my system restore points totally disappear every week or
so. I will check one day and there will be several
restore points listed and then the next day they are all
gone and I have no restore points. Can anybody help me
so that all my restore points don't disappear.

Thank you,

There are a few reasons for System Restore to reset:

System Restore "Restore Points" Are Missing or Deleted

The System Restore Utility May Be Suspended on a System Drive Even Though
There Is Enough Disk Space

I found an error message under event logs for system
restore that says, "The System Restore filter encountered
the unexpected error 0xC0000040 while processing the file
THE BEE GE...89.mpg.Ink on the volume HarddiskVolume1.
It has stopped monitoring the volume.

Do you know what this means or can you explain it to me
if it is related to erasing my system restore points?

Thanks,

David M

Yes it's related and at the moment the problem is attributed to "a rare set
of circumstances" caused by RealOne Player software. There is no fix
suggested in the article:

Windows System Restore Utility Quits and All Restore Points Are Deleted
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812119

You should be able to resume monitoring though: Right click My Computer and
select Properties. On the next screen that appears, you will be able to see
at a glance if System Restore is currently active (Monitoring will be noted
in this case) or if it still suspended (Turned Off). Select the drive you
want monitored. Click Settings. Remove the check from the box next "Turn
off System Restore on this drive."
