How to get System Restore working again AFTER uninstalling Defende

[Guest]

I uninstalled Defender and then my system restore STOPPED making restore
points.

I was refered to this article..
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/plan/faqsrwxp.mspx

Apparently, in my case, Task Scheduler had been turned off..perhaps by
Defender,
and it is required for Sytem Restore to make and schedule restore points.

If you don't know how to make sure Task Scheduler is on, open your system
configuration utility (You can do this by clicking on "RUN" in your start
menu and typing "MSCONFIG".
Then click on the tab that says "SERVICES".
Scoll down and make sure TASK SCEDULER is checked.
Hit apply and restart computer. System Restore should be OK after that.

Hope this helps. It solved my problem after uninstalling that beta Defender
disaster.
Thanks to all who helped me out...

Good news! And even better that the answer turned out to be a
straightforward one. Thanks for passing on the solution.
