i got a new dell laptop in december, and i have had a lot of problems getting
office and Mcaffe to work, eventually resolved by using office 2007. however
i have done many installs and removes, and my pc with dual 2Ghz cpus & 2GB
ram runs like a dog. Dell recomend that for a trouble free long term solution
go back to the factory restore, i think this is the best. however there are
alot of other things to add after that, security patches, updates to Media
Player, Desktop, Defender, google, Office etc. i would like to create and
keep a restore point after doing this so it wont be necescary to do so much
in the future. but from what i can see eventually the oldest ones get
deleted, and generally there isnt much point in going back more than a couple
of weeks except to a clean system. so i intend to reduce the allocated space
to2 Gb instead of 12, i have over 40 restore point at the moment!

is this possible if not is there another solution, i am a competent user but
no tecnitian, i dont want to be playing in the registry etc.

thanks
 
One option would be to use an imaging app, eg True Image and store the image
on external media
