System Restore:"no restore points available"

[Phil C.]

I just did a sfc/scannow to check my system integrity after
uninstalling a program. In my event viewer, I noticed the following:
The System Restore filter encountered the unexpected error '0xC0000056'
while processing the file 'oembios.bin.new' on the volume 'HarddiskVolume1'.
It has stopped monitoring the volume.
Checking the "System Restore" Tab of System Properties shows that my hard
drive volumes are being monitored.
When I run system restore, and go to do a restore,
I get the message: "There are currently no restore points available" and I
cannot select any dates from
the calendar, nor go back a month. I know I've installed lots of software
periodically, so there should be plently
of restore points.
Does anyone have an idea about this???

A google search on the
system restore filter error shows:

if u have not on the restore setting date in CONTROL
PANEL/SYSTEM/SYSTEM RESTORE where u can find the radio
button to let the computer remeber the date for system
restore point. If u never on that button, u will not have
restor point on ur calendar..

Hope u can manage to find it. or may be u need more expert
advise!

.
Try shutting system restore off and rebooting.Then turn

S/R back on and reboot a second time.This should create a
auto check point,try it to see if it works.If it does not
then go here.

Map,

I did as you suggested and did get a system restore point.
I'll have to install some programs or leave the computer running for more
than a day to see if the automatic/program install restore points kick in
properly.
I guess/suppose that the original error in my event viewer may not be fixed
until Sp2, and I hope it does not reoccur and purge my restore points.
