Can't set restore points.
I am unable to update the Win7 prof. The system tells me I can't make a
Restore Point which is the first step the install takes. How do I turn on Restore poin system? TIA Regards |

How do I turn on Restore poin system? TIA Regards Right click "Computer" / Click on upper left "System Protection" / click on the "System Protection" tab......the ability to turn on/off and create a restore point is there. Default setting is enabled by default for the OS drive and disabled for other drives. How much room you assign is also accessed through the "Configure" button. I usually give it way more than the default amount. Having multiple restore points on a larger complex system can save you a great deal of frustration at times. You also access settings through the Control Panel. |

Regards, Assuming you are doing this from a non-limited account, and you're not on a domain where you cannot change group policy objects, then what you need to do is access the group policy editor via the run command (gpedit.msc) and follow the directions below. Note that gpedit.msc will NOT be available in Windows 7 Home Premium or Basic. You require Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate to use this editor. For Basic and Home Premium flavors, you will need to edit the registry as described. Don't do this unless you know what you are doing and have backed up the registry first. http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/re...-group-policy/ |
