(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay , I have Dell Latitude 610 Running On Windows Xp . It has battery issues and some other . But i wanna get into this system restore thing . i tried to restore my Laptop but as you know i have a Battery issue where it shuts off random . Well in the middle of restoring it , it shuts off and i turn it on again to try to restore it again but whenever i open System Restore it Pops Open But its just a blank White program . I even put it in Safe Mode and try it but IT STILL WONT open System Restore . I Need Advice on what to do from Here .

Okay first off, does your laptop stay on when it's plugged in? If so then the issue of it turning off so quickly when it's on the battery is most likely due to having a bad battery (you probably already knew that though).

Now for the system restore, the actual program opens but it's a just a blank screen? Sorry, I'm just trying to clarify what you're saying so I can help you out the best that I can.

What I am getting is somehow the bad battery has caused the system restore to become corrupt.

All I got, would help if people gave more information, like you said.

Yeah I Know That , But i Bought a new Battery yesterday for 96 bucks but that still wont charge so im thinking is the AC Adapter Cord then . And yeah Then Program It self opens up but its Blank (its a Screen) . Im going to To this store i got the laptop at to see whats the problem . But if you have any Advice to give me i will be open to all (ahahaha) .

Oh okay, then yeah that's probably the AC adapter. As for the program not showing up I know on my computer (Windows 7) it wasn't showing up so I went into services and saw that it was disabled...I re-enabled it and it started working just fine so that might be the case for you.

On Windows XP to open up your services follow this guide: You must login or register to view this content.

Then simply find the windows backup and restore service, the name should be pretty obvious and check to make sure it's enabled.

Then post back and let me know what your results are.

To determine if its the ac adaptor, take the battery out and plug the laptop in, if it still shuts down, you know its the adapter.

Okay I tried that Tutorial but it didnt work for me . And yes it was the adapter ive got a new one but the system restore still wont pop up . the guy at the computer place said that i might of or did corrupt my operating system by shutting off my laptop when in restore mode . I dont know what to do . i either can buy i new one or give it to them so they can re-boot it for $120 . What should i doo .

I tried to record it in TeamViewer But i couldnt upload it .

So you fixed the power problem?


Are you sure you have system restore turned on from: You must login or register to view this content.


If it was turned off, you won't have any point to restore to anyways because Windows wasn't creating restore points. If this is the case then you cannot restore your computer unfortunately.

Although I suspect the above is void since you had already accessed system restore. But please do check.


At this point the only thing you can do is to re-install windows if you would want too, other than that you just have to live with what you've got. There could be a way to re-install system restore:
