Dell 2.53ghz, 512 ram, 60gb hd WinXP

I installed SP2 on Sept 17 with no problem. Today I wanted to restore back
to 9-29. There are many restore points listed.... no problem creating them.
But the system restore looked like it was working then just came up with a
message that it couldnt be done and no changes were made.

Should I dump all the saved restore points? How can I get it to work right?
Thanks
 
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.
 
Elmira, I have a Sony, 2.3, 1GB ram 160gb hd, and mine does the same thing.
I have gone through the same sequence as Will suggested, but mine still not
restore. It must be something we have to live with. We didn't have it
(Restore) with Win95 or 98, and still don't with XP.
