Can't create System Restore point

[Stanley]

Hello everyone,

I just installed SP1 and all critical updates, and now
when I can not create a restore point. I am able to run
System restore, but when I select "Create a Restore
Point" and click next, I get the message that I can't
create a restore point and to reboot and run System
Restore again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Stanley

Hi Stanley, hope this info is of assistance:-

Right click [My Computer] [Properties] then click on System Restore
tab.
Put a check in the box for Disable Restore on all drives.
Click apply, then Reboot your PC.
After the system reboots, navigate to the System Restore tab and turn
it back on. Click apply.
Navigate to [System Tools] [Restore...] and choose [Create a Restore
Point]
Provide a name for the new restore point.
Try and restore the new point just created. It should work properly.
