Can't Create Restore Point Vista x64

[badnewcastle]

Complete error:

The restore point could not be created for the following reason:

Access is denied. (0x80070005)

Please try again.

When I google I can only find two reasons for this:

1) I don't have the right permissions for the system to access the SVI (system volume information folder) I have created an administrator account with full permissions and it still doesn't work.

2) System restore is trying to create a restore point on a drive without enough space. I know drive has enough space, only using ~45 gigs on a 320gig driver.

Any ideas? Can anyone help?

Bump, also to let you know that I have taken full ownership of all drives on the computer and files therin. Anybody have any ideas???

One more bump then I quit, just in case nobody saw it.

Have you tried the obvious ie... disable System Restore then reboot PC,enable it again after reboot.I'm also wondering if a third party software is causing a problem ie flaky anti-virus,third party firewall etc?

Haven't tried disabling system restore and rebooting. The only 3rd party security application I'm using is AVG. I guess it could be AVG but when I disable it it still doesn't work.

Long shot I know but try disabling System Restore then reboot ,this'll clear it then you can enable it again after reboot,worth a try.

I'm with mem, nuke it and renable after reboot. Sounds like you changed permissions on the system restore folders. Did you happen to *remove* SYSTEMS access to it, that should definately still be there.

I added my username to the permissions and ownership... but also made sure to keep SYSTMES on board as well.

So far I have changed permissions and ownership to system and my username...
I have turned restore off and rebooted... still doesn't work.

I also defragged and ran diskchk... Everything is good ther. Still no luck... I'm going to try and disable avg again and see if that had something to do with it but I tried once...
