Lost Files / Restore Points?

[Harry]

Seemed to have lost many files a few days ago, being a
novice tried to restore but restore was only able to go
back 3 days, I have been using this computer for over a
year and half, what could be up!?!?!?!?!

Harry;
System Restore was not designed for and will not restore personal
files.

You need your back-ups to restore personal files.

Otherwise something here may help:

Is it possible you have less than 200 mb on your hard drive left
System restore needs more space to backup..check that out

If you do not have enough space for System Restore, it will not work
properly if at all.

200mb is far to little, time to get a larger hard drive.
