Not Repairing
« on: August 14, 2014, 10:33:54 am »
Hello:

New to your product and not super tech savvy.  Using Windows Vista Home Premium version 6.0.6002     Have 2 problems.  Followed all your instructions.  Tried to back up and got fail message.  See attach.  Skipped and then attempted to repair and it ran all night and nothing happened.  I attached what I saw.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

You will need to say what your two problems are for Shane to help you.

As for the failed restore, I'm assuming System Protection is the same in Vista as it is Win 7 - can you go into System Protection and check that it's turned on for C: and in Configure that the slider is not set to 0MB - normally default 3 - 5%.

Have you tried to manually create a restore point ?

Very odd! The fact that the logs shows the repairs started but they didnt move forward. I can tell that by looking at the repairs started in the log and it shows it was running for 2 min and the log hasnt changed.

Also for the registry backup error we need to look at the back log to see exactly what failed.

Do the repairs fail to run each time you try? If so I would like to connect to you with teamviewer (I will have you email me) and I want to take a look at it myself because this would be the first time I have ever seen the repairs not start. So I want to find out why :-)

Did you disable your AV program for the duration and have you managed to create a manual restore point ?

Ok I logged into another user who had the same problem. On vista the run as system exe crashes, turns out there is a bug in vista with a API it uses. A vista machine with all updates doesnt have the problem, but the ones before that do. So I will be working on an update to get that fixed and use a different API.

I can replicate it easily so wait till the v2.8.7 to see how it does :-)

I am starting work on it now and a fresh install of vista in vmware with no updates replicates the program crashing, so I have a test bed to make sure the new exe for the run as service doesnt crash on vista any more :-)

Thanks Shane I will try it as soon as I can and let you know.  I do have a question regarding my desktop windows 7 home prem..  Two monitors with 3 programs running. I have several program window panes open in various locations on the monitors.   I leave on all week and shut down Friday and restart Sunday evening.  After EVERY OTHER shut down and restart several of the window panes move to random positions and I have to relocate.  Do you know what the problem might be and would your program fix that?  Thanks.

Program wont fix that because it is windows doing it.

I have 3 monitors on my system. When I turn my computer on, if any of the 3 monitors are turned off when I boot up then windows thinks one of the monitors is unhooked and changes everything around. Super annoying.

But if I have my 3 monitors on before I even turn on the tower then it boots up just fine.

Windows will detect the monitors and the information from them. If anything ever changes then windows auto changes the resolutions and monitor setup.

Strange.  When I shut my computer down I don't turn off the monitors.  I leave them on.  Like I said, it happens every other shut down/power up cycle.

When you get a chance, do a power reset.

When the tower is off pull the power cord from it and pull the power cord from each monitor. Wait about 2 min and then plug them all back in and see if that helps.

Sometimes the hardware just needs reset, and to do that you need to drain all the juice out of it :wink:

Thank you!
