Yesterday I had a problem of Free Disc Space mysteriously disappearing.
So I bought Windows Repair Pro and ran it in Safe Mode. I ran only 13 of the repair items as recommended by Spybot.
Now I still have my original problem but I cannot work around it as I can no longer create a restore point and therefore cannot do a Disc Cleanup which I have been doing every few days for weeks.
Having bought the Pro edition I selected the 2 options to run after I did the 2nd Repair run.
The Pro Disc Cleanup inclusion promises a lot but I can't actually get it to do anything.
When I emailed Shane he said to do a full repair in safe mode. Sect 5 will not create a restore point so that is not an option.
Finally I gave up and did a restore of the registry back-up but I still cant create a restore point or do a disc cleanup.
I need help please.
Regards

It's best to open your own thread for your problems as the cause is different to the OP's because of his BSODs and different solutions will be required.

It's standard forum practice to open your own thread rather than hijack someone else's to avoid confusion as to the advice given and for who.

Hello Boggin, Samson and all,

Here's the Blue Screen Views file. It's strange that this latest BSOD log is dated August 12th, but I've experienced it various times after this date. Anyway..here's the file:

081215-66050-01.dmp   12-8-2015 17:33:01   PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA   0x00000050   fffff8a1`2833e689   00000000`00000000   fffff880`011ea678   00000000`00000005   ntoskrnl.exe   ntoskrnl.exe+748c0   NT Kernel & System   Microsoft® Windows® Operating System   Microsoft Corporation   6.1.7601.18933 (win7sp1_gdr.150715-0600)   x64   ntoskrnl.exe+748c0               C:\windows\Minidump\081215-66050-01.dmp   4   15   7601   280.440   12-8-2015 17:47:50   

Details:

Not sure how to copy the window below in the overview of Blue Screen View. There's several display options, but how do I copy those and paste them here?

P.S. I also ran a program called Who Crashed. This program also reported August 12th as last BSOD, but it specifically named MPFilter,sys as the culprit module:

Its details:

crash dump file: C:\windows\Minidump\081215-66050-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: mpfilter.sys (0xFFFFF880011EA678)
Bugcheck code: 0x50 (0xFFFFF8A12833E689, 0x0, 0xFFFFF880011EA678, 0x5)
Error: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
file path: C:\windows\system32\drivers\mpfilter.sys
product: Microsoft Malware Protection
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: Microsoft antimalware file system filter driver
Bug check description: This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.
 

I've also found the Regbackup files. Do you want me to include its latest findings in here as well?

Look forward to your input.

Samson:
Attach the most recent log_vss. txt file if VSS is still failing, this will give Shane an idea of what is going on there. He will probably get back to you on the BSOD crashes too.

Journstyx:
Thanks Samson. I've attached the log_vss.txt file. I'll await further feedback. Regards, Journstyx.

I have seen this error from VSS (using Macrium Reflect) on a friend's machine. Here is what Macrium said about it.

"The windows snapshot component VSS will fail if a disk with a non standard sector size is attached to your system, even if this disk is either being backed up or used to store the image files. This can be an internal disk or one connected by USB or eSata."

Run 'System Information' ('All Programs' > 'Accessories' > 'System Tools' > 'System Information').
Expand the Components->Storage->Disks node, and scroll down the list of disks, looking for any that have a Bytes/Sector value not equal to 512.

Instructions above are for XP, but should be similar location in Win 7.
