Considerations When
Running a Motion
Application in Windows
Operating System
The System Restore feature of the Windows operating system can affect
SoftLogix motion applications. The need to use System Restore can occur
because other applications running in Windows can impact the time available to
run motion. When System Restore is enabled, random motion retries occur,
which can result in irregular motion or motion glitches.
The System Restore feature provides a way to restore the system to a previously
known state that would otherwise require you to reinstall an application or even
the entire operating system. Setup applications that are compatible with the
Windows XP operating system, and later, integrate with System Restore to create
a restore point before an installation begins. By default, the feature creates a
restore point every 24 hours while the system is up. It does this by creating a
restore point directory, then snapshotting a set of critical system files, including
parts of the registry. System Restore tracks changes to files and directories, and
saves copies of files that are being changed or deleted in a restore point change
log. Restore point data is maintained on a per-volume basis.
