System Restore
Hi
Waht is the error message that you seeing? One or more of the System Restore files could have been corrupted - try turning SR off/on - but I'm afraid that you will lose any existing checkpoints: Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab. Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After that 1st reboot go back into SR and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC again. After that 2nd reboot you should have one new SR checkpoint. -- Will Denny MS-MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "Kevin" wrote in message ...

The kindest thing you can say about System Restore is it is 'flaky' and totally unreliable. You will likely need to to uninstall System Restore reboot and reactivate it. By doing so you will lose all Restore Points; not helpful if you have a problem! I strongly suggest you use ERUNT to backup your Registry. ERUNT is totally reliable. Good luck. |
