How often, with out updates,does System Restore give you/me a new date to go back to? Is there a formular? Will it/should it give one every day E.G.? The last time I had one was two weeks ago and I use the PC every day. I do not have any problems with my PC so does it only give one if your having probs? Please put me out of my misery! If you know the answer or have a stab at it. TTFN

it gives me a new restore point everyday, it calls it 'system checkpoint'

Check the following: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q310405 http://www.bcentral.co.uk/technology/windows/tips/P20970.asp You can do a manual restore point every day if you wish. Just click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore. Check "Create a Restore Point"

System checkpoints System Restore creates restore points on a regular basis even if you have not made any changes to the system. System Restore automatically creates these restore points: every 24 hours of calendar time or every 24 hours your computer is turned on If your computer is turned off for more than 24 hours, System Restore creates a restore point the next time you start the computer. The computer must be idle for a few minutes before System Restore creates a scheduled restore point. Selecting a scheduled restore point restores Windows XP Professional and programs to the state that they were in at that time. Any files with data file name extensions (such as .doc, .htm, .xls, and so on) and all files in the My Documents folder are not restored.

To learn all you desire about the subject. Click on restore my computer to an earlier time then next. After next click on help in the upper right hand of the window and read all about it.

May I be so bold as to ask what TTFN means? Thanks

TTFN obviously means ta-ta for now a la Winnie the Pooh!
