system restore problem

[Guest]

Hi I went to restore my system was able to pick a date it went through
everything and rebooted but said unsuccessful. Why. Also I just had xp
reinstalled on this computer a few days ago. All setting seem to be correct
for restore.

Hi

That error message would suggest that one or more of the System Restore
files have become corrupt. You can try turning SR off/on, although you will
lose all existing checkpoints:

Right click on My Computer and select Properties>System Restore. Enable
'Turn off System Restore on all drives' - then reboot your PC. Go back into
SR and disable 'Turn off...' and then reboot again. After the second reboot
you should have one new checkpoint and SR should work properly after that.

Hi and thanks but what if this is happening every few days where I cannot
restore? What would be causing it to happen and what can be done to prevent
it?

Hi

Have you virus checked your system to make sure it's clean? A virus can
infect that folder.

Yes I do one everyday and do have NIS 2006. It does come up with a warning
that says to remove a file and I do not have any other choice even tho I have
all set up to repair and quarantine.
