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,
