System Restore does not work
When I try to run System Restore I get this error message:


--------------
There was an unexpected error.

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
(0x8007007B)

System Restore will now close.
--------------

Thanks for any help on this.

Cheers,
Marty

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?
