Hi All

System restore is not creating automatic restore points.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium SP1

That is utter garbage info "leave it on for a couple of days, lol"

System restore creates check point at its own pre-set times. Any others are
created when there are hardware or software changes

Hello macca,
Please click on this link. It might explain why.

'System restore points and shadow copies of files are missing after you
install Windows Vista Service Pack 1'

I do not thing that SP1 is the problem as I have 40GB free space on the
partition that windows is installed on.

Macca,

Be sure Task Scheduler is running, this can cause System Restore to fail.
Check Start_All Programs_Accessories_System Tools_Task Scheduler. Expand the
branch Microsoft/Windows/System Restore then click the Triggers tab. It
should read "Daily--- at 12:00 AM every day" and "At startup---At system
startup"

All the best,
