System Restore not working [JSF]

When I run the system restore and choose a restore point, the system starts
the restore; and then after the reboot, I get the message that the restore
did not complete, no changes were made.

How can I resolve this? Any help is greatly appreciated

Make sure that prior to running system restore that your AV software isn't
also running, if you have Norton it's also recommended that you turn off the
protection for the Norton product too. I had the same problem & doing this
rectified it.

It means the restore data is corrupt so you may as well delete it and create
a new restore point. If you need to restore, you must select an earlier
restore point.(Find one that works)

Bad info. Corruption is just one of many reasons for System Restore errors.
Deleting restore points is the last thing that should be done.

Joseph

What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements? What firewall
are you using?

Is System Restore monitoring more thane partition / drive. It should
only be monitoring your Windows partition.

If that's the case shut down all virus programs, use Windows firewall only
and retry.

With some AVs (eg Kaspersky) shutting it down still won't allow System
Restore to operate - you have to specifically disable the self defence
mechanisim

Precisely why I do not use any of that trash.

Which is trash? System Restore or the security software? Why are some
security software providers incapable of providing software that does
not interfere with the proper running of the operating system?

Security software is the trash. Some security software providers are
incapable of providing software that does not interfere
with the proper running of the operating system simply because they cannot
test their software to the thousands of variations
in configurations.
System restore is great and one of the best ideas MS has come out with.

Thanks for clarifying what you meant.

The Microsoft software is fragile and many have difficulty getting to
work as it should. Microsoft should have dealt with the removable drive
issue long ago.
They could also have taken steps to stop security software from
interfering. I suspect they have made no changes to System Restore since
the early days of XP.

Microsoft software is really not fragile. What makes it difficult getting it
to work properly is all the trash people
download thinking they need the trash. Virus programs for example. If you
don't click on unknown URL's or all
those 'click here' enticements you won't get viruses. I've never gotten one.
What do you mean 'removable drive issue'?
As far as security software interfering, they have to be extremely careful
so as not to be accused of being a monopoly.
How can they prevent someone such as NORTON installing their programs on a
Microsoft operating system?

Restore points are broken if they are created when a removable drive was
being monitored and it is subsequently removed.

They are a monopoly. They totally dominate the market for computer
operating system. Do you think they are not in a monopoly situation?

I was not suggesting they should stop third party security software
being installed. They ought to be able to prevent that software from
preventing System Restore from restoring the Registry to an earlier
version of the Registry.

Have you any idea what it would cost them? (Your last sentence).
They cannot help being a monopoly. They're good. You can always go to Apple
or Linux.
They get in trouble only when they try to protect their software such as
what your last sentence suggests.
