If you do not like my inquiries you do not have to answer them.



Thank you.

could you provide more

information?



basically, the restore

point is supposed to be

located on the right side



however, not sure how to

envision your description

of it popping up every

5 minutes.



are you saying that the

description of the restore

point disappears and

reappears?

All Bear did was to make a disconnected *copy* (cf) of the OP's post from

this group in Usenet to a forum. PA Bear makes UNSOLICITED moves

(redirects) of posts a lot. Because he's a moderator (actually a site

admin) for a forum, he thinks he has the same rights in Usenet; however,

while moving posts around in his forum is within his purview, here in Usenet

that is trollish behavior. As typical of Bear, he either SHOVES someone

else's thread into a different group or forum (before the solution is known

so it is NOT known if that is the appropriate group/forum and the

unsolicited move is based on his personal biases), or he swamps them with a

barrage of questions usually across multiple posts (dragging them by the

nose) without offering any help up front despite that much of what he

requests is not required or reasonable guesses could be inferred to offer

help without having to first wade through Bear's maze of prompts.



Getting help from Bear is like phoning for tech support and getting stuck

having to wade through the voicemail prompts and where you might end up with

your discussion somewhere other than where you selected. Here's a prime

example of Bear shoving someone to somewhere else.

"repeating every 5 minutes"



Since a calendar is presented for you to select from which day to select a

restore point, are you saying that there are 288 entries for the same event

listed for each day?



Have you yet tried rebooting into Windows' Safe Mode, logging in, rebooting

into Windows' normal mode, and logging in to check if these restore points

are still getting repeatedly generated?



Have you rebooted into Windows' Safe Mode, logged in, and then monitored if

these restore points still get repeated generated?



If you don't need a restore point (which you probably don't have one that

you want since the old useful ones would've rolled out of the queue by now),

have you tried turning off the System Restore service which flushes all the

restore points and restarting it to see if the repeat events still occur?



When did you install the HP device and/or its accompanying software? Did

that installation finish okay? You sure that you installed the Windows XP

version of its driver or software (and not for some other version of

Windows)? Yet tried unplugging the device to see if the events (restore

points) stop getting generated?



When was the last time you updated your anti-malware and did a full scan of

your host?
 
Thank you for your information.



First of all, I went to :



Start/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore/Next



and I found to Windows:



The left window is like a calendar with a highlighted date(s).



The right window:



SUNDAY,FEBRUARY 14, 2010



First Line:

7:00:01 AM etc. etc

7:02:15 AM etc. etc

7L04:12 AM etc. etc



and keep repeating while the computer is on, during the whole day and every

day.



No deletions.

The following day is the same thing.



I tried in Safe Mode.

I turned off and on the System Restore.



The "complete clean install" was done with the advise of Dell on February 6,

2010, using the F12 key and deleting the harddrive partion.



On February 7, 2010 I installed the HP Officejet J3680 printer.



The Microsoft Windows Live OneCare was installed on February 7, 2010.



Last night I uninstalled the printer. And I created 4 "Restore Points" .



I am waiting to see if I can get and automatic "System Checkpoint".

Did a Norton or McAfee free trial come preinstalled on the computer when you

bought it?

What are you smoking? The abbreviation "cf," does not mean "copies

furnished": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Latin_abbreviations

No, all Bear did was cite a reference to OP's nearly identical post in

a forum where he just so happens to have Admin and Moderator

privileges.



From said referenced post, one can click on OP's profile and find OP's

posting history so that one might get some background on OP's earlier

problems which might shed some light on OP's current problem.



I will add that same posting history will show that I and many other

volunteers have spent a considerable amount of time assisting this OP

in the past.



One will also note that OP made no mention of having done a "complete

clean install" in her first post in either thread nor has she yet told

us why a "complete clean install" was necessary.

--

~PA Bear, posted via Google Groups
 
The "complete clean reinstall" was help by the Dell specialist, with CD-ROM

#3 (as I received #1, #2 and #3 from Dell).



I tried in SAFE MODE with the same results, kept repeating.



The printer was installed completely.



Last night I uninstalled the printer.



Then I checked System Restore and the "every so often messages" did not

appear.



Last night I created 4 "System Checkpoints".



Today I do not have any System Checkpoint. (13:10 P.M.)



Thank you once again for your valued help.

Restore points are not saved at periodic intervals. SOMETHING has to

initiate the generation of a restore point, like you doing a manual save or

a program doing it.



If the System Restore Service is not running (which would likely mean it was

not configured for Automatic startup) then it can't be doing anything, like

saving restore data points. If you disabled the System Restore option on a

hard drive (they can be configured separately) then no restore data points

get saved for that drive.





services.msc

Is the "System Restore Service" running (started)?

Is it configured for Automatic startup?



Control Panel -> System applet -> System Restore tab

Is it enabled (monitoring) on whatever drives you want it enabled?



Restore points require disk space. How much is free for the OS partition's

drive? You can't create files if there is no room for them.

Probably means you left Automatic Updates configured for automatic download

and install of updates whenever Microsoft decides they want to push them

onto your host. Is a variable state determined by someone else how you want

your host managed (i.e., managed by someone else)? Configure Automatic

Updates to only *notify* you of updates and then decide if and when to

install which ones (select a custom update rather than their express update

to see just what they want to push onto your host).
 
So what? I asked you a question and nothing in your reply even vaguely

resembles an answer to it.



Good luck.
