Hi
A while ago I got that fake antivirus virus and managed to remove it,then did a repair
install of XP home and ever since that system restore works but every time I right click
on an application,zip file or Mp3 it adds it to the system volume folder-never did that before,
tried reinstalling system restore using dial-a-fix and  still does the same thing-tried a command
as well to reinstall same thing,the registry must have gotten messed up by that virus and there
may be remnants still there(my antivirus scanners and malwarebytes) show nothing.

Any suggestions? I have system restore turned off and use erunt gui which works fine but just
wondering if you have any ideas?
Thanks
Rod

The system restore is one of the most requests I get to add to the repair program.

The problem is Microsoft has 0 information on what the system restore needs in order to function properly. They dont have a single repair or fix article on it. And I haven't been able to find anything on the net for it.

With that information I cant make a repair. It is very odd that one of the most used things in Windows and they have no info on it.

Thanks
maybe you coud contact the dail-a-fix guy,his program has in the tool setting
to reinstall system restore-the tool only works on XP or lower and it just uses
the inf file I think,anyway maybe look at his site and maybe talk to him?Just
a suggestion

I know I used a microsoft tool once and it did not work(looked for it on my PC)
cant find it
Good Luck

Yeah I know of the inf tool. XP installed a lot of its things it needed by inf files. SO reinstalling things where easier.

Since vista and 7 MS doesn't use those any more for a lot of things so it no longer works. I may still dig into the old xp inf for it, it would at least give me an idea of what reg keys and files it needs and get me on the right track. :wink:

Cool
but why would it not work correctly on my XP system after reinstalling
system restore? Any Idea?
