Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / April 2008System Restore will not work? (It IS enabled)
I'm no sure if I'm posting this in the right catagory, but I recently used the Live One Care scanning tool from Microsoft and it found an error in the registy that it could not fix (my computerhas been running very slow lately), I tried to restore it to my "Brand New" restore point, but when my PC reboots I get a screen that says it could not restore and that no changes have been made to my computer (except that it keeps taking away my quick launch). I have tried several restore points, but it will not complete a system restore. I have updated and run my Norton AntiVirus program (full system scan) and found no viruses or spyware. I have: WinXP Home Ed. Service Pck 2 (version 2002) Dell OptiPlex SX260 Pentium 4 (2.66GHz) 512 MB of RAM  SignaturePlease help...technologically impaired! LOL Cheryl http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html SignatureHope this helps.
