I tried to do a restore both in and out of safe mode with Norton Tamper Protection disabled.
It failed in both situations.
This is a problem I have had since i got the computer but that is another story.
I installed the Take Ownership Hack and the problem is solved.
Now about that system restore problem. I have never been able to do a successful system restore in or out of safe mode.
any ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck

I am running Windows 7 and am logged in as an administrator. Sorry I should have mentioned that.
I will give restore a try. The problem is I don't know when this happened.
Last weekend it was fine this weekend I tried to use it and it was as described.
I will try it.
Thanks,

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Unable to access folders in MY Documents Folder

« on: October 29, 2018, 02:16:27 pm »

Up until a couple of days ago, I was able to access My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos folders  in My Documents under Libraries/Documents/
Now I am told "You don't current have permission to access this folder and refers me to the Security Tab in the Properties for each folder.
Since I don't have the knowledge to fool around with these settings, I decided to try running Tweaking.com Windows Repairs Permissions repair.
I did so and it didn't fix it
So here I am.
what do I do next?

I bought a key for Tweaking.com Windows Repair.
Because I could not access the internet on the computer I needed to install it on, I bought it on another computer.
Now I cannot enter the key.
Is it because I am trying to install it on another computer?
Thanks,
Chuck

None of these fixes ever fixed the error I just listed.Only the problem with Explorer not remembering its position which has been fixed
The hard drive has been checked. It is not failing.
I am asking why I can't run Tweaking .com Windows Repair.
That is the only problem I am trying to solve.
I was asked why I wanted to run Tweaking.com windows repair and responded with the error which has NEVER been solved.

FWIW
I just noticed that the title is "windows repair" instead of "windows restore." My bad.
Yes I started  a thread at the Malwarebytes Forum.
We discovered Windows Management Instrumentation is not running and cannot be started.
I am going to start Windows Repair and run WMI repair at their suggestion.

I have a Dell Latitude with Windows XP SP3.
I use it mainly to play audio and video.
Recently VLC and Windows Media player stopped opening.
If I disconnect the power supply and battery and press the
power buttons a few times and reconnect power, both programs
will open but only once. after closing them they will not open till I repeat
the power cycle.
I have tried everything I could find with Google and have run
Tweaking.com windows repair without success.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chuck

Yes it is. And "anti-exploit"  was indeed blocking the web sites.
I set an exception and it is fixed.

OKAY!
Following your instructions I have traced the problem to Malware Bytes.
Tried an exclusion of the Internet Explorer folder in Program Files but it still does it.
I posted a message to Malware Bytes Forum .
Thanks for your patience and your help
