Hi Clady,
I read somewhere that the restore points will fail if you do not have 200MB
free on the drive you are creating the restore points on.

Description of the System Restore Utility in Windows Millennium Edition 

Quote;
The Data Store
The size of the Data Store is determined by the size of the Windows drive
and is as follows:

The minimum size of the Data Store is 200 megabytes (MB). If your Windows
drive has fewer than 200 MB of free space after you install Windows
Millennium, System Restore is disabled by default and you will have to
manually enable System Restore after you have freed up sufficient disk
space. If System Restore is disabled due to the low disk notifier, System
Restore automatically re-enables itself after sufficient disk space is made
available.

I see the restore points and it goes thru the process but sometimes when it
finishes, it says it can't restore.
