In the System Configuration window switch to the Boot tab and check the Safe boot box> Ok .

When your desktop is in Windows Safe Mode , click Start and enter System in the search box and select System Restore (or you can enter System Restore and press Enter).

If System Restore works in Safe Mode, you should run this utility right now. Stop antivirus programs and corrupted files (such as turning off Norton's Tamper protection) before performing System Restore.

Sometimes your system files may have been damaged when performing Restore. You may have to use an earlier restore point (especially if you have tried newer ones but failed), but if these actions still don't work, you may need to switch to mode System Restore off (this will delete all current restore points), restart your computer and try again.

3. Configure the hard disk space (300MB)

To do so, go to Start and enter Disk Cleanup in the search box, right-click on the first item and select Run as Administrator .

At the window that appears select the More Options tab then select Clean up .

System Restore may always work well for you, but if you have tried a lot of ways that System Restore doesn't work completely, try backing up your system image. This process will create a photo of your system when it works stably and smoothly so you can restore this state in case of a problem. Windows 7 has a built-in function for you to create system and image repair discs. Just go to Start, type " repair " or " system repair " in the search box and follow the instructions to create a repair disk.

To create an image of the system, enter ' back up ' in the search box and select back up your computer .

6. Reinstall Windows

If System Restore does not work even in Safe Mode, it is likely that the file has been corrupted. Or if System Restore works but doesn't fix the problem you are experiencing, chances are that the Restore point you created earlier has failed.
