System Restore Not Working

[David4321]

Hello

My system restore fails every time I attempt it. This has happened th
last 3 times I had a need to attempt restore. (Three attempts separate
by months in time, about different issues.) This time, I am thinkin
something may be wrong with my system restore function.

In this case, it is simply a matter of trying to roll back a browse
update.

I saw a whole list of available restore points, and I went to th
second one back - from only a few days ago. The restore failed.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, OEM from Gateway Laptop abou
1.5 yrs old. I allow most updates.

Any Suggestions? Thanks

Restore failed again

Here is my procedur

I checked services
Task Scheduler was running as automati
Windows Backup (System Restore Service is XP only) was running a
manual & I changed it to automati
'Where’s the System Restore service gone in my Vista Home Premiu
? « A Vista enthusiast blog' (http://tinyurl.com/nlxq5w

I cleared all restore points using system protection as you described

I used Backup & Restore Center to check restore points: there wer
none

I used Tuneup Utilities Disk Space Manager to double check restor
points: there were none

I created a restore point named test

Prompt said restore point successfully created

I created a folder on desktop named test. (this should be gone afte
restore

I used Backup & Restore Center to check restore points: point name
test is in display

I used Tuneup Utilities Disk Space Manager to double check restor
points: there were none

I started restore restore process cycled computer restarted

Restore failed. Test folder was still on desktop

I used Tuneup Utilities Disk Space Manager to double check restor
points: 79.35 MB

I am running NIS 2009 - could this cause problem
