I bought a pc in January this year, with XP Pro SP2 (2002) and as of
April, all my restore points created by the computer, during software
installations or otherwise, have disappeared. I did install Norton
2007 "Internet Security" software then. This particuar Norton does
NOT come with the GoBack as some do - - I've been told having GoBack
will have an effect on the Windows system restore features. I am
concerned as to why my system restore is not functioning; when I
manually create a restore point, and check the control panel just
hours later to verify my restore point, it is gone. There is
NOTHING. No restore points available from when I bought the pc until
now. How do I fix this? Queries into this online show answers from
several years ago... such as disable the system restore/restart/re-
enable it, or check for online updates, which I did, and which the
computer does automatically at 3am, and quite often (after which I
should be seeing a system restore point available for those moments,
but do not). I have the XP Pro disk which came with the pc, but am
not sure what to do with it; the store I bought the pc from actually
said not to touch it. Any suggestions? I'd rather know my OS was
working properly before buying a copy of Norton Goback....
