Reliability history gone

Why not use a system restore? Choose a restore point from before "problem" started...

Or - as a very last resort - make a system repair... http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...all.html?ltr=R


But seriously, using a system image restore would have taken you less than 10 minutes. Now you have used... what? hours?

A system image restore lasts several hours, and then another several hours for defrag. Telling by experience.

The strange thing is that I have deactivbated the services I have already several weeks ago, immediately after installing the system - and initially, the reliability history still worked, there is even a thread here that deals with how I was ppointed towards it. I have not deactivated services since then, and I am somewhat cautuous to do so anyway, not touching anything I cannot identify, and focussing on switching off typical office things and netwoprk rlated things, since I am not part of a network and have no business environment here.

What if I switch on all services? Would that do any bad? And then working my way down again with switching off obvious things? Working with the BlackPnather list is a pain, even more since I have the German windows and thus the services often do not sdtart with the same letters in their title in both languages.

On the other hand, the reliab ilty historxy only is of interest in case of problems, it get messed up every time a game stalls and goes ctd, or I plug off a USB stick without using the software to do so. The various windows and event logfiles nevertheless get created and can be accessed.

That they still have no "return to default" button included for the service list. How many years is this being asked for now? Ten years? I seem to recall it was already demanded under NT or 98, or do I get carried away here?
