Hi,
I just tried your advice on my windows 32 bit vista home pc. To no avail !

1/ I created a restoration point (according to the message shown) and a registry backup with the fallback method (due to slow backup answer time)
2/ I ran a repair of the VSS shadow copy and the MS Installer only.

Log-vss.txt provides the following explanation :
VSHADOW.EXE 3.0 - Volume Shadow Copy sample client.
Copyright (C) 2005 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.


(Option: Generate SETVAR script 'C:\Windows\temp\vss-setvar.bat')
(Option: Execute binary/script after shadow creation 'C:\Windows\temp\vss.bat')
(Option: Create shadow copy set)
(Gathering writer metadata...)
(Waiting for the asynchronous operation to finish...)

Error during the last asynchronous operation.
- Returned HRESULT = 0x8000ffff
- Error text: E_UNEXPECTED
- Please re-run VSHADOW.EXE with the /tracing option to get more details

So, I guess who have some good advice  :smiley:

In "Repair VSS" the two services that are needed for VSS (VSS, swprv), are switched off and not switched back on. (Your log confirms that) Being switched off is an extra hurdle for a program that wants to to use VSS. And Windows System Restore (SR) needs VSS & SWPRV too.

Start VSS & SWPRV using the Windows' "Services". (Don't run WR !!!) But try to make a SR point. Perhaps now Windows SR will work.

Perhaps someone else has more suggestions ?

Have you tried any of these yet?

@FTR: Delete the old WR log file, download the file in the attachment, unzip it in the folder where the main WR program is located, and run it with admin rights. Perhaps after that VSS will work on your XP and/or Vista system.

(the file contains a slightly modified version of "Repair VSS")
