Default System restore

I am unable to restore to a prior date. I've tried to repair system restore
using the install disc but no joy. The message given..."Your computer cannot
be restored to (the date). No changes have been made to your computer." I'm
using XP SP2.
Thanks in advance, Susie

Default System restore

Thanks for your reply, Peter.
What I found that helped came from another source.
"The error message 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. 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 that".
Thanks for your help...Susie

I turned System Restore off (lost checkpoints) then turned it back on. It
will not restore new checkpoints.l
