System Restore Takes Forever to Open

When I click System Restore it takes nearly 40 seconds top open.
Sometimes longer than that. When my patients runs out and I clisk it
again I get a message telling me it's already open. Where, I have no idea.

Anyone else having this problem?

It seems to be the way it works. I wish I knew why, but I don't.

Maintain your patience.

Hello James

Actually yes, I have experienced this before. You open System Restor
and you think it didn't open so you try it again and it says somethin
like: System Restore is already running, closing current session.

Maybe it just takes awhile to load as it has to read all the curren
and past restore points..

It takes so long that I have concluded it is analyzing the hard drive,
analyzing the shadow drive (or whatever it's called), and verifying
your moral worthiness. Especially the last...

Yes.

To amplify - the 40 seconds you mention is not out of line, in my
experience. At least two in this thread recommended patience. Now you
know why :-)

Wait until, after a major crash that seemed to destroy your system, you
try booting into "repair this installation". I'm not sure if I got the
name right, but I do remember maybe 40 minutes with no visible sign of
progress, or even activity, followed by a successful boot. That was
painful. I still shudder five or six months later, just remembering it
so I could write this post.

Just checked mine... 2 seconds.

Months ago it sometimes took a long time. I can't remember how long
ago that was... but it probably was last year sometime.
