A service pack does not corrupt the system???? HA!!! Even Microsoft states
this is the case. A service pack is an update correct

It happens and it happens a lot. You are mis-informed or just being a spin
doctor. And besides ALL the restore points were gone even on a recovery
installation.

The blue screen was from the software that was uninstalled.
Not possible unless the removal was incomplete or interrupted, ie:
incomplete removal of a service or dependency. Otherwise, something that
no longer exists on a system cannot possibly cause a crash.
Now, that's funny. The service pack deletes all the restore points so
that you can't recover from the corruption of the service pack...LOL
You didn't fully read what I wrote. It deletes all but the most recent one
(which setup of the service pack actually creates prior to installing). It
does this because you cannot do a system restore to a point prior to its
installation as system file changes have taken place. If you were to try
to (and we did during the beta), you would wind up with an unusuable
system. The point it does create is used solely to restore the system to
the preinstall state should setup fail or the service pack be uninstalled
shortly after installing it. A service pack installation does not corrupt
a system. It may bring to light corruption that already exists, or fail
due to the presence of malware, incompatible software, or forced unsigned
drivers.

That is a very good design that has people reinstalling after
automatically installing SP1 which fails leaving no restore points...
BTW: They all were deleted and SP1 was the last thing I installed...

Also, have you run a drive diagnostic or addressed the blue screen
issues? It could be the result of faulty/damaged hardware making
reinstallation pointless.

A customer has been hit with the "Startup Repair" loop issue. The
Startup Repair cannot repair the problem and shuts dow the computer, no
restore points are available and "Last known good configuration" are
useless. The computer needed to be recovered from the recovery
partition. OK, fine...
After recovery and purposely setting several restore points manually I
thought I was finished with all updates and such so I set my final
restore point. I uninstalled an application that was not needed any
more and on the next reboot I got a BSOD. Startup Repair was the option
so it ran thru its paces and gave the message that it could not repair
the issue and so I attempted to do a system restore to the last restore
point I created before this happened. Vista reported again that I had
no restore points (I know I manually create 5 of them). So this time
"Last Known Configuration" did work. I went to chech the restore points
and sure enough ther were none.
Why did Vista delete my restore points???
