Guest KG Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 System has been running great, XP home SP2, setting system restore points every 5 days using the reg hack, then BLAM, after the last windows update they are all gone, nothing, nota. It looks like with MS I must start backing up the backup. MS is getting almost as good as BUSH at screwing up. ***************** Thank You kGbAT@msbx.net To reply to this email please remove the AT after the kGb in the reply to address as shown above.
Guest Bob I Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: Where did restore points go? Likely your reghack screwed with the restore point the windows update attempted to create, and that flushed it. Try letting the regular daily restore point creation routine work the way it was designed.

If your system is "running great", what do you need old system restore points for, anyway?
Guest Bert Kinney Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: Where did restore points go? Hi KG, What registry setting did you change to force restore points every 5 days? The following page covers most of the reasons why restore point become missing.

Guest Bert Kinney Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Re: Where did restore points go? Hi, By default System Restore creates automatic restore points every 24 hours. Are you the original poster of this thread?
