Restore

[Guest]

I have a few months worth of restore points but no matter which one I choose
they will not restore back. It goes through the proccess and then tells me my
comp could not be restored so try another date. None work. I have run an
antivirus program with latest virus definitions. Then tried restore, still no
joy. Any help would be appreciated Thankyou.

Here is one suggestion that worked for me. Delete the last restore and
continue deleting the last until it starts to work.

Delete 'em all and start over. After this, test System Restore
periodically.

??? How did you manage that? It's not possible to delete Restore Points
individually. You can delete them all or you can delete all but the last
one--those are your only choices.

To Oz: unfortunately Stystem Restore sometimes gets corrupted. When it does,
the only thing that will fix it is to stop System Restore, losing all
Restore Points, and then start it again.
