Vista System Restore failure
Q1: Since using Windows Defrag tool many of the installed programs fail to
show up in the Program and Features list. Only 6 of about 60 progs are listed but the missing progs are still showing in Program Files and Start Menu. All are working o.k. but this will create a future Uninstall problem in some cases. Any ideas ? I have tried a System Restore for 3 different restore points but all 3 have failed giving the message following computer Restart: "Restore did not complete successfully - System filoes and settings were not changed". Also: " An unspecified error occurred during System Restore - try a different restore point". Knowing how important the Restore feature is I am worried about the consequences if I get a major ptoblem in future and am unable to Restore. Any Suggestions ? It appears tha Windows Defrag caused both problems. blanco.

If using Norton, disable it before using System Restore.
