Windows XP system restore

[loafer]

Anybody got any ideas why my system restore doesn`t seem to work, it creates restore points but when they are selected it goes through the motions, windows log off and back on again seems to load the selected files then says that the selected date restore point could not be loaded, it does this with both user defined restore points and system generated ones, i`ve checked and the system restore option is activated

try going back a few days rather than weeks/months

see if that is any better

System Restore problem

I am having the same problem, along with a simultaneous problem with Outlook Express in which I can receive messages but can not send. I hoped that System Restore would solve the Outlook Express problem.
How did you solve your System Restore problem?
Thanks.
