Topic: System Restore

[MikeDavies]

For some reason I am unable to restore to a previous restore point (windows XP). I can select the required restore point and computer goes thru the usual motions but after restart the it just says that it could not restore to the required point and suggests trying a different restore point, which is also unsuccesful!

I have recently installed Norton 2008 security (free with BT), could this be the problem? Any advice very welcome.

Cant comment on the dreaded Norton,silly sounding question did you set a restore point. I have had this message and just kept trying and succeeded,dont worry someone will be along in a while a lot better than Ito help.good luck


How many attempts have you made Mike restore points that is ?

System Restore is notorious for that, Mike, but it seems that Norton may also have something to do with it - see link below.
