Unable to create Restore Points
Journstyx:
No idea how AVG was installed...probably came packaged with another program.
Ran Avast Browser cleanup and got rid of Wondershare Video Converter, Bigiet toolbar button, Contribute toolbar, iSkysoft video converter.
Will try to reinstall Single Click Restore Point in safe mode and see what happens
Journstyx:
help! Im now stuck in safe mode and can't get windows to start properly. please advise!
Journstyx:
OK, I think i'm back. did a restore using tweaking windows repair. It seems the more you fool around the worse it gets. need to get some sleep. hopefully you guys have some more suggestions tomorrow. Thanks sofar!
Boggin:
How did you boot up into Safe Mode in the first place ?
To revert to a normal boot from Safe Mode other than Safe Mode with Command Prompt, from Start type msconfig and press enter, then under the Boot tab uncheck any of the lower boxes under Safe Mode then uncheck the Safe Mode box.
To revert from Safe Mode with Command Prompt, enter shutdown /r
From what Avast found, it sounds like you've picked up a lot of crap along the way - don't you ever look for check boxes that will include unwanted bundled software before hitting the Next or Install button ?
Journstyx:
I went into safe mode through Windows Repair then tried to install Single Click Restore Point (which failed and gave the same error). Will load that screenshot later today. It seems this program messed with the settings. I decided after this to shut down the machine. Restarting it, immediately went into safe mode. I tried several times shutting down completely and restart but the safe mode kept coming up. I then tried 'Last known good configuration' but again to no avail. Eventually I thought of the backup in Windows repair. That worked.
As to the rubbish Avast found: I'm usually careful as to what I download and install and always check for boxes that can be checked/unchecked, but apparently picked up quite a few bits and pieces.
