Was using Internet Explorer 7 got so mad at it and
Downloaded FireFox [Much Better] Then I sent Microsoft an e-mail telling them what I thought of Explorer 7 & Vista

Actually Ie7 is alot better than firefox speed wise and memory wise it just really depends on what computer and processor it is running

The System Restore errors are caused by disabled services - I had the same problem with MS automatic updates.

-Click on the pearl then type "Services" in the search box (Don't type in the quotes, of course).
-Right click on Services (with the gears beside it) and pick Run As Administrator (I don't know if this in necessary, but I run everything in Vista as admin...That way programmes have an XP feel to them and actually, you know, work.)
-Head down the list to "Volume Shadow Copy", double click on it and enable it if it's not enabled.
-Then go back up the list a bit to "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider" and double click on it to enable it if it's disabled.

After that, I went back to the control panel and, voila - a successful restore point was created.

I didn't have to restart the computer to make this work, but that might be necessary for some.

Oh, and FireFox kicks IE's behind in every single way. (:

Happy Vista hacking, y'all!

Hi,
Chang some registry value in Windows Vista, add the following registry entry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices\Offline registry subkey in Windows vista.

Value name: \DosDevices\D:
Type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1

Hope you able to open System Restore point.
