What can cause a System Restore not to work?

[PRNole]

I have been trying to find some Restore point that works but am
finding that none of them do. I have at least 1 1/2 months of Restore
points available and have not been able to find one that will work. So
I'm stuck. Any reason why this is happening? I have previously been
able to Restore w/o problems but had not done so in several months, so
I'm not sure why this is happening now.

Maybe something here:

Certain security programs interfere with System Restore. Have you
installed any recently?

Well, I followed that link and suspect that the part about the
updating Real Player may have done the trick. It now works fine!
Thanks for the tips!
