System Restore Point Can Not Be Created

[Guest]

I am trying to install a buggy piece of software that our mechanics need for
vehicle diagnosis. Before I install, I want to create a system restore
poinjt but every time I try to create one it says "system restore point could
not be created. Please restart your system and try running system restore
agin. Same result every time...

Any ideas?

Hi

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.

I have started and stopped the service and I have reinstalled sr.inf and I
still get the same results. I am not worried about previous restor points as
it does not appear to have any.
