What is the meaning of this and how can it be solved?

An unspecified error occurred during System restore 0x8000ffff.

The main cause of this problem is that some files are not replaced correctly during restore process it a file conflict occurs. But this problem can be solved if you restore the system as an administrator when you follow the steps listed below:

          

   – Step 1: Click Start, in the Search box, type: System Restore.

 

   – Step 2: Run System Restore as administrator.

 

   – Step 3: A system restore dialog will pop-up, click next and select a restore point.

           

   – Step 4: After this click next and when the confirm restore point window appears, click Finish.

 

   – Step 5: Done, this solves the problem.
