Restore Settings

[lorraine]

I have had XP installed on my computer since mid June.

Today I have noticed that only restore points from 21st
July 2003 are available. Why can I not got any further
back than this?

Thanks.

Lorraine;
Many things can cause loss of Restore Points, when they are gone, they
are gone and can not be recovered or used.
Some of the things are:
Available space on hard drive
Computer usage
Space you dedicate to System Restore

If you use Real Player, try doing without it for a few days:

And others.
