Can't restore to system restore points

[Guest]

My computer creates system restore points for all the right reasons (system
checkpoints, and when I create them). However, I am unable to restore to any
of them. I always get the same message saying that the restore could not be
completed. What am I doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you! Following your advice worked. The key was turning off Norton
2006 anti-virus and then restoring the system, and then turning it back on.
I did not see this suggested approach mentioned in any of the other
(numerous) posts on the same problem.

I wonder if there is a permanent fix to this so that Norton 2006 anti-virus
needs to be turned off then on again?

Anyways, thank you very much. My apparent lack of abilitiy to restore the
system had been driving me nuts.

Hi,

What Symantec doesn't tell you in this document is that the only restore
points that will work are those created with the "Turn protection on for
my Symantec protect" unchecked and "Symantec Resource Protection" turned
off.

Restore points created with "Symantec Resource Protection" checked and
turned on, will display the message "Restoration Incomplete. Your
computer cannot be restored . . . "

To keep System Restore functioning correctly, disable the "Symantec
Resource Protection" feature until there a permanent fix is released.

I also want to thank you. I too have Norton's 2006 System works. I unchecked
"Symantec Resource Protection". I than created my own restore point and was
able to successfully Restore to that point.
This is a big flaw in Norton's product and will go to another product when
subscrition ends.

Thanks

You're welcome Ralph.

I agree, this is a serious enough flaw to move to another application.
