What type of problems are you having? Is the Restore feature turned on? Some Trojans/Virii have the ability to turn it off. You may not have restore points available on the dates you're trying to restore to.

XP makes a restore point when the files it monitors have changed. Basically, it monitors Windows system files. Apparently, no changes have been made to those files.
What exactly are you trying to restore? If it's lost data (documents, pictures, music, email, etc.), XP System Restore doesn't monitor those. |

In that way you're not able to restore the moment you want.
In my opinion windows xp restoring system doesn't work properly.That's why you better use another restoring software.Such as Acronis True Image 8.0 http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/ I know a lot of people using it,and they like it so much!!! Anyway,it's your choise.Just wanted to help you

Try doing the restore in safe mode.
------------------------ eXe - it looks to me like almost every single one of your posts is hyping Acronis products. They are quality products, but not the answer for everything. Please be more discriminating as to where and how you post about them, this is bordering on spam, we do ask that replies to posts be kept on topic here. Thank you. - Moderator - Last edited by glc; 04-05-2005 at 11:58 AM. |
