benplace Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benplace Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I dont think that will do it, as I can boot and use the system right now. So I am considered on a good configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerialStorm Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 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...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted August 1, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted August 1, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benplace Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I do have it legally, through my MSDN Universal. So bit me! j/k LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCheese Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted August 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 1, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
