My System Restore does not work

[Guest]

My System Restore does not work. I have 7 restore points in the history, but
none of them work. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks. Elmo helped with my earlier CD driver problems.

Are you using Norton or Zone Alarm? If not what comparable programmes
are you using?

Hi Bobby,

Let's see if System Restore will function in Safe Mode.

Boot into Safe Mode and perform a test restore using the following link.
