Restore points not saved

[Guest JHL]

I recently had a HD failure and had installed a new 320 GB SATA drive and

reinstalled XP Home SP3. I created several restore points on day one as I

slowly rebuild what I had.

 

However today, 3 days later I do not have a previous restore point? I have

enabled restore points to C drive only, but at it's maximum it's only showing

36629 MB. My HD has 290 GB free.

 

Help is appreciated.

RE: Restore points not saved

 

I would like to add that I went to the event viewer and on one day I had a

'sr' event. The message was *the system restore filter encountered the

unexpected error '0xC000011e' while processing the file 'cappexe.ini' on the

volume 'harddisk volume 1'. I t has stopped monitoring the volume.

 

I think cappexe.ini is a CA Antivirus file, which is the antivirus program

installed and running. That was the only time that error has been recorded.

It seems a one time event so far.

A number of anti-virus programmes and Zone Alarm prevent System Restore

working. The solution is likely to be to disable the anti-virus when

using System Restore. This can cause problems in some situations when

wanting to use System Restore. You can change to another anti-programme

that does not bring this problem. An alternative is to use something

like Acronis to image your drive at regular intervals.

 

This site is not up to date but reflects the situation sometime after

the problem started to emerge

Hope this helps.

Thanks Gerry. I'm waiting for a shippment of Acronis as I type. I might go

back to AVG free if this happens again.
