Bdis2012 Prevents System Restore

Hello,


System Restore, on XP sp3 is prevented by BDIS 2012 (15.0.38.1605). After restart, an "Incomplete Restore" message appears and there is no restoration. I've tried installing and uninstalling BD but nothing.


When I uninstall BD, System restore works fine.


Thank you

    Hello :)


    We are currently investigating your case. We are trying to reproduce the situation on some test machines.


    I will get back to you with an answer.


    Take care.

  • Try to restore from Safe Mode. I have found an article "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831829"

    Hi JAGUARS,


    It was the first I did even with BDIS services disabled but nothing. When I uninstall BDIS System Restore works fine.


    Thanks for reply :)

    Hello :)


    Welcome back!


    Are you telling me that System Restore doesn't work in Safe Mode?


    Our product doesn't load any service or driver in that mode.


    Take care.

  • Hi Christian,


    That's right. Even in Safe mode, System Restore cannot work. After restart you can see bellow (image) what happens.


    When I uninstall BDIS, System Restore works fine.

  • ...and one more thing:


    When BDIS is UNINSTALLED, System Restore takes about 1 or more minutes (depends on the requested date) to restart Windows.


    When BDIS is INSTALLED, System Restore takes less than 5 seconds (for any requested date) to restart Windows.


    This behavior is the same in either normal and safe mode.

    "Method 3: Make sure that you have sufficient disk space on all the drives where System Restore is enabled" :D:D:D Ok. Enough with the laughs...


    WHEN BDIS IS UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING'S OK.



    P S : There is plenty of space on my disk (used 11GB, free 20GB, with BDIS installed).

    Hello :)


    Welcome back!


    Please install this version and let me know if everything is OK.


    After the installation press Update now, it will be updated to .39 build(in Events, under Update you will see the Reboot now prompt). Reboot the PC and then use System Restore.

    Take care.

  • Hi Christian,


    I've followed your instructions and unfortunately, System Restore cannot work.


    It's the 4th time I did all this.

    I suspect that with Antivirus installed, Windows System Restore don't work.


    But let's try something


    1) Boot your PC in Safe Mode


    2) Go to RUN and type service.msc


    3) Locate all the Bitdefender Services and do the following for all of them


    General


    Start up Type: Disabled


    Service Status: Stop


    LogOn


    Hardware Profile Service: Disabled


    1) Stop and Restart the “System Restore Service”


    2) Then do System Restore from Safe Mode

  • Hello ONT


    Finally, I've installed again Xp Pro sp3 and now "System Restore" works but only in "Safe Mode" without any further modification.


    Thank you very very much!

    Hello :)


    Please read this article just to clear out some things:

    Thank you.

  • Hi Christian,


    Microsoft article refers to infected items so, how can be explained that on a fresh, clean Win XP installation, with only BDIS and some clean apps (Firefox, Flash player, Adobe Reader) installed, "System Restore" works only in "Safe Mode"? Is it normal?

    Hello :)


    Some changes will be made in the near future in the product, probably directly in Bitdefender 2013 and this should be solved.


    Thank you very much for your feedback!
