From: Double Tap on 6 Aug 2010 21:59 This is not a new problem for me. My computer makes a restore point every day, but the few times over the past year i have tried to go back to a restore point the computer appears to go through all the steps but then gives me a message that it can not be restored to try a different restore point. However no matter which point I pick it will not restore. I run XP Home Service Pack 3 with an AMD AthlonXP 3000+ Thanks

Out of curiosity, why do you want to run System Restore in the first place? That being said, there are two reasons SR fails: 1. You have malware. 2. You are running a program that interferes with it (examples are Zone Alarm, certain versions of Kaspersky, and the dreaded Norton). For more info, see: http://bertk.mvps.org/html/srfail.html If you want to try running SR in Safe Mode with Command Prompt, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304449 If you have malware, you really should let us know!
