What system restore?

[Merle]

The problem is: When I make a change to my system i.e. new driver, etc I
would like to create a system restore point just in case of a malfunction.
When I try to create a restore point I get this message on my Systems
Property Window under the tab system protection Automatic Restore Point
"Configuration is disabled by group policy" and "Restore Point creation
disabled by group policy." What kind of system protection is that? Is it
protecting my system from my protection? Yes I think so. Is there anyway
to change the group policy on windows Vista Premium since it is unavailable
in the premium version? Wow. This PC belongs to ME not Microsoft.

Thanks Brink, I'm going to try it and if it works I'll post it.

Well I edited the registry and had a shutdown problem, after restarting
again I tried to make a restore point and got the message "Access Denied
0x80070005"
There is still something preventing me from creating a restore point, but
what? Time to Punt

Well I tried system restore after I followed your directions and still get
the Access Denied 0x8007005 error. So I guess I will have to use a third
party backup. T
hanks for your help.
