Vista - System Restore : Can't Turn It Off!!

Vista is making automatic System Restore points on both of my 2 drives: C
(system) & Z (Data drive), even though I have specifically TURNED OFF
(delected the tick) automatic restore points on the Data drive (System
Protection Properties dialog box|automatic restore points).

Is this a known bug?

How can I make Vista REALLY stop making automatic restore points on the Z
Drive?

NigelS

PS Drive C & Z are separate primary partitions on the same RAID volume; is
this a clue?

I have a dollar that sez it is!

My problem is the other way round. I had turned off System Restore a few
weeks back and now wish to turn it back on, but cannot. When I insert a
check in the box next to the C drive and click on OK, I get an error message
saying:
"Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason: The request
is not supported (0 x 80070032)"
I am sure there is a bug requiring fixing.

Hi,

Is Internet Information Services (IIS) turned on by chance?

I have newly clean install of vista and tried to do a restore point before
installing a certain piece of software and got the same message...

[ Could not create the scheduled task for the following reason: The request
is not supported (0 x 80070032) ]

anyone know of a fix?
