System Restore- help

[alice]

I'm trying to do a system restore (to get a 9-in1 card reader to work
again...it vanished from the system somehow) but after picking a day
and waiting, windows comes back and tells me it can't restore to that
day. Other than this hit and miss cat and mouse game, is there any way
to just get it to restore to the nearest day that it can...can windows
tell me in the first place what day works, or do I just keep guessing?

Hi

That error message would suggest that one or more of the System Restore
files have become corrupt. You can try turning SR off/on, although you will
lose all existing checkpoints:

Right click on My Computer and select Properties>System Restore. Enable
'Turn off System Restore on all drives' - then reboot your PC. Go back into
SR and disable 'Turn off...' and then reboot again. After the second reboot
you should have one new checkpoint and SR should work properly after that.

Were you using Windows drivers for the card reader or specific drivers for
it? If Windows, uninstall the card reader via Device Manager and reboot
your system to let windows re-detect it.
