| Newbie Rep Power: 5  |  System Restore Won't Work First, I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit. My problem is I can't get the "System Restore" to work. Every time I set it to do a system restore, it appears to go through all the right motions. Then after it shuts down and restarts itself, I get an error message: "System restore did not complete successfully." "An unspecified error occurred during system restore." It goes on to say that the computers settings have not changed. What's going on? I've tried several different checkpoints including one that I had manually set myself. None of them work, I always get the same error message. Anybody else ever run into this problem? |

 Member   Rep Power: 20  | Re: System Restore Won't Work yes I have but I have noticed that System Restore in Vista is not worth much. It's not like xp where you can go back several days or even a week or two. From what I've seen you can only go back about 24 hrs. ... just my 2cents... FATBOY |

 Member  Rep Power: 9 | Re: System Restore Won't Work I seem to recall that if you are running Norton Anti-virus and the Norton Files under Norton Options are protected the system restore will return that message. I remember having that problem with Windows XP, I don't know if it applies to Vista 32 bit. It does not apply to Vista 64bit which I am running. |
