System Restore Does not Complete

[ken]

I run system restore with a valid checkpoint... i get a message that the
files are restoring....the system then restarts and I get a message "system
restore did not complete"
I had turned off my virus protection..
Don't know why.
Any help

If system restore does not work then you might need to reinstall XP if you
must get
back to a previous state. A better way to restore XP is to take a snapshot
of the
XP partition using DriveCopy. There is some initial time consuming overhead,
but
then subsequent restorations are simple.

Hi,

Here are some troubleshooting tips for System Restore in Windows XP.

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. This will help us in diagnosing the problem.
