windows me shutdown and system restore
Your system restore problem:
First, check that you don't have a wininit.ini file. If you do, rename this to wininit.old and retry System Restore. If this works then you possibly have a program that creates a wininit.ini file each time you boot your system. One known example is tgcmd.exe from the late lamented @Home another is a program called "ACCESS DENIED". If you have tgcmd.exe I understand that disabling it in MSConfig | Startup will have no adverse effect on your system but enable you to use System Restore. Likewise ACCESS DENIED needs to be "switched off" whilst using SR to either create or restore to a previous checkpoint. McAfee's Spam Killer also seems to create a new wininit.ini file each time the system is booted. See also MS KB 274092 - "Error Message: System Restore Cannot Run Until You Restart the Computer" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=274092). If this isn't the reason for your problem then try running SCANREG /FIX from a command prompt such as Start | Run. Note that the system will re-boot so don't have any applications open when doing this. I suggest this because the same message is also displayed when the registry has been corrupted in some way. scanreg /fix attempts to repair that damage. Hopefully one or the other will solve your problem and allow you to create a manual check point. Finally you may want to carry out a quick test of system restore to check that all is now OK; a) Create a shortcut on your desktop to a file. b) Create a manual checkpoint c) Delete the shortcut d) Restore you PC to the checkpoint you created. Was the shortcut restored? Did you see any error messages? -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP carl wrote: When I try to shutdown my computer I get this message 'File name VWIN32(05) + 00001200 error:0028 C02A44A8 press any key to continue or Cont/Alt/Del to restart your computer'.
