Hi Claymore,
Many, many thanks for your help.
I followed your suggestions and tried out the restore and it works.
Again, thanks a bunch.
Bill
I've used system restore before with success.
Now when I try to do a system restore, it goes through the process but
then
says it was not able to restore to date selected try another date.
No matter how far back I go I get same result, restore unsuccessful.
Any ideas?
Bill
Hello Bill,
Looks like one or more of your Restore Points has become corrupted.
Since they are all "chained together" if one is bad, none will work.
Your only option is to delete them all and start over, like this:
System Restore - delete all Restore Points
Right-click on My Computer and click on 'Properties'
Click on the 'System Restore' tab to open the System Restore
configuration window.
Check the box 'Turn off System Restore on all drives'.
Restart the computer. This will delete all previous Restore Points.
If you want to re-enable System Restore, go back to the System Restore
configuration window.
Uncheck the box 'Turn off System Restore on all drives'.
Exit the configuration window and open System Restore.
Create a Restore Point
As a check, you can restart the computer to see if the single Restore
Point will Restore.
If you do, and it does restore successfully, but you want to revert to
the original state, restart System Restore and select to Undo the last
Restore Point.
