My system restore will not work anymore. It goes through
all the actions and at the end I'm told that it could not
restore to the point and no changes were made.

I've tried many different restore points.

I'm trying to use it to correct other problems.

Thanks

hello.. :) try this first..

1) In folder options, show all hidden files, show system
files and show file extentions
2) Start windows explorer, go to c:\windows\inf
3) Locate sr.inf > right click > Install
4) Insert CD when prompted, if no CD, browse to I386 folder
5) Restart system when prompted
This will reinstall system restore and hopefully it will work again.
