Default

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?

When "group policy" is envolved, think "gpedit".
Start - Run - "gpedit.msc"

There's a lot of settings that may affect System Restore, but I'd look
he

Local Computer Policy - Administrative Templates - System Restore -
Turn off System Restore.

HTH,
John

Make that:
Local Computer Policy - Administrative Templates -
System - System Restore - Turn off System Restore
