System restore failure ?

[Mark]

Hi

Probs with my comp yesterday, so decided to do a system restore. The problem
is all the restore points i tried to go back to come up with the message "
It was not possible to restore your system to this date please try another
point"

I've also tried doing system restore logged in as an adminstrator and safe
mode but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark,

Probably your system restore points are corrupt. You have to turn SR
off and then on to flush the corrupt data.
