Cannot restore

[john h]

When I open system restore i get a heading with system restore but the rest

of the application is blank and so I cannot use system restore. Any ideas

what may have caused this?

I have completed a malware and virus scan and none detected.

 

[db]

sometimes the system restore

calendar becomes blank.



here is a utility to try:

Malware usually disables your resident a/v software. It doesn't

broadcast this fact, so think it's still working.



Download, install, update and run these:



Malwarebytes© Corporation

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe



SuperAntispyware

The utility tells me there are two incorrect registry entries on my

system and wants to fix my registry but my System Restore works fine.



What do do...

System Restore is a frequent target for malicious software attacks.

If SR was

working before and is now afflicted, run some scans and then resolve

any remaining

issues.



Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware

detection

programs:



Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/

SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/



They can be uninstalled later if desired.



When the scans run clean it may also be necessary to reregister some

DLLs. Reregistering

the DLLs is okay even if they do not need reregistering. You can also

reregister the

DLLs before the scans which may fix the issue, but the scans are still

recommended.



Click Start, Run and in the box enter the following commands one at a

time. Click the

OK button to execute each command:



regsvr32 jscript

regsvr32 vbscript

regsvr32 /i mshtml



The last command for mshtml will load the DLL but may also contain a

harmless warning

message depending on your environment.
