Unable to create Restore Points
Boggin:
Well now you know how to get into and out of Safe Mode using msconfig.
Sometimes programs that you download don't mention anything about bundled software and you end up with it anyway, but that Avast tool is a recent addition to my armoury and it found something on one of my laptops that AdwCleaner missed.
Journstyx:
Thanks for the suggestion. It's indeed a great additional program to add to the 'toolbox'.
As we're in between this and solving the restore point issue, let me ask you if the following programs make sense/are useful as well:
ccleaner
Microsoft fix it
Microsoft Toolkit
Boggin:
I use CCleaner at the end of each session to clear the temp file cache and sometimes to check my Startup programs, but that's about as far as it goes for me.
I use IObit Uninstaller so there is no need for me to use the registry cleaner to clean out any program residue and while CCleaner is an intelligent cleaner, it's generally best left alone.
Here are some tips to using CCleaner - http://www.howtogeek.com/113382/how-to-use-ccleaner-like-a-pro-9-tips-tricks/
I don't really have a need for MS Toolkit but quite often look for a MS Fixit for a given problem, but they don't always work.
Journstyx:
Thanks for the information. I hope Julian can give some more input/thoughts about the restore point issue. You'd think that if it states there's not enough space, you would be able to increase that and solve it. But then again it's never that simple, is it ?
Boggin:
This is quite a long thread to go back through but I was wondering if Julian has suggested using Extended Disk Cleanup to remove the Volume Shadow Copies or if he has a command that will do that and then perhaps a defrag - but don't go running anything else for this unless he advises it.
