I have disableb system restore at some time ago...

Now I wanted to re-enable it but cannot solve the problem how to do it.

I have changed Local Group Policy editor settings:

System restore:

Turn off Configuration - disable
Turn off System Restore - disable

but that didn't help? Could somebody tell me detailed instructions how to do
it plz.

btw Vista Business SP1

Hi,

Go to the Control Panel and open the System applet. Click on the link for
System Protection. Check the box for the system drive to re-enable this
process.

On the System Protection tab the drive choices appear in a window about 2/3
of the way down.

Hi,

Run services.msc from the start/search line, check that Volume Shadow Copy
is not disabled (doesn't have to be running, but it can't be set to
disabled).
