SP1 breaks System Restore?

I would urge you all to check and see if system restore is correctly
configured. I installed SP1 some weeks ago and have just discovered
that SR was set to monitor a C drive which was listed as missing.
Another C drive was listed as 'system' - this (correct) drive was not
set to monitor.

I may be wrong, but what's a few seconds to check eh?

I have experienced the same problem many times but it was always before
I installed SP1 and it was always caused by third party software. Deleting
the "missing" C drive and putting a check in the system C drive box will
correct the problem.
I'm not saying System Restore was not the causative factor in your
case. My problems were caused by Acronis True Image and my external drive
backup software.

My problems were caused by Acronis True Image

2/3 of my PCs were affected, Vista SP1 was the only common factor.
Only some had True Image installed. It's something I'll be keeping a
watch on.
