OK, there's nothing after eventclass\, so I right clicked eventclass and exported the file. It's attached. Is that what you needed?

Hi Julian,

It looked promising...see image 9.
Then it says.. internal error.

Or should I have restarted Volume Shadow Copy first?

Hi Julian,

I was just starting to look for the Dutch equivalent for services, but no need for that now. I'll restart whole system and run vssadmin list writers.
Should have some results shortly.

Hi Julian,

This part you need to guide me through:
How do I back up reg
How do I merge
How to open up services and restart com+event system

The vssadmin list writers shows the following (image 7)

The error message reads:
Restore point could not be made.
A component of the Volume Shadow Copy-service encountered an unexpected error. Check the logs for the application for more information (0x80042302).
Try again.

P.S. I suddenly noticed that Image 5 shows the properties for the external hard disk, so I've included new image (6) that shows the internal C drive. Anything that I need to adjust?
Should the current usage state something instead of 0 bytes?

Hello Julian,

Did vssadmin delete shadows /for=c:.   The reponse: no items found for this query (image 1)
Then disabled system restore and subsequently turned it on again (image 3)
Tried making a restore point, but received an error again (image 4)

Do I need to adjust the size of usage for the disc (image 5)
Anything else I can try?

Hello Julian,

I need to do that later tonight when I get back.
Do I need to exercise the vssadmin delete shadows /for=c: first and then turn off and on System Restore?
What do I do after this? Try creating a new restore point?

Hello Julian,

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm including a screen shot and results from the following:
vssadmin list providers
vssadmin list writers
vssadmin list shadows /for=c:
vssadmin list shadowstorage /on=c:

I haven't done the delete one yet, so you can see the results first.
Look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello Samson,

That's correct about the multicard readers. The 2 external hard disks attached have the Bytes/Sector 512.
What should I do next?

Hello Samson, needed to do some digging as my program is in Dutch, but I found what you were referring to.
There are 4  USB related disks/usb storage devices that don't have the bytes/sector value of 512: see attached jpegs. What should I do next?

Hello samson, I've got 2 external harddisks connected that can't be switched off. I'll check your suggestion to see what it says.  Maybe disconnecting the 2 harddisks and then try Vss again? I believe I already tried this, but I'll follow your instructions first. I'll report back soon. Journstyx.

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.

General Computer Support / Unable to create Restore Points

Hello all,

I run Windows 7 (64 bit).
Since about 3 weeks I'm getting Blue Screens Of Death. When trying to restore to a previous point, using the Windows program it gave a pop up referring to a not properly functioning Volume Shadow Storage (error code: 0X8004231F). I looked around the internet and came across Restore Point Creator. I installed the program and the first time I ran it I was able to create restore points. After another BSOD, it started giving messages that 'a program crash that shouldn't happen on a proper working Windows installation did occur' and than it would open my browser. That opened up Tom's page with a message what could be the problem and I should install Windows Repair 3.4.3. I've done so and after installing, ran the program. I followed all the steps, including the step that creates a  Registry backup. By default it runs fallback backup. After adjusting the settings and chosing VSS_7-8-2008_2012_64.exe to have Volume Shadow Storage do the backup it comes back with a message 'failed'. It says 'VSS-7-8, etc' isn't running. Check Log_VSS.txt to view any errors. I looked at the topics on Volume Shadow and came across a lot of different issues. Since I'm not a big computer wizard, I'm not sure waht to do. I'm sure there are logs that I could include in my messages, but I first need to know where to look and find them. I appreciate your help. As the above refers to a log_vss. txt where do I find this? What other logs can I include for you guys to take a look at? The BSOD had several different causes; one of them being MyFilter.sys issues. In short I hope there's some of you out there that can help me get started in solving the problems and guide me through the process.  I look forward to your input. Journstyx
