System restore not working

[David Black]

I am trying to restore my system to another date and no matter what date I
pick I get the error message that the system cannot be restored to that date.
I do not know what the problem is or how to correct it, so any help will be
appreciated.

The problem is that System Restore failed for some unknown reason. If you're
brave then you can perform a manual System Restore - see here:

similar) then you can simplify the process considerably. Post again if
interested.

If you are running anti-virus/malware software, particularly Norton, turn
it all off, and try, again. This is a known restore problem. Step-by-
step instructions can be found on the net. Just do a search.

See: http://bertk.mvps.org/index.html (use the drop-down menu).

That dropdown menu takes me to the same place. As I stated beofre no matter
what previous date I select system restore will not go back to that date.

If all else fails, try:

Okay. I said "particularly Norton." Running any other anti-virus
software? Turn it off. Then try to restore, again.

Did it work? If it didn't what EXACTLY, that is, exact wording, error
numbers, etc., is reported?

The drop-down menu on Bert Kinney's site takes you to the same place?
What are you talking about?

Is KB307545 equivalent to a System Restore?

I don't see how that will help since the last step says to perform a
system restore and that is the broken part.

Please post more details on how to simplify the process considerably.
