on this Windows 7 machine?  Thanks, John 

    Win 7 does come with it's RE environment.  On my pc I can:
    (1) boot into windows 7 (default)
    (2) PF8 boot windows into Safe mode, which will allow me to Launch the Windows recovery environment.  This is
    mostly a Repair environment, but can invoke other items, such as Windows restore.  This is NOT an restore from backup tool , per se.
    (3) PF 11 boot into RNR standalone environment.
    All 3 have Bootable software on my C drive, and entries in the BCD (boot control data). Could you document what your pc/laptop was shipped with from Lenovo.  An original windows vista or windows 7? A shipped Lenovo, with win 7,should have a Z partition and a X partition.  One has the RNR standalone, the other has the Factory install data to reset back to OBE, out of the box experience.
    Did you purchase a WIN 7 DVD upgrade disc from a retailer? Could you also post a screen shot from Disk management that shows the attributes of the D drive.  I am trying to find out if the D drive is Active
    Check under the status line,  HEALTHY(Active,primary partition). Did you try the Diskpart command?. 
    You do not need to worry about SYSPREP.  It is mainly an Administrator tool for deploying system images.
    By the button, do you mean the Thinkvantage blue button?  This just tells the BIOS to boot into the RNR standalone environment.   My original system was a Vista.  Thus I have no experience verifying the X and Z drives.  This info is just from reading other posts.
    ===
    As a side note, Does your win 7 support Bitlocker? Can you view the contents of YOUR D drive?

  • Lenovo rescue and recovery will not run a new backup

    Tried several times to make a new backup using "rescue and recovery" (i've done this regularly over the years) .. But "rescue and recovery" freezes and then shuts the computer down. This has happened at least 4 times so far. 
    x201....3249-CTO....i7....4GB RAM....64-bit OS....Windows 7

    1. What are the current and previous versions of R&R? When it was upgraded?
    2. Did you have the such issue with previous R&R version?
    3. Did you try to uninstall previous version and install the new one? Or reinstall the current version? How current vesrsion is upgraded from the previous one - manually or using System Update?
    4. Was your OS version upgraded from previous one? I mean as an example XP -> W7

  • I have tried everything that has been suggested and even deleted and downloaded Firefox again and it will not open. Any ideas on how to get it to open?

    I have been trying to get Firefox to open up and everytime I double click on the icon nothing happens. I have gone to the task manager and deleted it from the process list and tried again and still will not open. I have even tried deleting the program and downloading it again and it still will not open.

    What was the full wording of the error message? Usually there is also a number or additional information.

  • Boot into Rescue and Recovery but not Windows

    Everytime my pc is powered on or restarted, it boots into Rescue and Recovery, but not Windows.
    What can I do?

    Hi,
    first I would like to explain one thing, so that we are on the same page with the RnR partition.
    Vista and XP are using different RnR partitions and the location of these aprtitions is placed on the HDD is different way, so that it can be used in conjuction with your Operating system.
    So in the time, where you have used the XP and OS, the RnR partition was placed in the partition table on the end/back. DIrectly after you upgraded to the Vista and did not made any changes to the RnR partition, than it is still on the end/back, which is not the corect way. Becase the Vista should use the RnR partition, that should be placed on the begind/start/in the front of all the other partitions.
    So in case there was no change made to the RnR partition, like relocation, or reinstall using the Vista RnR version, then you will not be able to boot into it.
    So here is what I would advice you to do:
    - reinstall, or download and install the Vista version of RnR (the latest version) => this will rewrite the partition table and in case of need it will create the RnR partition.
    - use bmgr32.exe , which is located on your HDD by default to rewrite the partition table. Please start it from command line in follwing way:
    bmgr32.exe /phil
    ==> this will bring you all the command line options and you can use it based on this.
    NOTE:
    Plase note, that once you captured some backups using the XP version of RnR , or a different version of RnR, then it's not possible to restor the backups using a different version.
    Simple: you must use the exact same version of RnR for backup and also for the  restore process.
    Let me know, if you have any more informations to this situation.
    Cheers

  • Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air after Migration Assistant

    I did the Migration Assistant via wireless (from Macbook Pro TO Macbook Air) last night and it did work. However, my Safari and iTunes will not open on my Macbook Air now. The error messages are as follows:
    Safari: "Safari quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
      - I tried reopening the app, restarting, and shutting down the computer. Nothing has worked.
    iTunes: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?"
      - I clicked "Download iTunes" but then another message comes up that all my software is up to date.
    Any help is very appreciated.

  • I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    I have been using Elements 12 without a problem for 9 months.  Now when I try to open the program, I get an error message  "Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 quit unexpectedly" and it will not open at all.  What can I do to open the program?

    Thank you for responding.  Nothing actually worked!  After reading the posts online, I called Apple.  They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades.  The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did!  But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

  • When i try to open Photoshop 7.0 I get a message "the search discs are full" and it will not open. Help?

    When I open Photoshop 7.0 I get the message "the search discs are full"  and it will not open.  Help?

    Is your scratch drive over 1 Terabyte? Photoshop 7 was never programmed for those sizes  and will return that type of error if you recently changed drives,
    Solution is to partition that drive to less than one 1 TB or find a smaller drive.
    And update to 7.0.1 Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 7.0.1 update

  • My macbook is loaded with microsoft work and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    my macbook is loaded with microsoft word for macs and every time I try and open the program I get an error reading and it will not open. This is what it says:
    The application Microsof Word quit eunexpectedly.  Powerpoint and the other applications still respond!

    The joys of Microsoft!
    Maybe the preferences file is corrupted.  You should be able to find the Word preferences file in the folder:
    your user name/Library/Preferences
    Its name is com.microsoft.Word.plist
    I suggest you drag this another folder and try Word again. 
    If that doesn't work then you might find clearing the cache files will fix the problem.  You can do this manually but I never bother. Instead I use a program like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner (shareware) or Onyx (free). These programs do lots of other maintenance jobs so it's worth having at least one of them.

  • "Motion and Compressor Will Not Open Because Of A Problem"?

    Last week I installed FCS 3 on my iMac and everything appeared to work OK.
    However, as my iMac had been cluttered with rubbish for 2 years I erased the Hard Drive and reinstalled OSX 10.6.3 together with all FCS 3.
    I have only used FCP and STP since then but today I discovered that Motion and Compressor "will not open because of a problem".
    Here are the reports where it appears that in both cases the "Dyld Error Message", whatever that is, reports that "Library not loaded etc. etc."
    Incidentally there are mentions of 14 and 18 crashes since last reports. This is ridiculous as I have only just tried to open them 3 or 4 times in the last 5 minutes . . . . and the computer OS and apps are all freshly installed.

  • The iphoto and itunes will not open please help

    on my Mac G5 the iphoto and itunes will not open can anyone help

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Then, hold the Option key down when trying to open iPhoto, does it ask where it's Library is? Or what exactly happens?

    You have a heap of work to do before you can reinstall it. NEVER try to get rid of PSE by putting it in the trash. You must use the uninstaller. By attempting to trash it you just made a big old mess for yourself.
    You will need to download and run this:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
    Then go through your hard drive and manually dig out and trash all the bits you can find. Pay special attention to the library at the top of your hard drive>Application Support>Adobe.
    Once you successfully get that cleaned up, you can try reinstalling.
    You can download PSE 11 here, but you must follow the Very Important Instructions exactly, even when they don't seem to make much sense, or it won't work:
