The number of restore points one gets is related to one's IQ

Is it directly proportional or inversely proportional? We need to know
so that we can figure out how many restore points *you* have!

If you reinstalled SR, that whacks all your RPs and starts over - that
is a good start.

ZA had/has some issue with RPs (I don't use ZA) but I think it did
something that just left you with one lone RP even though your SR
mechanism was functional - ZA had some problem with the old RPs - I
don't know exactly. Yes - you could say farewall to all your RPs with
ZA.

If you made a new RP and you see in in the SR calendar, your SVI
folder is not empty. It may appear empty to you if you check the
Properties (zero bytes) until you loosen the permissions and
restrictions on the folder to allow access (I sent the link to tell
you how). I would undo any loosening you do to the SVI folder when
you are finished poking around in the SVI folder so you do not have an
accident later.

Hopefully somebody else familiar with the ZA issue involving RPs will
be able to tell you if the new version of ZA has the problem
identified/corrected.

It sounds like you thought the SVI folder was empty when it really was
not empty because of a misunderstanding and since you were using ZA
you fell victim to one of the recent ZA afflictions where it deletes
your RPs for you (while it is protecting you of course).

So far, it sounds like you have no XP issues that need attention.
