155782	2003-06-28 05:37:00	I went to "System Restore" to restore to an earlier date but it appears System Restore is not working. I can not set a restore point and it appears my computer has not been setting restore points automatically. How can I fix this? Thanks Stevo	Stevo (3797)

155785	2003-06-28 06:15:00	Have you tried disabling system restore???? Right click on " my computer" > properties click on the performance tab > then click on the file system button > then click on the troubleshooting tab then just look for “disable system restore” Also have you run windows update???	stu140103 (137)

Once in DOS at the C prompt you need to type scanreg /restore ( space between the g and/ ) and then a screen will appear from which you can choose from 5 system restore points. (The 5 limit is set in your scanreg.ini file) So choose a system restore date before your problem arose and click ok. The computer will then restore and reboot to the date you choose.
