System Restore Error

[Kevin]

I need to do a system restore because I installed a bad app in Vista
Ultimate but I get the following error. I would really appreciate some help
so I can get back to a stable state

Error:

System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files
and settings were not changed.

Details:
The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error may not reoccur. (0x800423F3)

Thanks,

Kevin

Based on another customer who worked with Dell to troubleshoot this, we
think it's an imaging problem (that is, the way in which Dell copies the
Vista image to the new computer). The customer was advised by Dell to
reinstall Vista, which fixed the problem. Unfortunately I don't have any
other workaround for you.

My advice is to contact your computer's manufacturer for assistance. If it's
Dell, they should be able to look up past cases on this.

Have same problem in System Restore with transient error. Can not get
rid of it. Tried sfc/scannow with no result. Tried to restart system
restore but same error. Understand that it may be due to volume shadow
copy being set to manual and needs to be restarted - set to automatic
and then started - but no clue how?

Any ideas? Looks like I might have to re-install.

I am running Vista Ultimate x86 and the default setting for the Volume
Shadow Copy service is Manual, Started. I don't have any problems with the
default setting. However, if you wish to change it click on the Start orb
and type Services. Click on Services at the top of the list, click on Allow
when you get the UAC prompt and you will be in Services.
Scroll down to Volume Shadow Copy, right click on it and select
Properties. In the Volume Shadow Copy Properties window, "Startup type"
dropdown list you can select Automatic (Delayed Start). This will start the
service after your computer has finished booting. If you select Automatic it
will start during the boot process, which is unnecessary and can cause an
additional delay in your startup time.
Once you have chosen Automatic (Delayed Start) you need to click on
Apply. If the service shows that it is stopped you then need to click on the
Start button, under "Service status" and then click on Apply. Once you have
done this you can click on OK and you are done. Close the Services window.
