Jill, as you say, I am a home user. I teach English overseas. I have a
stand alone Dual Core ACPl x86-based PC running the Vista Home Premium OS.
I am behind a router to a DSL or Broadband Internet connection (being
overseas I'm not sure which). If you need further clarification, I'll be
happy to reply.
The system restore function has never functioned correctly from the first
day I got the computer (it's new just like the OS). When attempting a
System Restore, it kept telling me that there must have been a power
interruption (or such). When I found the System Protection tab, everything
looked fine until the window stops searching for the computer's drives, then
the System Protection tab changes to say the "Group Policy" will not allow
me to create a System Backup and of course the HP version of Vista won't let
me look at the Group Policy even with a gpedit.msc file. Hope that helps
with your diagnostics, Jill. I need your help very much.
