System restore

reneegade · 05-30-2008

My system did an auto update yesterday and InDesign CS3 no longer worked. So I did a system restore to the day before yesterday. During the restore process, the system crashed before completing. Now I cannot get it to restore to any point at all - seems to go through the process but on restart it tells me that it was unsuccessful.

Any ideas?

Try to uninstall the updates one by one.

Or do a /sfc scannow in cmd.

Hello reneegade,
Please try to do system restore in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Type in the command prompt : c:\windows\system32\rstrui.exe

Does it work this time ?

Use f8 to startup to last known good configuration. If it truely is good, then make a restore point and restore to it.

Thanks for all your help - did a few of these and a few more uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign and it's working again.

Thanks again
