At a guess I would say your using XP, I dont know why but when I used restore cetaintimes I would get the same response.

IMHO, try different date and see how it goes, any trouible , give the gang a bell.

Hi got a bit of a prob. When i go into system restore to restore something i select what i want to restore and restart my PC. then after i boots back to XP it comes up with the message "System Restoration Unsucessful". is there a patch or an update avaliable to download to fix this problem?

Any help please

Have you only tried the one restore point? Try making a restore point now/today...then go back through the restore points until one works?

The today restore point can then be used if you go back too far... I've only used the restore system a few times, and did what I'm suggesting now after one restore point failed; the reason why I'm not sure...but something didn't save properly.

p.s. I regularly backup using Norton Ghost. This software takes a complete image of my boot drive so incase of problems I can reimage my boot drive from dos All of my personal files are on other drive/ partitions.
