system restore

[John]

When I go to System Restore the status information at the bottom of the page
says: [C:] turned off. How can I turn it back on that Sys. Restore will work
again?

When I go to System restore it shows it is turned off. I uncheck the turned
off selection and the status information at the bottom of the window shows
[C:] turned off . It should show monitoring. I close the window and and
reopen System restore and it again shows that it is turned off. How can I
change this so Status will show monitoring rather than turned off.

Did you select the "Apply" button ? If you don't select this action, the
changes will not take place until after you close the window. Sometimes, I
have had to logoff to get the changes to be effective.

Yes I clicked on Apply and get the following message:"System Restore
encountered an error trying to enable/disable one or more drives. Please
restart your machine and try again." Tried again and got same error message.
On the bottom right of the System Restore window Status indicates [C:] Turned
off. On my laptop that System Restore works ok Status indicates [C:]
Monitoring. The problem seems to be that somehow the hard drive isn't
enabled. Also games won't install. Cd drive reads data disks and plays music
so I don't think the problem is with the Cd drive and the games not

You have multiple problems... You need to check for malware using MBAM,
SuperAntiSpyware, and an AV program such as AVG(free) or NOD32(not free).
Unexplained behaviour is sometimes the result of an infection.
