Catastrophic Failure (Ox80000FFFF) interfering with System Restore (SOLVED)

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
I've just edited my last post - have a look at that, but I've also come across this article and while lengthy, has a couple of fixes for some.

EDIT - I'm going to have to shove off now as it's 12.30am here in the UK and I have to be up earlyish in the morning.

Which version of Vista are you using and do you have any SP2 bootable install disks ?

InnesMiller:
I've ran scannow, chkdsk, and there's no problems. As far as versions, 2- Vista pros and 1- Vista home basic. All 3 are 32 bit. I don't have SP2 bootable disks. Should I go ahead and do that?

InnesMiller:
Thanks a ton, Boggin. I found a fix! I used software I found here (see post #26, from JohnC_21) - http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/565569/catastrophic-failure-0x8000ffff-when-trying-to-create-restore-point/page-2

that led to here- http://kb.macrium.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50010.aspx to re-register the VSS components. See "VSSfix" software for both 32 and 64 bit, at the bottom of the page. 

Boggin:
Good find :)

You may need to wait until this month's Windows Updates to see if they are still working - and get rid of that tune up program :D

@InnesMiller:
- Did you run "Repair Volume Shadow Copy" ? I am surprised to see that that repair didn't fix your problem. Becasue it contains the same code as that Macrium fix.
