System restore fails
For the past couple of months system restore has been failing. I get the
helpful message that my 'computer cannot be restored' to the selected time. There are some 10 restore points available and none seem to work. I have Win XP Pro sp3 fully updated. I have attempted a clean boot but always encounter the error 'access denied' when trying to disable or enable services. |

Retry a restoration from a System Restore point from the POV of booting from Safe Mode. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

Thanks but safe mode does not help. Ok. Thanx for the update. The reason why Cash asked about Norton is there have been reported problems using System Restore with Norton installed. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
