system restounspecified error
System Restore will not work. I have tried using several different restore
points, and I always get the same thing. It goes through all the steps, even restarting my computer, but then it has a message saying that it did not restore anything because of an "uspecified error". Anyone have any suggetions? Thanks in advance, Mandi

If you are running Norton, disable it before doing a SR.
Also, if you still have probs, try doing SR in Safe Mode. To get to Safe Mode, tap/tap.tap..... F8 at startup it will give to a list of things to do use UP and DOWN arrows to go to Safe Mode Hit Enterfollow prompts do your SR from in there(with norton disabled) -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "mandi79108" wrote: System Restore will not work.

system restounspecified error
I have the same problem. I have an hp compaq 6720 s with windows vista home
premium pre-installed, and i could never do the restoring to a previous point. All the points i select fail. I obtain the answer : the system couldn´t be restored due to an unspecified problem. I go to the solutions and errors report of windows and i see there the error 0x80070005. I have run the restoring system utility as administrator and i have Norton internet security. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

Norton is likely causing your problem.
Replace Norton with the free AVG http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall and Windows Defender. Disabling Norton is not enough. You need to completely uninstall it. If it doesn't solve the problem, get rid of Norton anyway. Norton is known to cause many problems in Vista and they don’t always appear immediately. Download and run the Norton Removal Tool. http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...05033108162039 It's called "360" because Symantec's goal is complete ownership of your computer, and with even less communication about what it's trying to do or ways to configure it than ever before (which would only interfere with its goal.) That, along with Symantec's famous technical support, makes Norton 360 a disaster that I would only install on Granny's computer if she was going to disinherit me. ------- *Report back, please* [When responding to posts, please include the post(s) you are replying to so that others may learn and benefit from the issue] [How to ask a question] http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm http://oakroadsystems.com/genl/unice.htm "clara" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your answer. I am going to quit my norton internet security (
it was a free trial for 60 days and it remains about 10 days), and i will try avg grisoft free edition. Then I will try to do a restoring to a previous point. Regards.
