Beta Repair System Restore
« on: December 26, 2012, 04:00:16 pm »
In Tweaking.com - Windows Repair All In One v1.9.3 I have added a beta repair to repair the system restore for Vista, 7 & 8.

Please post your results here on how the repair went for you. :wink:

Can't find "srcore.dll"on my Win 7 laptop except in the "Windows\winsxs\..." folders. Is this a Windows Update failure ?

I downloaded and tried the program but it didn't seem to have any affect on my problems.  I ran SFC before and after and it shows a corrupt msje40.dll and I also have a problem in regards to MDAC and net.framework stating it needs version 2.6 or better and I believe I have 2.8 installed.  Seems to be a good diagnostic program and I would recommend it to others.

Missasip1938, this is a thread on how the repair system restore tool works, not the rest of the program. Was system restore working before or after the repair?

Willy2, that DLL is a system restore component and should be in your system32 folder.

I'm confused, I had tried lots and lots of restore to get the MDAC conflict fixed but just didn't make any positive progress and had hoped repair program might accidently find and fix it for me.  I like the program and will recommend it to others.  The SFC continues to report the msjet40.dll to be corrupt every time I have run it and I thought sfc.exe /scannow might fix it but apparently not.  Thanks for your reply.

Start a new thread for the msjet40.dll error and I will see what I can do to help :-)

This repair creates a number of log files. When I open these files with Notepad then they seem to be empty. But when I click on properties then Windows tells me that these files are 2 bytes in size. And then, I suppose, then won't be considered to empty by WR.

The program checks if they are 1 byte and deletes them. I wonder why they are 2 bytes? Perhaps they have some spaces in them?

I guess it's the result of the way these log files are created. RB system restore uses the "/errorlog" option. Whereas other repairs use the "2>>" method.

Is this language related ? What is the situation on your system ?

I can create restore points but they don't show.  My only restore point is a system image  restore point I made when I bought my laptop.  Under configure it shows disk space usage at 0 bytes.  Will the beta repair system restore program fix this problem?  BTW I can't make backups also.  I back up to an external drive.  Using windows7 64 bit.  Thanks.

Did some more testing. Using the "/errorlog" switch makes an empty log file have the size of 2 bytes. But the "2>>" method reduces the length of an empty log file to zero bytes.

What is the slider bar moved to? If it is at the start try moving the slider bar up to give it move space.

The slide is set at 15%, disk space used 0%.  As I wrote I can make restore points no problem.  If I install some programs it sets a restore point but I have no restore points except a system image restore point that says it's a backup.  My windows back up doesn't work either.  I just found this site so thought one of your programs might work but as I have no restore points I don't want to take a chance on something that I can't undo.

The beta repair does set the permissions to the folder where the restore points are stored. So it might be worth trying :-)

I ran the beta.  Did a restore point and backup first as directed.  Still no restore points listed.  No log file that I could find either.

System restore needs the volume shadow copy service to backup the files. Run my Registry backup program and see if it is able to use VSS ok.

One of the steps prior to running the program was to create a restore point and back up the registry.  It made a restore point and backed up the registry.  I see the  back up listed.  Still no restore points even though one was created.  I actually went through all the steps as suggested.

Ok so those services that are needed and not starting, what happens if you go and try to start them manually?

The first time I ran it I forgot to disable my virus (Avast free) so I disabled that and ran it again.  Might be why there are double entries.  Are the settings for any of these wrong?  Should any be automatic?  Thanks for your help!

They should be on manual. Go to the services in Windows and see if you can start them and if they stay running. If they dont then something else is wrong, either something not set right or something on the system killing them.

I used the repair to system restore and have no clue if it worked or not I've been getting an external drive that came up missing from the system In order I had to turn protection off for drive. To get it out of system and from showing up as missing in system restore. I have set a restore point but have not done a system restore the C
drive protection is on, good enough. The external is of, Still need to scrub it, wipe the free space and when I do a system restore will notify. Request Shane can a sliding bar
graph be installed to know it is running, besides the red light for PC and ready boost light flashing that it is working. Hope your fix to System Restore worked Take care Shane from John

Ah I see, right now the repair is just in the CMD window you see open. So if you see the cmd window open you know it is working. The program just writes everything that needs to be done to a bat file and runs it. But adding a item to the program to show it isnt locked up isnt hard for me to do :-)
