Title: Catastrophic Failure (0x80000ffff) While Creating Restore Point
Post by: taobaba on September 27, 2012, 12:54:51 am

I am getting catastrophic failure message when I am trying to create a restore point. I have checked for disk errors. It did not help. Please somebody help.

Do you have vista?

Take a look at these and see if that helps:

Additions to what the Tomas_Sweden Said above,& Maybe this will help  :smiley:

Check whether you have "malware issues" on your system and scan with the current protection program that you have, if any detected malicious software should be removed immediately!
Then use the utilities in order to remove malware which is found in the first step of Tweaking.com - Windows Repair program.  :artist:

Thanks Tomas and G-hot. I used the fixit program given on the link and it worked. Thanks once again for the prompt assistance.
