Hi Darryl,
I used it once in Win ME.
Then deleted ME and went back to Win 98SE.
I have used it 20 or 30 times on Win 98SE computers, with about 90% success
rate.
I have used it in XP about 5 times, 4 times successfully, although 2 times I
had to revert to an older backup due to not having sufficient free space.
That is how I found out about the 200MB problem<G>
One time on this XP machine nothing would restore the drive, GoBack, or
System Restore.
Fortunately I use dual removable hard drives and Drive Image to clone the
2od drive, which I then remove for backup.

Just curious, as I dont use System Restore nor have I ever had it turned on.
How many have actually found it of use, and how many have actually relied on
it to only find it made them pull their hair out more.
