Hi, I am running Vista 32 bit, and I cannot get system restore to run under
Windows, it will run in Safe Mode, and restore points are being made
successfully. I just cannot get System Restore to run under windows,I keep
gertting an error message that states that sytem restore was unsucessful.
After doing some reading on the newsgroups, I have discovered that somehow
the Systems Restore Services has been deleted. Any ideas how to remedy this
problem without having to use my Vista install disk and running a repair
function through it.

Thanks.

Additionally, I am not running Norton antivirus, but do have Zone Alarm
running. I have tried exiting Zone Alarm and running a restore, but to no
avail.

It does work in Safe Mode, but it is just a pain to reboot the computer to
get it into Safe Mode to do this, especially when it used to work in Windows.
It seems a lot of the problems started popping up when I installed the first
service pack for Vista.
Any help from whoever is reading this would be appreciated. Thanks

Typically, to get help you need to provide details such as the exact error
message. Doesn't get much help if I ask, "Can you fix my car?" Anyway, try
disabling System Restore for all drives (Note: this will erase all previous
restore points.) Reboot, then re-enable System Restore. If you provide the
error code, we might get further.
