Hi Ben,

In Vista, as in XP, the backup registry files are in
C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack, not in the system restore volume. The
process is essentially the same to recover them.

Hi Ben,

You could also try restoring from the Windows Recovery Environment.
Running System Restore from System Recovery Options:

Hi Rick,

In the regBack are just two set of files today and yesterday. In system
restore there are more then 10 restore points. Do you know how ik can reach
that points? I sow the same on the laptop of my daughter.

Hi,

What happens when you try to use System Restore? You are aware that you can
now access it from the Recovery Environment as well, yes?

Did the notebook ship with a installation disk?
