Vista - Previous Versions Never Works

Hi I am using Vista Ultimate and no matter what I do, which file I change or even if I do a system restore my previous versions tab always says "There are no previous versions available"
I have my VSS Service set to manual, should this be set to Automatic in order for Previous Versions to work?
Any help would be great thanks!

To check to see if you have any system restore points.

If not , try setting VSS service to Automatic - also check Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service is set - try Automatic. ( I believe the default setting is manual )

Hey...thanks for the replies!

I have set both services to Automatic and Started them, changed a few files and still get "No previous versions available".

I may leave it for a few days after some restore points have been made and see if anything comes up then!

I just read that guide you posted SIW2 and it solved the problem.

I had the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service disabled, after turning it on I noticed Previous versions again!

Thanks for your help!
