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.

Thanks for your help, This did work, but I did lose my checkpoints using
this solution.

Hi

Turning SR off/on does delete all checkpoints, but without doing that SR
won't function. The same applies if SR has to be reinstalled - all existing
checkpoints will be deleted.
