I am trying to create a restore point while all is working the way it is suppose to.
(That is every thing with the exception of the resolution issue. Which is not that important any way; at least I can connect to the Internet and perform every thing I have to do on the laptop.)
Every time I try to create a restore point I keep getting "Access denied (0x80070005)".
I have no idea what is going on. I have administrator rights. I'm the only one who uses the laptop.
Any help will be appreciated.

Go to services (in the start search box type services.msc). Scroll down until your find Volume Shadow Copy. What is listed under status and startup type?

Also, what AV and firewall programs are you using?

It is set to "Manual". I started "Shadow Volume" and tried it to no avail. Same as before.

Also, can you start your computer in safe mode and create a restore point?

Sorry about the delay. My 92 year old mother lives with me; she called me about the time I read the last post.
Kapersky Internet Security 2010.
Will have to go off line and then boot into "Safe Mode".
I will give it a try and get back to you.

Running Kapersky's fire wall.
Status of "Shadow Volume" is blank. (There is no status shown.)

This is what the majority of my research indicates:

This error occurs because the recovery partition is enabled for File Backup or System Restore and is almost full. To work around this, do not select D:\ as a backup source. Also, go to System Protection in Control Panel and make sure that D:\ is not enabled for restore points.

Let's take a look at the partitioning on your computer.
  • Go to Start > Run.
  • Type in diskmgmt.msc and click Enter.
On right side you will see a visual depiction of the partitions on your hard drive. I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply.
  • To take a screenshot press Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key.
  • Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint.
  • Press CTRL+V to paste the contents of the screenshot into the paint workspace.
  • Go to File > Save As.
  • Save the file as a JPEG to your desktop.
Please attach the screenshot to your next reply.

I hope this is what you need. Just in case I did two "Print Screens".

There is not a System Protection in the Control Panel.

On a whim... try disabling System Restore (boot back into normal mode now), restarting your computer and reinitializing it. Who knows, sometimes this simple solution is the right one.
