There is no dedicated newsgroup for System Restore. If you have a question
concerning SR, you might want to post it here in the windowsxp.general
newsgroup.

Meanwhile, you might want to check out this web site.

Thanks for your response
I have previously posted this question and received one response with some
helpful info but it didn't help solve the problem. The problem is, system
restore works normally in safe mode only, but not in regular mode. This
problem started only recently, and I suspect I inadvertently helped create
it. Am hoping someone else might have come accross this problem and found a
fix.

Is a Norton application installed?

Why haven't you replied to your original thread (System restore query, 20
Apr-08)?

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

Are you dual booting with another operating system?

 

[franktee]

Thanks for all replies
No Norton applications installed,
No dual booting with another OS.,
Not using 3rd party firewall.
Did not respond to original thread of April 20 thinking it was too far past
post to be noticed, since got only one response up till present time, Sorry.

Have you tried turning off system restore, then turning it back on?
This action will destroy all previous restore points, but you should be
able to set new ones after doing so.

However, the fact that system restore works in safe mode but not normal
mode makes me suspect that some program is interfering with its
operation in normal mode.

Hi Bill
Thanks for your response, yes have tried that, but to no avail.

Hi again
It seems that I have, in the meantime, hopefully, permanantly, solved this
problem by uninstalling Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1.2.
Thanks again to all for the helpful responses.
Have a good day.
