[pchelpers] Re: Windows Vista SP1 Restore Points Disappearing

Hi Trudy,
System Restore was deleting my restore points because there was an error 
in the way my disk space was being reported. System Restore was being 
told that I was out of free disk space so it was deleting restore points 
to free some space up. I did run scans on my system and they came up empty.
