System Restore Points

[Rinaldo]

I have "C" drive being "Monitored". All other partitions are "Off". When I
go to System Restore there are NO restore points EXCEPT the ones I
manually made prior to installing software. Why are there no restore
points being made by System Restore ?? TIA.

Both links (yours and the previous post) were helpful, however, the only
possible problem I could find was my low setting on allocated space for
System Restore, so I increased the amount of space from 424mb to
628mb. Maybe this will solve the problem. If not, I will just continue
making manual restore points. Thanks for the responses.

Hi,

Upping the space that holds restore points may help. Having enough space to hold
a weeks worth of restore points is good.

There's a utility on the following page that will allow you to create a System
Restore Point, with no user intervention using a Scheduled Task.
