My system restore has not worked for quite awhile now.
When I try to use is, I go to it and the system restore
point is always the current day and time that I am on
it. I cannot go to any other day or time and even when I
try to use the restore anyway, it goes thru the process
but then tells me it was not restored. Any ideas or
suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Did you check to see if System restore feature is turned off

Thanks for responding. I did check that before posting.
The system restore is not turned off. It is just not
working for some reason.

Chad, Have you Checked your hard disks for free space. You must have at least 200MB of free space on each disk on which you've enabled System Restore. You can use the Disk Cleanup utility to reclaim space. If necessary, you can also use this utility to delete all but the most recent restore points

Some other things to try if thats not the problem....

1. Try running the utility in Safe mode
2. Check the System log for any errors that relate to sr or srservic
(To check event logs

A
Click Start, Control Panel, then Performance and Maintenanc

B
Click Administrative Tools, Computer Management, double-click Event Viewer, then click Syste


C
Click the Source tab to sort by name, and then type for "sr" or "srservice." Double-click each of these services, and then evaluate the event description for the cause of the problem.


3. If these steps don't help, run srdiag.exe to troubleshoot further. Srdiag creates a .cab file, which it places in the \%windir%\system32\restore folder by default. You can double-click the file or right-click it and choose Extract. You can then examine the 14 extracted files to troubleshoot your problem
