| 227917 | 2004-04-07 19:52:00 | Restore for me has never been 100% successful for me but it has saved my bacon on occassions. More often than not I would pick dates to go back to and all I would get is that "windows could not restore to that date" and then I would try again. I would definitly turn off restore and then start again. You might as well the current restore points dont work. If the computer is working ok now then try it in a couple of days. Make some insignificant changes then try and restore back to todays date. |

| 227919 | 2004-04-08 04:10:00 | hi ya, tried again today and its still not restoring back in time, so have made a new restore point myself and will give a day and try again tomorow otherwise its start from scratch. is there any likely hood of restore being faulty and if i blank it again - start from nothing i carry the fault forward and it happens again? i have never before had any probs with restore in the past. so this is a little frustrating, and confusing. beetle |

| 227920 | 2004-04-08 04:35:00 | Hi Beetle, maybe you should consider buying a program like Norton Ghost. Ive used it on numerous occasions and its been a life saver on more than a few of them. Just a suggestion but in my book it is money well spent. :-) B. |

| 227921 | 2004-04-08 05:16:00 | Even if you find that system restore works again tomorrow I think I would still recommend that you delete all your previous restore points . Right-click on My Computer, choose Properties>System Restore and put a tick in "Turn off system restore on all drives" . Close everything down, reboot then put the tick back in and create a new restore point . After a few days check to see if it works again . |
