Guest ccowboy Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hey Everyone. When it comes to technical things on a PC Im not the shapest tool in the shed.(lol) Last night I experienced my first failure with System Restore. I tried a few different dates and got the same response as Martin Sachs (11/13/04) I read through the thread and it seems he understands it more then I do! I am using regular XP home addition. Could someone list step by step how to dis-able the system restore file, and then re-enabling it. I am not even sure I would know how to find where those options are. Im not sure if it will work as was noted by others. But Im willing to give it a shot. If you all could give me a hand it would be appreciated. (It sure would beat having to pay $60 bucks for microsoft to do it!) lol Thanks ahead of time!

Hi - I don't know what the other thread referred to, but if you want to disable system restore, do it in control panel | system | System Restore (make sure you're in "Classic View" in control panel). Whether this will resolve your issue I can't say, but you might post a new message with your own issue/description/symptoms before proceeding. Be as detailed as possible, and remember to use a meaningful subject line (not something like"Help!!!" ....)
