I installed ZoneAlarm two days ago. Ran into other problems the next day,
uninstalled ZoneAlarm then tried to do a System Restore. No go. There were
no shadow files. Later found out that ZoneAlarm installation overwhelms
System Restore with huge files, Vista non-ceremoniously deletes ALL shadow
files. This may not be your problem since my error message was that there
were no restore files.

No solution, but have had exactly the same experience. Have tried 3
restore points with the same response.

Hi Bob,

I do not know, but maybe you can find a answer at this link. It pretty
much tells you everything about System restore.

Here are links to MVP Bert Kinney's System Restore troubleshooting
links. Got Norton? That will mess up System Restore, too.

Another black mark against Norton - as if it needed any more! Thanks for
posting back with your solution.

I have McAfee instead of Norton, so could that be my problem with the System
Restore not completing? Never had this problem with XP! Thanks for any help!
PLEASE!!
