Default "Create a Restore Point" - nada

Before backing up my computer, I like to create a new restore point. But
this morning, when typing into the search box "Create a restore point" or
when using the Control Panel/System/System Protection routes, clicking the
final link to get to System Resto nothing happens. I have tried both
warm and cold reboot, and run sfr /scannow, which found corrupt files "and
repaired them all". Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'm going to suppose that you tried restore after sfc command.

Do you have space? Crap Cleaner has a great tool to view all the restore points, it would show you if you had done
anything of course. I'm not sure what happens if you don't have enough space and you only have one restore point
would it delete that one and make the new one or if that is why you're failing, you only have one and it eats all the
space up. That or did something turn of system protection on all drives?

Sorry this is little help.

After running "sfc /scannow" did you shutdown and reboot to see if the
problem has been resolved?

Yes. And I have plenty of space, I only have two restore points saved at
the moment. Thanks for your input, though.

Go to System Properties, then System Protection.
OR
Just type restore in the Search box when you click on the Start
button.
If that doesn't do it, at least you didn't waste a lot of time trying.

Thanks, Buffalo,but I realize I might not have made myself exactly clear.
I *can* get into System Resore proper, if I needed to restore. What I
cannot get into is the page that lets you *create* a restore point.
Usually, I get there by typing "restore point" in the search box, and
clicking the link that says "Create a Restore Point"- but that link is
dead. I can also do it by going to Control Panel/System/System Protection
but that link is dead, also. That's my problem, as precisely as I can put
it.

Here is a suggestion that takes time to try but it might get you out of
your predicament.

First backup you existing restore point(s) to another location, possibly
even to another drive. Below is one way to accomplish this.

http://www.ghacks.net/2010/05/09/how...estore-points/

After using the above info to backup things turn OFF all the restore
points where you get to pick what drives are being monitored.

Reboot the PC

With luck any existing restore points are now gone.

Last turn back on the restore points for the drive(s) you want backed up
and see if it now works.

Thanks, JT. I tried several freeware programs to create Restore Points,
but Restore Point Creator seems to be the best one IMO, too.
Much obliged.
