System Restore

[J Schmidt]

I can not get system restore to work Each time I try to use it, it tells me
the computer can not be restored to that particular date.

It saves dates and checkpoints fine. I have tried restoring in regular and
safe modes and neither are working.

If you have an HP or Compaq, you have to go into RESTORE OPTIONS and make
sure that the Virtual Drive that your RECOVERY PROGRAMS are on is NOT being
Monitored. This may be true with other brand computers that use a Virtual
Drive (partition) to hold the Comnputer's Recovery Programs on.

Hi

That error message would suggest that one or more of the System Restore
files have become corrupt. You can try turning SR off/on, although you will
lose all existing checkpoints:

Right click on My Computer and select Properties>System Restore. Enable
'Turn off System Restore on all drives' - then reboot your PC. Go back into
SR and disable 'Turn off...' and then reboot again. After the second reboot
you should have one new checkpoint and SR should work properly after that.
