572885	2007-07-26 01:18:00	I've been playing around with System Restore (running XP Pro w/ SP2), and I have noticed that only 1 restore point appears, no matter how many I make. Tons of HD space, and using max available. Can't find anywhere to allow multiple restore points.Anyone point me in the right direction?	DaveMac (2886)
572886	2007-07-26 01:28:00	IMHO..turn System Restore OFF!	SurferJoe46 (51)
572887	2007-07-26 05:05:00	Dave have got 2006 Norton Anti Virus on your computer? tedheath	tedheath (537)
572888	2007-07-26 21:20:00	No, using AVG free version.	DaveMac (2886)
572889	2007-07-26 21:21:00	Have found it invaluable in the past, as I try out a lot of programs!	DaveMac (2886)
572890	2007-07-26 21:27:00	Thats what add/remove programs is for. Uninstalling programs. You dont use system restore for uninstalling programs.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
572891	2007-07-26 21:37:00	System restore is useful for when things go wrong. Some people choose not to use it, however I certainly would never advise people to disable it. RE: your situation, I have run into a similar problem myself, which I believe was caused by a virus infection. I never managed to fix it, so I can't be of much help sorry.	somebody (208)
572892	2007-07-26 21:49:00	System restore is useful for when things go wrong. however I certainly would never advise people to disable it. I would. If "things" go wrong, then you boot into safe mode and uninstall them. Or repair corrupted systme files .	pctek (84)
572893	2007-07-26 22:34:00	Obviously. But it does get the computer working again after a program crash.	DaveMac (2886)
572894	2007-07-26 22:37:00	Well uninstall the program then. If it crashes. Its just taking up hdd space. I dont see what a crashing program has to do with using system restore. Unless its XP that's crashing.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
