Help--sudden System Restore Problem

[MZB]

Help -- I went to System Restore to create a Restore Point, and it said it
was turned off. I have no idea why. It is not letting me turn it back on.

I get an error message that says:

System Restore encountered an error to enable/disable one or more drives.
Please restart your machine and try again.

I did, but same problem.

Any suggestions?

I am using a Dell Inspiron 2200 with XP HOME

Hi,

It sounds like some file(s) have become corrupt in the System Restore
utility.

I would suggest reinstalling System Restore:

That did it. Thank you so much. That was really bugging me!!!

Any idea what can cause this??

You're welcome Mel.

A power outage while the system is running, or incorrectly shutting down
the system are a couple of possibilities.
