Solved: Restore Computer

[WanneJ3150]

There is a program called tech-in-a-box but it does not work any more for some odd reason. An error message pops up saying
runtime error
'-2147221231' (80040111)
Automation error
classfactory cannot supply requseted class

If anybody knows how to fix that problem it would be great! If I could get it working I can resore my computer which I was planning on doing until I got stuck.

What type of system are you using?

 

[WanneJ3150]

windows xp

Why do you need tech in a box to restore XP, XP has resotre point in

Control Panel - System - restore points

I suspect you have some problems, would you care to explain why you are at this point

 

[WanneJ3150]

I mean I want to wipe out my computer and start fresh again like when you buy a brand new computer and you turn it on for the first time and xp does it's little intro thing

Why are you wiping

Boot from the XP cd

 

[WanneJ3150]

The cd with xp runs off a partition but tech in a box creates that partition. On the cds the company (systemax) gave me it says run system recovery and backup on tech in a box. The catch is tech in a box doesn't work.
This is the error message

runtime error
'-2147221231' (80040111)
Automation error
classfactory cannot supply requseted class

Before when tech in a box worked it worked before so if I can just get Tech-In-A-Freakin-Box working I think I might be ok. laugh

 

[I Fix 4 U]

Most pc's these days like Dell, hp and emachines have a restore partition and restore software, seems like systemax is being cheap and not using better restore software.

Well that's his case tho, restore is builtin to the computer.

is there anything i can do about it?

And if anybody knows what this means tell me so I could maybe fix it or somebody else on this site could
