Solved Finding older system restore point

Hello:

When I open System Restore I find that I only have access to 3 restore points, all of them fairly recent. I know I made some restore points in mid December, but they are not shown. How to I get to one of my earlier restore points?

I looked over System Restore FAQs, and I did a search on the subject in this forum, but I didn't see anything on this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help. Don.

Thanks for responding Richard (and for a comprehensive answer).

I have 214 gigs of space on my hard drive, but when I try to use Restore, I only get the 3 recent restore points, and I don't get the option you mention (i.e. there's no "show more points" box down on the lower left).

I defrag my C drive weekly using the PC Matic fix-all utility, so I suppose that's why I don't have any older points.

Thanks again. Don Lemna

Increase the size of the restore partition, if you have a large hard drive. I have given you information on that already
Dont defrag that drive and dont defrag any drive too much
I will give you detailed maintenance information. Check back a little later.
