    System Restore - again

    Have Windows Vista Ultimate and - as well as all other versions of Windows
    that I have had over the years, it won't restore. I turned it off and on the
    last time this happened, but it still will not restore to any point in time.
    Of what use is this program? Have been reading other posts on this, but no
    one really knows why it rarely works.

    Hi,

    Do you have any Norton application installed?

    Thank you - that was exactly my problem. Had quite a time turning Norton's
    back on - had to restart twice...but it's up and running. I am planning on
    getting rid of Norton's as soon as the trial is over that came with my
    computer. It's not my favorite software.
