You don't need XP's Restore on with ERUNT.  I turned it off. 
I'm not sure what really happens when you see "A restore point 
is being made" when you install certain things.  I don't see 
how it could be using the Native restore when it's off, and I 
don't know if that means it's making an ERUNT backup or what. 
But at any rate, a daily backup is automatically made when you 
start your PC (if you opt'd for that and you certainly should). 
I have the icon on the Taskbar and I also click to manually 
make a backup before I install anything.

If you don't want it to keep backups for weeks, months, years, 
and it will if you don't tell it, right click the icon in the 
Start Up folder and change that line to this:

"C:\Program Files\ERUNT\AUTOBACK.EXE" 
%SystemRoot%\ERDNT\AutoBackup\#Date# /noconfirmdelete 
/noprogresswindow /days:5

That suffix at the end:  [space]/days:5   means it will save 
the last 5 days of backups.  That way you don't have to keep 
going to the ERUNT folder in the Windows directory and delete 
old backups.

If your have windows restore turned off and are running ERUNT 
instead.
When windows says it is making a restore point will it use 
ERUNT?
