Lost Restore Points

[Guest]

Hi
Somehow all my restore points have gone. I think an XP update or registry
mechanic has wiped them.
Is there any way to get them back. I have tried registry mechanic restore
but has not worked.

Hi

Once System Restore checkpoints have disappeared - for whatever reason -
they are not retrievable. You will have to wait until new ones are created
by the Windows system, or you can manually create one yourself.

Hi Wayne,

There are several reasons this may occur. Let's take a look at Event Viewer for any System
Restore logs that may have been created recently that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in the right pane to
sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the two arrows in the
upper right corner. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the
information for each of the two event here.
