| | RE: System Restore does not work Hit F8, and try it in safe mode. Also, disable your anti-virus before attempting to do a System Restore.

| | Re: System Restore does not work Thanks for your reply. It also doesn't work in Safe Mode or with anti-virus disabled. Where does Vista store data for System Restore? I can't use System Restore to either create a new restore point or revert to a previous one. Would doing a repair install of Windows help?
