Getting the time out error 0X81000101 when I try to set a restore point on Vista X64 Home Premium. This happened right after trying to install a Creative external 24bit Live sound blaster driver updates.
I have read many threads and have done the following to no avail:
Turned off AVG free 8.5 Resident Shield.
Ran disk clean up and rebooted.
Turned off System Restore as Administrator, rebooted, turned on System Restore for C: drive only.
Made sure that the Volume Shadow Copy Service is Running and set on Automatic and Started.
I have read a few regedit posts but am reluctant to try that yet since I can't make a copy of my registry right now with the failed System Restore. When I do try to create a System Restore point, it hangs forever. Task manager says it is not responding.
What is a poor noobie Vista boy to do?
