I don't seem to be able to retain restore points for more than a couple of
days. My settings are for 12% disc space being available. Today, for
example, the only restore point available is a system checkpoint made last
night. I did create a restore point yesterday morn but that has vanished.
Any ideas please?

Hi

How much free disk space have you got? SR needs at least 200mbs to work properly, so if you haven't got much more than that free, you will only be able to create a few SR points.

Thank for the suggestion. No it's not that; I have 1800Mb free. The one I
set this morning is still there as is the system checkpoint made at 11.33 pm
last night but not the one I created afterwards

Hi

It seems as though have a LIFO problem. That could result from corrupt files in the System Volume Information folder. Try this to disable then re-enable SR:

Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the System Restore tab. Enable 'Turn off System Restore on all drives', reboot, then re-enable SR and reboot again. That will give you a new SR point, but will delete any SR points that may have had.

Right; I'll do that...thank you

Hello

I've left it a few days to see what happens and only yesterday's restore
points are there, the others have vanished.

Today the only restore point was a system checkpoint this morning.. What
can make restore points simple vanish?
