My system restore does not work - each time I try to use
this feature, a message tells me that it cannot restore
to a particular point. No point has worked in recent
memory. I contacted the manufacturer of my computer, and
the response is to reinstall. My problem: how to save
data that is not easily transferrable, in particular,
data from Outlook.
Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Hi

Probably no need to re-install. Manufacturer's will tell you this if they
don't the answer to your question!!

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 the info, however I tried turning restore on
and off and it still does not work. Do you know how to
save the outlook data? I may just have to reinstall, and
in anycase, I would like to back up.
Thanks
