| | Can't Create Restore Points I've lost the ability to create restore points. It's not turned on or off. It just doesn't work. I tried to create a dual boot system with Vista and XP. It wasn't working, so I got rid of everything I had tried to do, including the new partition on the new drive. I may have deleted something in the process, but I can't figure out how to get it back. I may have to reinstall, but would prefer not to, since I would have to reinstall all the new software. Any suggestions??? |

| | Re: Can't Create Restore Points I can't turn restore on OR off. When I go to the system restore box, it looks for previous points, and just hangs. All the boxes are whited out so I can't access anything. I've tried to start system restore from a command prompt using rstrui.exe with no success. "Mark L.
