Default System Restore Not Working


I started experiencing problems with my desktop (Vista OS) shortly after
installing the latest set of updates 2 weeks ago. My system now crashes at
least once every two days, my cordless mouse operations are now erratic, and
clicking on a highlighted task often goes un-noticed.

I've tried system restore, using several restore points, but after going
through the 15 minute wait, I get the following message on the screen;
"...System retore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system
files and settings were not changed. Details: An unspecified error occurred
during System Restore. .." . I've tried restoring with and without my
anti-virus active, but to no avail.

Can anyone help? I never experienced these problems with my old PC running
XP. This new OS is a real pain.

the restore point is corrupt...

you can try restoring back to another time.. but have in mind this:

restore points work like a chain.. in other words if one is bad, more are
likly to be bad...

But you may get lucky and a previous one might work.

they did this to conserve space.. and because system restore is not a true
backup
