System Restore
I am having problems using the system restore in XP Home Edition. I have
tried to test the restore feature using a test restore point. When I attempt to restore the computer to that point, it will not do so. I will get the message that the system could not be reset to the restore point and no changes have been made. I would really appreciate it if someone could please help me. Thank you. |

System Restore
Hi,
There are several reasons this may occur. Let's take a look at Event Viewer for any System Restore logs that may have been created recently that may help us diagnosing the problem. Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter. Click on System in the left pane. Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice". Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two event here. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's. How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs? http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#EventViewer Here are some more links for troubleshooting System Restore.

System Restore
You don't have any restore points for your computer to restore to. Use any
antispyware you have and scan your system, do the same with your antivirus, use Norton's utilities to to fix any problems you might have, make sure you have at least 12% free hard disk space of your total hard disk size, optimize by defraging your hard disk. This is a cleaning up process of your hard disk. Unless you have a virus or corrupt XP files this should take care of your restore problems. Give your computer a little time to establish a restore point, then try to restore it. "secforce" wrote in message ... I am having problems using the system restore in XP Home Edition.
