Afer usig System Restore I get a message saying an unspecified error occurred 0000022. Any ideas?

Problem with the restore image. System restore is hit and miss in my experience. If its a problem, insert your Windows DVD and boot it up. Select the repair option when prompted.

Are you talking about restoring from a restore point or from a system image? Go to an elevated command prompt. Run following command: SFC /SCANNOW Oh yes, elevated command prompt means to run CMD.EXE with administrative privileges. WIN |type CMD.EXE | DO NOT HIT ENTER | RIGHT-CLICK on CMD.EXE in the resulting list | click on Run as Administrator Try agian. Win Win 7 I've had zero problems with restoring to a previous restore point and also zero problems reinstalling from a system image backup, but I have a knack for keeping it simple and following directions to the letter. If still no success, disable your anti-virus software, unless you are using Microsoft Security Essentials. Try again. Still no luck? Run CleanMgr.EXE and try again.

Karl could you walk me through your fix, I don't want to make things worse. thanks

Kody, Go to an elevated command prompt. elevated command prompt means to run CMD.EXE with administrative privileges. WIN |type CMD.EXE | DO NOT HIT ENTER | RIGHT-CLICK on CMD.EXE in the resulting list | click on Run as Administrator when you get the C:\windows\system32> prompt, type following: SFC /SCANNOW and hit the ENTER key You will see a message saying: Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. next line will show what % of system scan has been completed. IF, and only IF, all went well you will see: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. If you did not get that msg then, then shutdown your computer, disconnect the computer from your network and run SFC /Scannow again. Let me know if you get that "did not find any integrity violations." msg.

Thanks, I'll let you know how it went
