Alright...here I go.
I have some setting issues so I thought I'd just go back using system
Restore but
I just can't restore this Pc and everything seems to be fine on the settings
side. System Restore is on + C:\ Drive is ON to restore etc. I got the
maximum memory on as well. So I pick a point and try...so the system goes
down and Restart.I have to mention though that something is not right when
the system tries to load the settings...it goes way too fast. Then I always
get the "System Restore is incomplete" and pick another one...well then same
thing happen over and over. I don't know if I have a registry problem or
what. I just don't wanna re-install Windows again since it is not the first
time I get this problem. So now I am wondering if all this has to do with a
compatibility issue.

Specs are:
E6600 running on Asus P5B WFI, 1.5 GB 533MHZ Ram, 80 GB And 160GB back up
drive using an ATI 800 PRO PCI-E c card.

Please someone help....I am so tired
Thanks for reading
 
The majority of the time this is caused by a corrupt restore point. Turning
System Restore off then on again will purges all existing restore points,
and creates one new one.

Try running System Restore from Safe Mode.
Restart your computer, and then press F8 during the initial startup to start
your computer in Safe Mode.

Log on to your computer with an administrator account or with an account
that has administrator credentials.
In Safe Mode type or paste the following command in the Start - Run box then
press Enter.

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

There are also other possibilities that can cause this to happen. The
following pages have some troubleshooting steps to take.
