Solve : When System Restore Doesn't Work? |
|
Answer» Hi! I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 running XP Professional. I have plenty of memory (M), plenty of available hard drive space (50 GB) and a non-working system RESTORE feature. It did work until about 2 months ago. When I attempt to use it it goes through the restart and then says that it cannot restore my machine. No matter which highlighted DATE I select, I GET the same response. I've increased the memory space for it, I've tried manually creating restore points--always the same response. HELP!!! Hi!

HELP!!! ok read this....... Re-Enabling System Restore One of the tips that was widely circulated on the net when XP Professional was first released involved disabling System Restore via Group Policy Editor. It certainly works, but a problem arises if you want to re-enable System Restore at a later date. There is no option to re-enable it again. To do so: Start the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) Navigate to Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/System Restore Set Turn off System Restore and Turn off Configuration to Disable Right CLICK on My Computer and Select Manage Navigate to Services and Applications/Services Navigate to System Restore Service and DOUBLE click On the General tab set [Startup Type] to Automatic using the drop down list Click the Start button to start the service Close the Computer Management console Return to System Restore in Group Policy Editor and configure both to Not Configured Close Group Policy Editor and reboot the system. After the reboot is complete, right click My Computer, select Properties and the tab for System Restore will have been restored. Configure it to your individual needs and satisfaction. 8bamboos, Thank you very much for your fix! I tried it out and it seems to work! On the system restore calendar, it is like the program just woke up! The only active date is now just today but I made a manual restore point and utilizing the program it did go back in time. Again, thank you very much! EricQuote from: eblackhawk on September 12, 2007, 04:46:54 PM 8bamboos, Thank you very much for your fix! I tried it out and it seems to work!
