Hi,
Before I re-installed XP Home on my Notebook, the Restore System worked well.
But since I re-installed XP, it doesn't work : when I click on "create a restore point", the system hangs, I have to "end task" to go out, and sometimes a window appears with : "the application rundll32.exe has no response. Please wait till it's closing...", something like that.

I tried also to delete my antivirus and my firewall, to desactivate and reactivate the Restore System, to open the notebook on safeboot, but no success...
And of course, when I want to install a program, which creates automaticaly a Restore Point, the installation freezes.

Maybe somebody knows this problem ?
Thanks

Check out the following:

(scroll down to System Restore)

You can also do a BackUp. Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools,Backup. Clicking on BackUp will open the BackUp and Restore Wizard. You can backup files, folders, choose to backup Windows or your System Files or whatever. It basicly does the same thing as System Restore but is more flexible.
