System Restore problem

[Natec]

I've tried restoring my HP laptop a few times with System Restore using
different checkpoints and the same error message comes up afterward.
______________

System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files
and settings were not changed.

Details:

An unspecified error occurred during System Restore.

You might want to try System Restore again and choose a different restore
point.
_______________

As I said, I've tried using a few different restore points but this just
comes up again afterward. I can't find anything addressing this problem; can
anyone help me?
Thanks.

I had the same problem Did the process with Norton internet security and now System Restore works OK

Try it in Safe mode.

Or from command prompt at boot if it still fails from the Safe Mode GUI. I
had a similar problem with SR too.. it was 3rd party software that caused
the restore failure.
