Two days ago when I was trying to create a Restore Point manually, my windows 7 PC welcomed me with the following error message.
“Transaction support within the specified file system resource manager is not started or was shutdown due to an error. (0x80071A91)â€
Since my pc is always used to be in top condition the error was very much unexpected to me,. I tried to search “Microsoft help†but what I got is this “http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927748/en-usâ€. Microsoft help wasn’t really helpful.
After doing some research and a little bit of Googling I finally found the solution. Actually the “fsutil.exe†tool has an additional argument “resourceâ€, which evidently controls FSRM {file system resource manager} behavior. So resetting the FSRM actually solved the Problem.
So if u see the Error (0x80071A91) on your vista or windows 7 PC then follow the following steps: =
- Click the ‘Start Button’ on your Desktop.
- Type “cmd†in the search field and open command prompt in Administrator mode {Right Click and select “Run as administratorâ€}. It you still have UAC enabled, it will ask you for permissions, click “OKâ€.
- Type “fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\â€Â {assuming that you have your OS on drive C }
- Reboot your computer.
If you follow these steps your problem will be solved.

In the explanation of this error number, it sounds like there been a conflicting memory issue of some sort.
Good it could be found Nirab
