Cristy,
Sometimes the built in System Restore seems to "fail" because not enough
space on the hard drive is allocated to it. This is also why points
manually set sometimes disappear. The OS automatically sets some restore
points and if there is not enough space the older ones are deleted. It does
not automatically keep information on all hard drives if you have more then
one hard drive. It must be set to monitor individual drives, so if you keep
the programs folder on a different drive then the Windows folder, it might
not restore settings changes to the drive the program folder is on unless it
is set to monitor that drive. Do not expect System Restore to restore data
files you may have deleted such as word documents or pictures. It is not a
back up program at all. It restores certain OS system settings, hence the
name System Restore. Data is not part of the OS system. System Restore can
be turned on and off, if it seems to not be working, and once was, perhaps
it was turn
ed off.
It needs to be set to automatically start in the services section of the
administrative settings on XP Pro and XP Home also in order for it to run
properly. I do not recall if there is something similar in Me. I have XP
Pro now on the machine where I once had Me installed.

Hio Cristy. I have System Restore that come with the computer, I set
a Restore Date and when I go to use it a week later it is gone .
Had nothing but trouble with it . A good tradesman never blames his
tools , lol , so I guess it is me . I deleted System Restore and got
" Go Back " by Roxio , lovely . wouldn't use any thing else , got me
out of a lot of trouble many times. I am a lousy tradesman and need a
lot of good help. Lionel.

Can anyone tell me why system restore does not always work? On one computer
I have it never works, (althought it did long time ago), I thought it was
always working on the other until the other night after I created a restore
point and it would not let me restore to an earlier restore point.
cristy (use xp home).
Thanks,
