Guest PRNole Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I have been trying to find some Restore point that works but am finding that none of them do. I have at least 1 1/2 months of Restore points available and have not been able to find one that will work. So I'm stuck. Any reason why this is happening? I have previously been able to Restore w/o problems but had not done so in several months, so I'm not sure why this is happening now.

Have you installed any recently?

It now works fine! Thanks for the tips! ..
