System Restore

When I try to create a restore point, I get a message
saying it can't create it, that I need to restart my
computer. It doesn't matter how many times I restart, I
continue to get the message. It also appears to have quit
creating its own restore points.

This can happen for a number of reasons
Please check the following points.

1) How big is your HD?
2) What's the allocation for System Restore set to - System
Properties|Performance|File System
3) What's the amount of space taken up by the C:\_Restore folder tree (It's
Hidden, and a System folder, so you'll need to enable viewing of these in
Folder Options)
4) is there a WININIT.INI file in the C:\Windows folder?

Try this:-

Start|Run
type

SCANREG /FIX

and click OK

does that help

HTH - with answeres to the above we should be able to help.
