When I try to restore my computer to an earlier date using the windows
restore function I get a message saying " cannot restore to that date try
another date" but no matter what date I choose I get the same message. Can
anybody help please?
 
Chances are, Albert, that the system restore points have become corrupt. if
this is the case then there is nothing you can do other than delete the
restore points (start>control panel>system. Click the system restore tab in
system properties and put a tick mark in the 'turn off system restore on all
drives' option. Click OK. Now open up system properties again, click system
retore tab and remove the tick mark from the 'turn off system restore points
on all dirves' option. System restore will now start monitoring your system
again) and start again. Unfortunately, this does not help you return your pc
to a previous time.
