Hello

My system restore fails every time I attempt it. This has happened the last 3 times I had a need to attempt restore. (Three attempts separated by months in time, about different issues.) This time, I am thinking something may be wrong with my system restore function.

In this case, it is simply a matter of trying to roll back a browser update.

I saw a whole list of available restore points, and I went to the second one back - from only a few days ago. The restore failed.

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, OEM from Gateway Laptop about 1.5 yrs old. I allow most updates.

Any Suggestions? Thanks.

David

See the following. Is Norton installed by any chance

Restore failed again.

Here is my procedure

I checked services:
Task Scheduler was running as automatic
Windows Backup (System Restore Service is XP only) was running as manual & I changed it to automatic
Where’s the System Restore service gone in my Vista Home Premium ? « A Vista enthusiast blog

I cleared all restore points using system protection as you described.

I used Backup & Restore Center to check restore points: there were none.

I used Tuneup Utilities Disk Space Manager to double check restore points: there were none.

I created a restore point named test.

Prompt said restore point successfully created.

I created a folder on desktop named test. (this should be gone after restore)

I used Backup & Restore Center to check restore points: point named test is in display.

I used Tuneup Utilities Disk Space Manager to double check restore points: there were none.

I started restore restore process cycled computer restarted.

Restore failed. Test folder was still on desktop.

I used Tuneup Utilities Disk Space Manager to double check restore points: 79.35 MB

I am running NIS 2009 - could this cause problem?

Absolutely. Go into Settings - Miscellaneous Settings - Product
Security and turn off 'Norton Product Tamper Protection'. Then run
System Restore. Hope that helps.
