Set Folder Options in Windows Explorer so that you can see System Files and
Hidden files (2 settings!) then find the C:\_RESTORE folder - r-click on it,
and select Properties. How many files/folders are there? If it's around 64
thousand, then LiveUpdate has been up to its tricks again, and you'll have
to completely remove the folder from DOS - use the following method, which
seems to be the easiest at present.
Reboot to DOS using your Startup disk enter the following commands at the
A:\> prompt.
ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\_RESTORE
REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST
remove the floppy, and reboot to normal windows. - your error should be
gone, and you should now have a new, single restore point. Go to Windows
Explorer, and delete the C:\OLDREST folder
