System Restore incomplete
I've been hit with adware and spyware. I've been attempting a System
Restore, but each time I try, after rebooting, the System Restore is "Incomplete." I'm not given a reason, so I don't have any idea what could be interfering (besides, obviously, the adware crud). This happens regardless of the date I set, i.e. 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months back. |

System Restore incomplete
Hi
That would suggest that one or more of the System Restore files have become corrupt. You can try turning SR off/on, although you will lose all existing checkpoints: Right click on My Computer and select PropertiesSystem Restore. Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' - then reboot your PC. Go back into SR and disable 'Turn off...' and then reboot again. After the second reboot you should have one new checkpoint and SR should work properly after that. -- Will Denny MS MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "Syllanus" wrote in message ...
