System Restore Problem

Recently System Restore is making and retaining only one Restore Point, i.e.
FIFO. The space allocated to SR on all drives is the default (12%) and the
actual space available on each drive/partition exceeds 1.84GB.

Examining the 'Event Viewer' I get the message "The System Restore service
has been suspended because there is not enough disk space available on the
drive \\?\Volume {92c3ffeb-)d3d-11d9-9650-806d6172696f}\. System Restore
will automatically resume service once at least 200 MB of free space is
available on the system drive." If the 'system drive' is the drive on which
WINXP is loaded i.e. C drive, there is over 10GB free on that drive.

I have already unenabled and re-enabled System Restore as well as reloading
the utility (restore SR.inf) without success. I have scanned the system for
viruses (NOD32 and KAV) and for malware (Ad-Aware, Spybot, CWS Shredder and
Panda on-line scanner) without solving the problem.

Needless to say I am mystified and will be grateful for some guidance on how
to proceed to get System Restore to retain more than the last Restore Point.
 
Hi

Sorry 4 the Qs!

What is the System Restore Service set to? It should be 'Automatic'. Is
the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service running? Again that Service should
be set to 'Automatic'? Also the Task Scheduler Service - again should be
set to 'Automatic'.
