Hi, i hope someone can help. I am unable to restore my computer to an earlier
time. I know that restore points have been made as i made one myself on the
19th however that day is not in bold type and consequently cannot be
selected. There are also no automatic system restore points showing and i
cannot scroll backwards through the previous months. The mouse pointer does
not change to a hand (ie selectable) on any of the days nor month scroll
arrow. The only backup points i can select are those made on the day,
consequently any restore points made today will no longer be selectable
tomorrow.
Any help would be appreciated.

This is not a newsgroup for either Win ME or Win XP problems - I suggest
that you ask this question in a more appropriate newsgroup, quoting your OS,
and the exact error messages you get when attempting to create and/or use
any restore points.

If your system is ME, then have a look here for some possible scenarios.....

(many are also applicable to XP - but not tested as such)
