    System Restore points are not automatic per se.  They will only occur daily during system idle times.  In other words when your PC is on and no browser/keyboard or mouse activity is happening.  Check to see if it works by simply turning on your pc and walk away from it for 10 or 15 minutes.  Then check to see if a system checkpoint was made.  If your the type who must have a restore point every day, then I suggest you make a note or set up a calender reminder for you to do it, because they will not be set at precise intervals on their own.  Kip

    Thanks for the quick response, I must have misread some info when researching why there is no history in the restore calendar.
