System restore wont restore
Hello:
As of last night ,I keep getting the following when I run System Resto "Restoration Incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored " There seems to be no problem creating restore points. The restore operation seems to run rather quickly. But then the system fails to do the restoration to the desired point. And I get the red X with the message above I'v'e tried flushing the restore points, to no avail. My system restore has been running flawlessly for years. How might I fix this? Thanks -eli Windows XP Professional Edition SP 3 Zone Alarm security Suite 9.1.008.000 Firefox 3.6 IE 7.0

The problem you are describing is an exact description cause by most Norton "security" softwares (Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security and 360.) Norton includes a module that protect their own software from "tampering."

System restore wont restore
Thanks:
Yes. I have verified that the Zone Alarm Security Suite 9.1.008.000 is responsible for this SR malfunction. After completely removing it, SR worked just fine. Same when I downgraded to an older version of Zone Alarm Security Suite. Yes. Even in the most recent version of Zone Alarm Security Suite , the Version 9.1, SR did work in Safe Mode Question: Is this a problem with many security suites? Or is it limited to the few mentioned in that earlier post? Such as Norton, and possibly Zone Alarm? Is it worth switching to a different security system, or is this lieley to continue to be an issue in most other security suites if it was a problem in Zone Alarm? Zone Alarm Tech Support says they've only had a few reports of this SR issue in their newest security system.

System restore wont restore
Most 3rd party firewalls and AV/AS software will affect SR. I also run ZASS, so if you do the restore from safe mode with command prompt, you don't have to uninstall ZASS first. From first hand experience, any AV/AS software should be shut down/disabled before running System Restore. Much easier just to boot into SM w/CP and do it from there. -- SC Tom "eli" wrote in message ... Thanks: Yes.

Tom: Could you please give an example of the command line entry? I'd like to restore one of my computers but can't find the correct command.
