Gas or no gas Steve's answer was correct. Norton does not stop system
restore points to be created . It only stops them from being
accessed. Read and understand the issue correctly before saying what
you said along with the other answers in this thread.

What difference does it make to most users? As most drivers doesn't care
if it is the fuel filter, pump, computer, or whatever of why their car
won't run. All they care about is it is broken and it doesn't work.

Now whether restore points are being created or not doesn't make any
difference if they can't be accessed, now does it? So what good is
running Norton's software? It is supposed to help the average user, NOT
SCREW UP THEIR COMPUTER! And Norton has this long history of creating
more problems than it is trying to fix. So this should be no surprise to
anybody at all. Especially for the well seasoned user.

And if you have problems with other answers I stated, let's hear them!
Let us get it in the open and quit hiding them. As that is an old
coward's trick! How childish!

Would the following web page,
http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html, be something worth looking
at in reference to Symantec and System Restore issues?

Bert's web page is a copy of the Symantec page that I cited. He gives
the Symantec URL at the top.

Hahaha, you are a gas Steve! You just started to use computers I see.
Well here is a tip, point your browser to http://www.google.com and
enter 'Norton System Restore problems' and see over 900,000 hits.

If you can find a site that documents how Norton prevents System
Restore from creating a restore point, please post a link to it. I'll
be happy to look at it.

P.S. I started using computers in 1968.

You should ask Peter Foldes, that is his claim. By the way, I started
with computers during the Apollo project and worked as an electronic
engineer.

What? You're the one who ridiculed me. Peter agreed with what I
said.

It's nice to meet another EE. My degrees are in EE and Computer
Science.
