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?
