Have been recently plagued by system restore not working too. However I
found that if I start computer in Safe Mode (F8) it will restore just fine. Is this typical of Vista HP? I believe SR worked fine when I first got new Gateway NB, but no longer does. Don't know why. If you know of a fix, please let me know. ----------------------- Also, I've recently experienced various problems with both Vista & XP computers. After removing Spybot S&D, the problems fixed themselves. There is something about the latest Spybot version that's not working correctly with my computers. Just a suggestion. |

Hi smitti,
No, it's not typical. Normally, System Restore works just fine. Something is interfering with the creation of the restore points in normal mode. A frequent culprit of this unwanted behavior is Norton antivirus software. If you have this installed, see: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "smitti" wrote in message ...
