I don't get it. I am trying to do a system rstore on my computer. Windows XP Pro SP2. So I go to Start>Control Panel>Help and Support> Undo canges with System Restore.
Then a window pops up that says: “System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, and then run system restore again.” I have restarted my system about fifty times and this occures still. It is not critcal at this time as I have uninstalled Kaza and Soulseek which I thought were the problem, but they weren't. Any ideas as to why it's doing this? Time to reformat?

Do you even have system restore turned on?

If system restore was disabled, you're SOL.

Why are you trying the system restore btw? Maybe it can be fixed before you do that. Then you could create a restore point and be safe in the future.

My system Restore is NOT turned off.
That's what's so weird about this.

System Restore is under SyStem Tools under accessories? Before you can restore your computer you have to have a RESTORE POINT in the first place... look some things over again.
