system restore

[Guest]

Before install service pack 2 for Windows XP Pro. I use to be able to use a
restore point on my PC and use it. Now I sellect a restore point and when the
system is done it saids that it can't use that restore point. Thus no point
is restore. Can anyone help?

See if this link gives you the answer:

The inability to restore is not something caused by the
Windows XP SP2 update so far as I am aware.

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.
