Title: Cannot Create System Restore Point (0x81000203)
Post by: stryke on 15. March 2012., 03:23:24

Hello everyone,

I just really need some help here. I cannot create system restore point in my computer. Everytime I clicked system protection tab for system restore there is always an error coming up. There is a prompt saying:

There was an unexpected error in the property page:

System Restore encountered an error. Please try to run System Restore
again. (0x81000203)

Please close the property page and try again.


What shall I do? I am running Windows 7 Home Basic SP1 64-bit. I dont know if disabling Hibernation file will affect system restore point because I currently disable it.  I had also erase system restore file before and I'm trying to create one now. This problem has already been in a  long time that I really need help now.



Please help me. Thanks for your response.

Thanks a lot Samker. Thank God, I had already solved it a few hours ago. There was just a disabled service under services, Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider. I set it to automatic. I searched it in the internet and just found the answer.  Thanks again for your response.
