Vista system restore?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know how to run system restore in Vista? I loaded a bad driver for my mouse, that somehow screwed up my keyboard driver, now I cant get either to work unless I use a USB mouse and boot to safe mode and remove my keyboard. then reboot. This would be fine except I use a KVM.

I dont want to reload as I finally got everything working.

Am I overlooking something?

Boot to safemode selection screen and chose the last known good configuration. That should cure it.

Pretty sure you should post that in the beta forums for Vista ...

Also, you probably shouldn't let others know you are in the beta since there is a NDA.

Of couse this is due to my assumption that your copy of the Beta is legal from Microsoft itself...

I looked for it myself, and couldn't find it. If you want to see something funny, open up "Help" and go to the System Restore section. :rofl:

Also, try this:

Start --> Run --> %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

See if that does anything (it's the command to run it in XP)... I know it's turned on by default, there just seems to be no way to launch it.

Serial: Give it up. You're on a forum that was originally dedicated to windows beta discussion. As long as nobody tells us where to get the beta illegally - I think a lot of blind eyes are being turned to such things!

Well I checked in the control panel and it seems that system restore is turned off by default. So unless you turned it on before loading that bad driver, I don't think you can do anything.

system restore is gone now, microsoft has stated that it is being replaced by a new version of Microsoft Backup will contain similar features, along with a backup to dvd/cd feature to image your drive
