Restore Points are not being created

Question

When I need to use System Restore, I only seem to have one available Restore Point ( and it is for the current day). Shouldn't my Windows XP be automatically creating Restore Points at least once a day? I've looked at my System Restore settings and I am already allocating the max size for this purpose. Is there any other way to have my PC automatically create more Restore Points? Message Edited by kenglund on 05-10-2004 09:45 AM

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore
RPGlobalInterval ...........(86400) thats 24 HRS , default. (auto create Restore Point in secs)
RPLifeInterval ...........(7776000) thats 90 days , default. (delete Point after x days in secs)
