Systems restore won't work
Sorry if this is the wrong forum -- I have a question about Systems Restore. I have Windows XP Home. I have not been able to use Systems Restore recently. Systems Restore is enabled, and twice I have created new restore points. Is this a hardware problem? software? Microsoft?
Your help is appreciated!

I tried that and even a complete reinstllation of the OS and it still does not work for me. But I am able to create new restore points. Neither Dell nor Microsoft has been able to help. Mine just quit about 3 weeks ago, don't know what is the cause and would like to get it back again.

That problem is normally due to a corrupted restore database. Disable System Restore and restart your computer. Enable System Restore again, create a manual restore point and try to restore to it to verify that the system works again. Your old restore points will be purged but they did not work anyway so that is no loss.
