SYMPTOMS
After you perform System Restore in Windows Vista, you cannot install a Windows update, a hotfix, or a service pack. Additionally, you may receive the following error message:
80071A91 (ERROR_RM_NOT_ACTIVE)
Back to the topCAUSE
This problem occurs because, after the System Restore is performed, the Common Log File System (CLFS) transaction logs may be left in an inconsistent state. When the CLFS transaction logs are in an inconsistent state, you may experience the problems that are described in the Symptoms section.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, delete the .blf files and the .regtrans-ms files from the %Windir% System32 SMI Store Machine folder. To do this, follow these steps:
| 1. | Log on as an administrator. |
| 2. | Click Start , type cmd in the Start Search box, right-click cmd.exe in the Programs list, click Run as administrator, and then click Continue. |
| 3. | At the command prompt, type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command. cd /d %SystemRoot% System32 SMI Store Machine attrib -s -h * del *.blf del *.regtrans-ms |
| 4. | Restart the computer. |
After you restart the computer, the registry regenerates the deleted files. These regenerated files are in a consistent state.
