SYSTEM RESTORE WON'T WORK!

[Robert E. Willis]

Hi all.....SYSTEM RESTORE won't work!.......it starts out restoring
according to the bar.....goes 3/4 of the way restoring.....then jumps to the
end quickly and then reboots......saying "incomplete" system can not be
restored!.....I've tried it in "safe mode"......different dates......etc.
Now what?......any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob

1) Please learn how to punctuate properly - sentences are concluded with
*one* full stop, not half-a-dozen.

2) Had you STFW you'd have found the answer - your system restore points
are corrupt. You will need to turn SR off, reboot and then turn it back on
again.

Bob;
There may be corrupted data in system Restore.
Turn off/on System Restore to delete corrupted files:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.
Click System Restore Settings on left side.
Check "Turn off System Restore", click OK, follow prompts and reboot.
This deletes ALL Restore Points including corruption.
Then go back and turn on system Restore and create a Restore Point.
