Well, you folks are my last hope. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I(we) can solve my problem without having to re-install Vista Home Premium. Here goes:
System restore has stopped working on my (fairly) new Compaq Presario SR5152nx computer with pre-installed Vista Home Premium. When I tried to use System Restore I got the following message:
"System Restore does not appear to be functioning correctly on this system. The Volume Shadow Copy service used by System Restore is not working."
Ok, so I went to Services and attempted to turn on System Restore, figuring "something" may have turned it off. When I attempted to turn it on I got the following message:
"Windows could not start the Volume Shadow Copy on local computer. For more information, review the System Event log."
I looked at the Event log and seen the following:
"The Volume Shadow Copy service terminated with service-specific error 2147549183 (0x8000fff)"
I contacted HP for support and was told to use System Recovery. However if I use System Restore, I'll lose everything on my computer, and re-installing everything is one heck of a chore that I really do not look forward to.
Just a little side note. The computer seems to be working very well, even though System Restore is not working at all.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Pauley.
