I have discovered that my XP home program refuses to restore to an earlier time even though I have allocated maximum disk space for this feature. I had to run a system restore using the disks that i got when I bought the machine. All went well but a week later I tried to send the computer back to a couple of days after system restore..or any date and it simply doesn't do it. The message I recieve is that it can't be restored..try another date. That doesn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. Marsvin
