I've had a bit of problem with my system after installing what my have been a
bad piece of software. I've uninstalled it in safe mode, and managed to get
back into my system, but when I first attempted to use the system restore (in
safe mode) it would not run. It will not run now either.
When I launch it from the start menu, I get the following error:
===================================================
There was an unexpected error:
The Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
(0x8007007B)
System Restore will now close.
====================================================
All my drives are operating (there are 4 physical hard drives) normally, and
I've even attempted to run system restore with my (occasionally powered on)
USB drive attached and running. This drive is used for the sole purpose of
backing up data and normally is powered off.
Any ideas what the problem could be and how it can be fixed? Windows
problem management has not chosen to report the problem for me.
Additional: Before submitting this, I looked through the event viewer, and
now see that there have been numerous failures at creating a restore points
over the past several months, and even a few failures back when I first built
this machine. This may be a bigger problem, if it has never worked
properly...
