System Restore Points

WHY ask for trouble? Don't use it and save yourself all that grief. Common
sense.
I don't want it, so don't use it for valid reasons. Are you saying I
shouldn't talk
common sense? Beets don't equate to something that causes problems on a
computer.

That's an old saying, possibly before your time.
You may not want it, but obviously enough other people do or they wouldn't
still be in business.
My philosophy is if you don't want it, don't use it. Otherwise, it's
really none of your concern. Just because you don't like something doesn't
mean everyone else should also dislike it. I don't like beets, but if you
do, that's fine, and if you were a guest for dinner and wanted them, I'd
fix them for you.
Have a wonderful day!

Thank you. I had previously looked at that site but the only
download link was for the latest version. The link for the
previous version just gives me the list of improvements.

Tony

I'm so sorry. That link used to have a download button next to each
version. Don't know why (or when) it was changed.
Try this one:
http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/fr...008_000_en.exe
That should work.

That's great thank you. It's downloaded & installed.

Thanks for your help

Tony

Obviously, you missed the point. Never mind.

I'm sorry my use of ZAISS seems to have caused you such disquiet. As for
causing me grief; how? It has caused me a bit of inconvenience but has also
given me the chance to see, again, how kind some people are on this bb; so
on balance a good result.

BTW SCT you're a lot nicer than me; I wouldn't have served the beets

Hello

I haven't got any System restore Points. Whenever I try
to use System Restore the only System Restore Point is
one created as I open System Restore. This morning I
created three System restore points at hourly intervals
however when I looked, just now, they have all gone & I
have only one and that one created as I opened the
program. I'm running Win XP SP3 & have allocated 12% of
my hard disk (nearly 6GB) for System Restore. For quite
a while I had only been able to use System Restore to
restore in Safe Mode & now I can't even do that. Any
ideas please?

Presumably, you have a 50GB hard drive? If so, how much
free space is on there? (If there is more than one
partition on this drive, report the sizes and amount of
free space on each.) Also, note that certain programs interfere with
System
Restore (e.g., Zone Alarm and Norton). For more info:

http://bertk.mvps.org/html/srfail.html

Some people have reported success using System Restore in
Safe Mode *with Command Prompt*:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304449

Thank you. The hard disk is nearer 240GB and contains 6
partitions. I give below the sizes of each partition
followed by the used space & then the free space. As you
can see I've got lots of free space on each partition.
Partition 1 with OS 45GB used 21GB free 24GB 2
165 66 99
3 4 1 3
4 2 1 1
5 20 11 9
6 3 1 2

Unfortunately, the above table is very difficult to read!

It is interesting you mentioned Zone Alarm as I am using
Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite but this hasn't "lost"
restore point in the past

Ah ha!

Refer to SC Tom's post then. It sounds like you are running
the messed-up version.

In my opinion, Zone Alarm isn't even necessary; I wouldn't
run it.

What you "would do" is of no use to anyone.

HTH,

Twayne`

I have always had to run System Restore in Safe Mode but
then I had restore points to use; now I've lost those and
as I said in my original post even those restore points I
created today have vanished. I've made a note of the MS
article 304449. Tony

..

In my opinion, Zone Alarm isn't even necessary; I wouldn't
run it.

What you "would do" is of no use to anyone.

What YOU would do is far worse than 'is of no use to anyone'
It's destructive.

And how was it that you were trying to "show/teach them better ways and
things"? You had absolutely no suggestions for any kind of replacement for
Tony to run instead of ZA. In my first reply, I suggested MSE and Windows
Firewall as a viable alternative. Of course, you may not agree with that
combination either, but that's OK. What was your suggestion? Oh, wait, I
remember; "Why do you want that trash on your system?" Very good! That's a
lot of help!
I've seen a number of good posts and replies from you in the past, but on
this particular one, you came across like a couple of the to-remain-unnamed
idiots in the alt.windows7.general group. You may not like ZA or any of the
other 3rd party security suites for various reasons, and that's your opinion
and you're entitled to it. But I've been running Windows since 3.0 and ZA
since it first came out, and have had fewer problems with ZA than with
Windows. That doesn't mean I'm going to relegate Windows to the trash heap
any more than I would quit using other programs that I like. But if you're
going to make broad statements like "that trash," the least you could do is
offer a suggestion for an alternative or two.

I think you have totally misunderstood my posts. The OP had zone alarm and
it was causing trouble.
I was trying to steer him toward MSE and Windows firewall which I use.
The OP was more interested in getting ZA re-installed.
Please note, I have a method of teaching. I DO NOT just post answers, I
attempt to get posters to think.
Please reread the posts and point out my errors.

I never saw you list MSE or anything else as an option instead of using ZA.
All you said was ZA was trash, and continued to expound on that. In light of
your posts, I still ask how you were trying to "show/teach them better ways
and things"? Certainly not from anything I saw in your posts and replies to
this thread.
I never said you had any errors, just extreme prejudice against a product
you don't personally like. That's not an error, just your opinion, and you
are entitled to that.

Have you by chance noticed I never received a response from the original
poster? Just some criticism
from a responder that gets his kicks from criticizing others.
