System Restore

My System Restore feature is not working. I've  gone back from now to Oct 15, which I believe is around the time a new hard drive was installed, and I always get a "system cannot restore" message. The "turn off system restore" box is NOT checked in the Restore tab of the System Properties window.

    dotbie,

    What you report is a symptom of a corrupted restore database. To clear it turn off system restore and reboot. Turn system restore back on and create a manual restore point. Try to restore to it, and if you are successful the problem is resolved. You will lose all your prior restore points of course, but they don't work in any case.
