Hi, it seems I'm having a little trouble with compatibility with my Norton 2011 and my systems restore system. Firstly, I find it rather difficult to do a successful system restore without the very same error coming up and a code (0xc0000022). I've been told that it's to do with Norton's "tamper protection" blocking it. I've looked but can't seem to find the device on 2011. Can someone tell me where it is on 2011?
Also, I believe Norton 2011 deletes my restore points. It especially does this if I make a full scan of the computer. This didn't happen with 360. Anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Chips25,
As Phil_D mentioned, System Restore can break some programs, and unless the restore point is very recent, it will almost certainly cause problems for Norton. You may need to uninstall and reinstall Norton if you experience any issues after the restore operation.
Pitch system restore and buy a good hard drive imaging program. Set it to automatically backup your OS partition at least once a week. Make sure you create a bootable recovery CD so you can do an image restore if your PC will not boot for any reason.
If you every have a hard drive crash, your system gets infected with a nasty rootkit, or you install software that totally hoses your system, all you have to do is select the boot from CD/DVD option in your BIOS startup display, pop in your recovery CD, and restore your system back to the way it was at the last time you did your image backup.
Once you get the hang of imaging, disable system restore. Your will save tons on hard drive space and prevent the installation of many nasty malware that loves to hid in the restore archives.
Symantec sells Ghost. I personally use Paragon products that I have been very satisfied with. There are dozens of vendors to chose from. Do your reasearch and pick a product matched to your level of PC expertise.
Thanks Phil, I'll have a go at that. The reason for the restore is 'cause of a lock-up on turning off my computer. It tends to do that on rare occasions, like when my Vista compatible movie making program acts up. It works with Win 7 but it's not quite 100% happy with it, so sometimes it causes troubles when closing down the computer, as if the program's still partially running in the background. Hence I do a systems restore upon reboot. I try my best to make the restore to just before the lock-up. The only restore point I have left now is about three days ago.
Hello Chips 25
Perhaps it would be better to get a movie making program which is compatible with win 7 rather than to keep using system restore every time you use the program. That seems to tell me that the program is not compatible with win 7 and it would be much easier on your computer not to use that program. Unfortunately, some programs do need to be replaced when you change operating systems. Thanks.
