Unable to Restore to a Point in Time

[Kelly]

I'm having a problem with one of the user accounts on our
pc in that it does not log off or switch user. When you
click either one it just doesn't do anything. I thought
that doing a system restore would fix the problem but now
I'm unable to do it. I've tried 3 different times using 3
different restore points and it goes through the whole
thing and reboots. When I log into my account it says
that no changes were made and that it was unable to
restore the pc to that specific date. Any idea what's
causing this or anyway to fix it?

Hi

One or more of the System Restore files could have been corrupted - try
turning SR off/on - but I'm afraid that you will lose any existing
checkpoints:

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab.
Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives' and reboot your PC. After
that 1st reboot go back into SR and disable 'Turn off System Restore on all
drives' and reboot your PC again. After that 2nd reboot you should have one
new SR checkpoint.
