Firstly, forgive me but there is no third party app that I know of that
creates XP restore points. There are programes that make 'backups of your
system' to a previous point but that is different to 'restore points'
Vista is the only program to do its own System Restore.
I didn't ask about contents of history, I advised you this was available to
assist you.
I specifically asked for specific information, which is the first step to
investigate your system restore...The last result is in the task line for
your SR task. (0x11111) , im a developer for Vista Shell and that code will
give me some indication of your error.
However messing with Vista Registry after having it for 5 days does not help
your case.
If you wish assistance then reply to each point in my post

Okay, feeling a bit guilty for my ' unusual posts' I apologise...
Initially I would ask about Event viewer (system and application logs) if
nothing there, Lets start with Task Scheduler...
Task Scheduler Library
Microsoft
Windows
System Restore..
Maximise the screen..
At the top there should be the task and status should be queued, is this
there? If it is what is the 'Last Run Result' and anything in the 'next run
time' or last run time ?
Middle Screen / section should have a tab.. Triggers
By default it should show Daily and a time and 'At Start Up' are these
entries here ?
Failing this, as it is a Systemax pc, you may have to run their 'RESTORE to
FACTORY SETTINGS ' option, I do not know how they are doing this presently.
either a disk or hard drive restore partition.
