System restore is enabled and running on my system. However it creates no restore points either automatically or manually. When I try to set a manual restore point I get the error message: "System Restore is not able to create a restore point. Please restart the computer, and then run the System Restore again." - Which only gives the same result again. I have tried the troubleshooting advice in Microsoft Q302796. I beleive I have enough room in my partitions, al off thenm are about have about half of their space free (4-6 GB). When I try to run System Restore in safe mode there is only one option: "Restore my computer to an earlier time" - Which is quite useless without restore points. The event viewer only lists two occurences of "sr" or "srservice" which was one time I tried to disable and later enable system restore. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Rgds Vidar

System Restore "Restore Points" Are Missing or Deleted http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q301224

Are you running Home or Pro? I tried everything suggested here and on the MS pages to no avail when I was running Home. I am now running Pro and have had no problems fot the last 7 months.

Thank you for answering me. I am running Pro. I checked Q301224 (and Q299904 and Q300044). There seems to be nothing there that applies to my system. I just wonder, - I have a hidden partition which I use for win 98 to run a couple of scanners that were incompatible with XP. When I check with Administrative tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management I can see this partition of 961 Mb with 516 mb free space. The partition was made with Partition Magic and I use Boot Magic to boot into it, not XP's dual boot system. Could perhaps this partition be the troublemaker, - actually I don't believe that. I also think I saw somwhere somebody complaining over System Restore and Norton Antivirus, could there be something - I'm running the NAV 2002. Best rgds Vidar
