System Restore doesn't work now...

[Stan]

Hi,

I bought my computer 2 months ago. I've used System
Restore several times before in the first month and it
worked.

Today I tried to use it and none of my 'restore points'
work (I've tried the last 15 restore points). I get a
simple message..."Restore Unsuccessful. Try another
Restore Point".

Can anybody help? Thanks.

Stan;
There is probably corrupted data in system Restore files.
Turn off/on System Restore to delete corrupted files:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.
Click System Restore Settings on left side.
Check "Turn off System Restore", click OK, follow prompts and reboot.
This deletes all Restore Points including corruption.
Then go back and turn on system Restore and create a Restore Point.
Otherwise:
