[Guest]

i am running into a problem with my system restore. i have plenty of restore
points that i can go back to, but none of them work. i need to go back to
about two weeks ago and my restore will not let me. it will go through the
whole process and then when it is all done it says that system restore is
unsuccessful. i also made sure that my restore was on......is there any one
out there that can help me because i dont want my computer to crash....please

Hi Corey,

Here are some troubleshooting tips for System Restore in Windows XP.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in the right pane to
sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the two arrows in the
upper right corner. This will copy the event information to the clipboard. Paste the
information for each of the two event here. This will help us in diagnosing the problem.
