3 Vista problems

[stuartjems]

I'm currently facing three chronic Vista problems, so I decided to combine them into one thread.

1. System Restore gives me an incorrect parameter error when I launch it, when I click OK (the only option, it quits). I don't know the exact error message.

2. Windows update gives me error 8007002 when I go and check for updates; all my update history has also been wiped. (The check runs for a while, then stops and gives me 8007002.

3. My internet stops working after resuming from sleep.

Sounds like one of the system restore points is borked probably the quickest and easiest way is to turn system restore off - restart and turn it back on though this will wipe all your past restore points. Do you need to restore to a previous backup ? if so you might have to delete them one at a time manually to get rid of the offending restore point which is not ideal of course.

3. My internet stops working after resuming from sleep.

Check your idle time settings under connections > options - set it to never if you always want it on.
