HI Everbody
I am having a problem with System restore it has no restore points and it
will not make any new ones. I had this problem before it seem their is a
dupicate file being made maby for one of the service packs. I can not
remenber the name of the file I thing it's either a file with a .inf or a
..dll file. The file is in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 or
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem
the file has the same name does anybody know the name of this file or does
Microsoft have any teck updates on this problem
 
Hi,

There are several reasons automatic restore point may not be created.
Let's take a look at Event Viewer for any System Restore logs that may
have been created recently that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in
the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the
two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event
information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two
event here.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?

I am not familiar with the duplicate file issue you are referring to.
