Yes .... Copy - Paste SFCFIX worked but if I run sfc /scannow again then the error used to recurr. Again I have to run the Copy - Paste SFC FIX . Then corrupt files / errors.....till I re - run sfc /scannow.... BrianDrab of Sysnative Forum had to send me 2 fixes to get out of the situation. Thanks to BrianDrab for his patience with me that inspite of clear warning not to use Copy-Paste fixes I used it -- my misadventure.

There is something more that I did not mention because I had fumbled badly. I followed the steps mentioned in the article attached -- No System restore Points. I fumbled at the step --CMD prompt - defrag /h c: - This command did not run anything. So I tried - defrag c: - This did not completely defrag C drive.

Now at the step, Reboot ... came the problem -- many of my applications upon Startup came up with error - No Memory.
I kept rebooting till all these no memory - errors vanished. I should have tried this in Safe Mode but I did it in Normal Mode and making sure that in Virtual Memory Setting - No Paging File - is deselected.

Then I skipped all that had to do with Paid software - Easy Recovery Essentials -- I went to follow the steps of other article as attached - How to trouble shoot MSS VSS - and run VSS FIX. Then run System restore -- And SUCCESS!

This CATASTROPHIC ERROR - 8000FFFF - is all about LOW MEMORY - I had read it somewhere on the net.

This is how by trial and error - I made it. Behind my success there is nothing but my failures.
And now, its time to show the snap -shots of success  ---  ( 2 pictures) as attached.

We close the thread....SOLVED SUCCESSFULLY. ( If anything ....contact me on my email).

Thanks.

Yes Sir.......today is a lucky day.....
Your hint that VSS may not be working....
That is... by default ... VSS is Stop / Manual.....
I put it Automatic and Start.....
System Restore still did not work....
Then I do Research & Destruction.... scientists call it R&D for short.....
I found a good article on VSS. It is attached.
At the bottom of the article there is a link for 32 bit download VSSfix.
I downloaded VSSfix and run it.
Then I try System restore.
Bingo! It worked. System Restore Point created successfully.

Yes and by the way I got response from sysnative.forum.
That problem of MSDTC.log was getting repaired everytime I run sfc tool.
Perhaps it was because I did that copy paste from other member.
Sysnative warned me copy-paste won't work and sent me an exclusive fix.
It now works nicely. Then I try sfc and get result - No corruption.
My PC is tip top once again.

Thanks to Boggin of tweaking.com and BrianDrab of Sysnative.forum.
My first experience with forums and that too 2 at a time was very delightful.
Glad to know that in this world there are people who are far away but available to help a user.
Many a times users like me get frustrated and think a lot about the pace with which science and technology moves and fear being left behind....

Thanks.

I think it is high time we close this thread.....Say What!

Dear takitezsdc,

I think there is a freeware for your requirements that you mentioned in red ink --- nLite. Just check it out. I have never used it but had read about it and computer repair techies use it with lot of confidence. It is something you can hold on CD and pendrive as an ISO.

And yes, I use Windows Vista Starter 32 bit since 2009. This OS came free with my Desktop PC. My desktop PC is very low cost PC. This OS was sold in India to control use of pirated softwares and for good looks like sidebar (although sidebar is a security risk). I like Win Vista Starter because it does not crash immediately due to virus, etc. It has something called DEP (data Execution Protection).Frankly, in 2009 I did not know what was I buying ... I only wanted a low cost desktop PC to play games and surf the internet. I never use pirated software but prefer freewares. I like new technology but I want full worth for what I pay  ... so I have not yet migrated to Win 7, Win 8.1 or 10. Its a pity that by the time we get familiar with OS, Microsoft shifts to newer versions...newer hardware....It is all R&D at customers cost..I guess. MS and computer harwares must sell finished products... then we can use and throw. But there are somethings that become so dear with use that I like to maintain even if its old and obsolete.... like a vintage car. Say what?

Sir,
I have done some R&D (Research & Destruction) to find out the following --

Windows Backup & Restore service does not exist in Win Vista Starter. See the link--

http://batcmd.com/windows/vista/services/sdrsvc/

SDRDVC service is not available in Win Vista Starter.

Also, System restore is controlled by group policy. And in Win Vista Starter we have no access to group policy.

Also sfc fix and sfc zip for MSDTC.LOG I copied from the link you gave from sysnative forum .... it worked. So this issue is resolved. I have run Windows All in One Repairs in Safe Mode twice. But I am yet to check that System Restore works consistently. I will test it on Saturday / Sunday and get back to you on Monday Dec 5 2016. Hopefully everything will be tip top once again.

Bindesh.

I do not think my computer is at fault. I maintain it in tip top condition. Then, I found that MS has fumbled in .Net Framework updates-- many updates are simply roll-ups. So I uninstalled all .Net Framework versions and also C++ VS versions from my computer and re-installed it using WSUS offline partly, Autopatcher partly and Runtimes All in One. Then I tried to run Windows Update and windows defender. It worked.

Next I am to focus on System Restore. It is showing no system restore points. And Catastrophic failure. Anti virus is unable to catch anything. Let me try adware cleaner.....

I will get back to you as soon as it is resolved. In the meantime, any new line of action......

I have a Licensed Win Vista Starter 32 bit SP1 CD. Do I need to download ISO?
In Vista, sfc /scannow does not need an OS CD (unlike Win XP).
We can straight away do sfc /scannow in Vista.
I think you are mentioning OFFBOOT sfc /scannow.
I doubt if Win Vista Starter will come up with System Repair Screen.
That feature is not available in Win Vista Starter.
The ISO download is Win Vista Ultimate....
Presently downloading ....it may take 3 hours.
I will be in contact after download is over.

Yes Sir.... I did as instructed.
1- Safe Mode - System restore - No restore Points.
2- Ran Anti virus - Dr. Web failed - error 1722/1726.
3- Ran Adware Cleaner - 10 threats removed.
4- Ran ESET Online Scanner - No threats found.
5- Ran FSS Tool - Results as attached in file - FSS .txt
It may be noted that SDRSVC service is not working. Does Win Vista Starter supposed to have this service?
It may be linked to System restore ?
6-SFCfix - Same as before - MSDTC.log File Corrupt.
7- System restore - Catastrophic Failure - 8000FFFF.
8- Done as instructed to reset Win Update Components.
9- Do not know where to get Win Update Agent (latest) for Vista. MS does not support anything - Blank pages.
10- Check Win Update - Keeps searching for hours.....
I will keep the Win Update search on -- some say it may take as long as 10 hours. I will give it a try ...10 hours.

Guide me, Sir.... What next to do?
Shall I try WSUS offline Update .... if Win Update starts working, we can focus on System Restore.....
Thanks. Bindesh.

Alright...I will not run registry cleaners and carry out those cmd prompts as you have given and then reboot.
I am away from home PC till Saturday... so I will do these steps on Saturday for Win Update repair.
And I have not attempted System Restore in Safe Mode. I know the steps to go in safe mode and do it. I just skipped it -- concluding that it is virus problem. Better to run antivirus, etc. first.....before attempting any repairs, I think.

Those articles that you have given links belong to Win 7. My OS is Win Vista Starter 32 bit. Will it work on my PC?

Thanks.
Bindesh.

Yes... VSS service was on Manual.
Made it on Auto and Start. Reboot.
Same error- catastrophic failure.

In the meantime, I see Win Update is not working again - error 80070002.
It may get repaired by Win All in One.

I plan to run DiskMax, System Ninja, TidyDisk, CCleaner, Free RegRepar to clean junk in PC.
Then to check Virus problem - Anti Malwarebytes, Super Antispyware and Dr. Web.

In the meantime, I wait for sysnative forum to respond with some solution.

So I will get back to you on Mon - Nov 21.
Please be with me till this issue is solved.
Thanks.
Bindesh.

All said and done..... I will wait for a response.
But if Windows -All-In- One had a solution for Windows Restore, we would not gone to other forums....
I am sure we will be seeing a new version of Win All in 1 Repairs very soon with more features and repairs.

Sir,

Alreadya thread was started by me in sysnative forum 3-4 days ago but did not get any response.
Wonder how you could spot a thread with similar problem in sysnative forum.

Anyway, thanks. I am yet to get used to using forums.

By the way, Windows all in one repair has no repair for System Restore?

General Computer Support / MSDTC.LOG - sfc found it corrupt & cannot repair [SOLVED]

« on: November 14, 2016, 03:51:04 am »

OS - Windows Vista Starter 32 bit

I have noticed that - Either Windows Update works or System Restore works. Both cannot work on my computer.

When I repair Windows Update via WSUS offline, it works OK. But then System Restore won't work.

System Restore gives error - 0x8000FFFF.

I do sfc /scannow only to find that a particular file pertaining to system restore is corrupt. Hence the problem.

The file is -

AutoAnalysis::
CORRUPT: C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-com-dtc-runtime_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6001.18000_none_195302e56002fb82\MSDTC.LOG
