I am having problems using the system restore in XP Home Edition. I have
tried to test the restore feature using a test restore point. When I attempt
to restore the computer to that point, it will not do so. I will get the
message that the system could not be reset to the restore point and no
changes have been made. I would really appreciate it if someone could please
help me. Thank you.

Hi,

There are several reasons this may occur. Let's take a look at Event
Viewer for any System Restore logs that may have been created recently
that may help us diagnosing the problem.

Go to Start - Run and type eventvwr.msc and press enter.
Click on System in the left pane.
Click the gray title "Source" at the top of the source name column in
the right pane to sort by source name, look for "sr" and "srservice".
Double click on each of these events, then click on the button below the
two arrows in the upper right corner. This will copy the event
information to the clipboard. Paste the information for each of the two
event here. There's no need to post duplicate Event ID's.

How do I use the Event Viewer to search for System Restore logs?

You don't have any restore points for your computer to restore to. Use any
antispyware you have and scan your system, do the same with your antivirus,
use Norton's utilities to to fix any problems you might have, make sure you
have at least 12% free hard disk space of your total hard disk size,
optimize by defraging your hard disk. This is a cleaning up process of your
hard disk. Unless you have a virus or corrupt XP files this should take care
of your restore problems. Give your computer a little time to establish a
restore point, then try to restore it.
