For about a month now,I have been losing restore points every 2-3 days.
I am set up for automatic Windows Updates and any restore points that
appear over a 2-3 day period completely disappear after that period-(I
can only hold restore points for 2-3 days in other words). I do have
plenty of storage left on my hard drive-243 GB free,so I have plenty of
room on my hard drive. I use to retain at least a whole month's worth of
dozens of restore points,but now I can only retain 2-3 days worth. I
wonder if it could have something to do with Norton Internet Security-I
activated the 60 day trial about a month ago on my laptop computer and
it seems like my system restore points have only been disappearing since
I activated the trial. But,the same thing happened with my Windows
Update History about 2 months ago-I had completely lost my update
history,but that was before Norton Internet Security.
When I go to System Restore after the 2-3 day period,the system restore
window says that no system restore points have been created on your
disc-something to that effect. I do receive Windows Updates almost on a
daily basis,so I know that I receive restore points almost everyday. I
check system restore everyday and there is always restore points,but any
restore points that I receive disappear usually after 2 days. Also,that
box that you check to see system restore points older than 5 days is no
longer on the system restore window. I'm open to any suggestions. Don't
be afraid to get too technical with me.
Thank You in Advance
Hello TGL,
Do you dual boot with XP by chance?

You may also need to adjust the maximum disk space usage for System
Restore to a higher size to allow for more restore points to be stored
also.

Hope this helps,
