Hi,
I am using Vista Home Premium 64, and up to now everthing has been
reasonable OK.

However every month ATI issues new drivers so this month I downloaded
them but when I tried December's to install them it said that they were
not 64 bit (drivers name is 8-12_vista64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_72275), they
also have Vista 32-bit which are called almost the same
(8-12_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_72275).

OK let it pass for a few days and tried again this time int installed
but it would not allow the resulation to be set for my monitor at 1920
X1200 so I removed it again yesterdaay I tried it again and all appeared
well but afterwards I am unabled to use
system restore. The error message states:-

*The restore point could not be created for the following reason:*
**
*The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is
retried, the error may not reoccur. (0x800423F2).*
**
*Please try again.*

Well I did and got the same result each time. So now no System
Protection Point also Restore Point This means I can not update some
programs that require a restore point before they install as well as
being unable to roll back any that did not work.

I have tried the Vista Forum and got the answer "Go to the control
Panel then System - System - Systen Protection and clear the system
restore catch (untick the box). Then restart the System Restore." This
is supposed to start a new restore point. BUT IT DOES NOT.

This is doing my head in I beeen at it 10 hours today so far.

Anyone know the cure or has any ideas what to do other than
reformatting the hard drive?

I am running Vista Home Premium 32 on a Dell laptop and have had trouble
using System Restore. After running Syst Restore, I got a message stating
that System Restore did not restore the selected restore point. The
solution, as recommended by others, was to reboot in Safe Mode and then run
System Restore. Works like a charm.

I have same problem and after MONTHS of searching, no solution. Running
without a System Restore is a little sacary, so I invested in Rollback
Rx. Works a charm and allows a complete backup as well.

However, you should be able to install updates that first make a System
restore point. They may take a little longer (as they try and fail to
make the restore point) but they will work. I have been operating like
that for months. Just take the tick out of the Restore Point as you
describe above and leave it out to speed up other updates.
