Lovely, thanks.

I appreciate how long this endeavor took
you.... over three hours. Not too bad, Mr. Fife.

I urge you to stimulate your internal anal sphincter

Thanks, Otis.

I wasn't preaching, goober.

But, it is important that every so often,
someone points out his idiocy so that those
who are new to the group might understand
that his drivel is usually rather useless.

You should be ashamed for your idiotic outburst. You do not need more restore points.
Besides, you have control over the number of restore points you can have. Just add more
storage, do more backups and eat your sh*it in the privacy of your home. Do not bring
your lunacy in here.

Do you intend to always be the biggest imbecile
in this group? So far, you are winning quite handily.

Thankfully, your plethora of posts quickly identified
your amazing lack of helpful tech knowledge and your
many mental deficiencies. Hopefully, most users simply
ignore your prattle.

yes of course ....
this is exactly as you say it...

I understood this the very first time when vista was still in beta.

On MACS you have to have an external drive for "TIME MACHINE" to work.
Time machine is so far ahead of shadow copy thats its literally "from
the
future" pun intended!

see how shadow copy should have been here
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/timemachine.html

A feature stolen from "windows".
It is like www.memeo.com's backup solution for windows but not as good.
Memeo has been around for a lot longer than timemachine and there are
several alternatives that do similar things.
There was even a real-time backup and file versioner for win98 but I
forget what it was called.
Some more of Apples "innovation".

Let us not forget that Apple Macs first did multitasking in 1988, about 4
years after Commodore's Amiga was already doing it and with colour
display,
too, not the B&W Macs had back then but of course Mac users claim they
had
it first.

and the Amiga did it with only 256k ram try that on a MAC or PC

hehehe...no you don't and we all know you don't. Hell you're even too
stupid to get one little install of Vista to run properly.
You are the quintessential big mouth moron idiot wannabe.
If google didn't exist, I doubt you would either.

It's not a bug - it's a completely idiotic feature of Vista Home Premium
(and maybe Basic too)

System Restore relies on Shadow Storage - which MS also uses to provide
"previous version" file capabilities in higher-end Vista systems.

However, Vista is in fact still taking copies of ALL your files - thereby
eating up space that you might reasonably have thought was solely for
System Restore points. Result: ShadowStorage fills up very quickly and
your restore points are dumped.

See
http://berossus.blogspot.com/2008/02...ng-system.html
and the links therein for what I eventually found on the web once I knew
what to look for. It has been known about since last year apparently...

Personally I am outraged at the lack of control over my own system, and
specifically the completely useless System Restore capability that has
resulted.

MS should be ashamed. Very, very ashamed.

But thanks to everyone who helped me track down the problem

You would be more outraged if Vista could not recover itself as well as it
can..


Funny you say that. I got SP1 off Windows update and after it crapped all
over my very well running Vista pre SP1, I tried to use restore mode. Not
there. Gone. No restore to go back to in order to undo this "crime" to my
computer!

Why would you install SP1 if you claim to have had "very well running Vista
pre SP1"? Surely it couldn't have been running that well if you thought you
needed to fix it with SP1.
