an previous day. When I open Sys.Restore, this is the
message i get:
*****************
There are no restore points created yet for this day. To
restore immediately, pick another day and restore point,
and then try again.

Hi,

What happens when you select previous restore point?

Did you try doing what it said?
Choose a date in the calendar with the number in bold type.

Hi,

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. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?

Thanks Bert. I will try the other links you suggested.

Hi Mikee,

I suspect the MSHWLog.txt file is located on a drive/partition other
than the one Windows is installed on.
I would suggest setting System Restore to stop monitoring all
drives/partitions other than the one Windows is installed on. Then keep
in eye on System Restore to make sure it's creating restore points each
day.
