Hi,

What Symantec doesn't tell you in this document is that the only restore
points that will work are those created with the "Turn protection on for
my Symantec protect" unchecked and "Symantec Resource Protection" turned
off.

Restore points created with "Symantec Resource Protection" checked and
turned on, will display the message "Restoration Incomplete. Your
computer cannot be restored . . . "

To keep System Restore functioning correctly, disable the "Symantec
Resource Protection" feature until there a permanent fix is released.

Thank you! Following your advice worked. The key was turning off
Norton 2006 anti-virus and then restoring the system, and then
turning it back on. I did not see this suggested approach mentioned
in any of the other (numerous) posts on the same problem.

I wonder if there is a permanent fix to this so that Norton 2006
anti-virus needs to be turned off then on again?

Anyways, thank you very much. My apparent lack of abilitiy to
restore the system had been driving me nuts.

My computer creates system restore points for all the right reasons
(system checkpoints, and when I create them). However, I am unable
to restore to any of them. I always get the same message saying
that the restore could not be completed. What am I doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
