My system protection is not working on Windows 7

[Elazar]

I am using the DELL vostro 1014 laptop and with 320 GB hard disk and 3 GB Ram. With the Windows7 operating system and the Intel core i3 processor. Actually it seems to me that my system protection is not working in the way it should be. In the beginning the system protection is turned off and no restore points are created. But as I try turn-on the system protection on a partition then it denies doing the same in fact gives me an error saying that “The file name directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. (0x8007007B) Close the property page and try again”. Please help me in this case and also let me know how to get rid of this issue.

Well if this is the case then I think there is certainly a problem in the operating system that you have installed. It happens if the Windows 7 that you have installed is not done correctly then it tends to give such errors. So try and do these uninstall the windows 7 and then install the fresh copy of the same. I hope that doing this will solve your issue.

It seems to me that I can help you to solve this problem, the thing here is that system restores helps us to get rid of this problem. Actually I was also facing the similar kind of problem a few days back and doing the system restore helped me to get back my system on track. I mean to say that you should also try the similar thing it will definitely help you.
