That's the error message I get when I try to activate system restore.
It also says "To turn on System Restore, contact your Domain
administrator." I have a home network with 2 computers. There is no
designation of administrator of the domain, that I know of. I am the
administrator of my system. There is no "system restore" option tab
under computer properties. This all happened a few days ago, and
things were working fine until then. I really dislike not having the
system restore option. Can someone please tell me how to get it back?
