Restore Point Hangs

[Guest]

I am trying to install some windows updates and have found that it fails
because it can not create a restore point - I found this by trying to create
a restore point manually. I have absoloutly no idea what to do and so far
have not found anything on the web to help me.

I can run the restore Wizard and start the process to create the restore
point but then it just hangs and there is no sign of any hard disk activity.

Am running XP Pro which has SP2 installed

Any help is really appreciated.

Hi

One or more of the System Restore files could have been corrupted - try
turning SR off/on - but I'm afraid that you will lose any existing
checkpoints:

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab.
Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After
that 1st reboot go back into SR and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all
drives' and reboot your PC again. After that 2nd reboot you should have one
new SR checkpoint.
