Hi

I have an EMachine 190 - I have tried system restore but I can only access
the current months calendar, although I know that I created restore points
last month.

Any suggestions?

By default, system restore creates a new restore point each day or, whenever
programs are installed, hotfixes are installed, or anytime there is a system
change is made. Also, by default, 12% of the hard drive space is allocated
to system restore. Each time a new restore point is created, the oldest one
is "bumped off".

To go back 30 days would, obviously, mean you have to have at least 30
restore points. That is a lot of disk space. Your other points have probably
been bumped off.
