I have tried to use System Restore to restore XP an
earlier date and it will not do it. I have a conflict
with some software I installed and uninstalled it but
still have the conflict and want to go back before I
installed the software. But System Restore will not let
me. It only gives me the present date to restore to. I
want to go back several weeks. I had done it before
several months ago and it worked. I checked the
knowledge base and did everything it said and the System
Restore is enabled. I do "create restore date" and it
will not work. ONly the present date of today comes up.
I also check restore and it will not work. Appreciate
any help on this.

For starters, ensure that the System Restore Service is set to "Automatic".
Start>Run, then type in "services.msc", click "OK" and scroll down to System
Restore Service. If it's not running , there's your solution. Set it to
"Automatic" and reboot.

If that's not a problem one of your hard drives may be nearly full - if
there is not a certain amount of space available on either drive, System
Restore does not work and all your earlier restore points are deleted.

and my hard drive is 3/4 empty so that is not it either.
Any other suggestions?
