After installing SP1 RTM in Audit mode, I tried to remove unnecessary files but I got this message: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Coppyright © 2009 Microsoft corporation. All right reserved. C:\Users \Administrator Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /spsuperseded Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version 6.1.7600.16385 Removing backup files created during service pack installation. Error: 1084 This service cannot be started in safe Mode The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log C:\Users\Administrator Can anybody tell me why I am in safe mode, and how can I change it so that I can remove these files? Thanks.

Hello (and sorry for my bad English, I'm French ) I've installed Windows 7 SP1 RTM in audit mode too and I have the same problem. After looking for errors in the dism log file, I found that to solve the problem you must Disable System Restore in the "System Properties" Dialog. Try to re-execute the Dism command and it works!

thanks. System restore is disabled in Safe mode, so this explains the message. Good post!"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Thanks rodix 53, that was very helpful. Encore merci beaucoup

Just an FYI, everything worked for me except that in audit mode system restore was already turned off. I had to go in, turn it on, which threw errors, and then turn it back off (also throwing errors) in order to get the command to execute. Thank you!
