Having problems with System Restore
All works well until the system restore window comes up, then the progress
bar moves along to around 90% and stops
I have to turn my notebook off and restart
The system then tells me that the restore is not complete
Any ideas or suggestions for a fix would be appreciated
 
Hi,

Does the actual disk activity stop? The progress bar will sometimes appear
not to move, but it is only an approximation of what is going on. Often, if
left alone, the process will continue. I would not think it was a corruption
issue unless the process halts and gives a message about not being able to
restore to any given points.

Hi,

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. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's.

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